Article: Pagan DC, Miller MP; (2014) Connecting Heterogeneous Single Slip to Diffraction Peak Evolution in High-energy Monochromatic X-ray Experiments, Journal of Applied Crystallography, 47: 887-898
Abstract: A forward modeling diffraction framework is introduced and employed to identify slip system activity in high-energy diffraction microscopy
(HEDM) experiments. In the framework, diffraction simulations are conducted on virtual mosaic crystals with orientation gradients consistent with Nye’s model of heterogeneous single slip. Simulated diffraction peaks are then compared against experimental measurements to identify slip system activity. Simulation results compared against diffraction data measured in situ from a silicon single-crystal specimen plastically deformed under single-slip conditions indicate that slip system activity can be identified during HEDM experiments.
