Abstract
The distribution of elastic strains at the submicrometre length scale within deformed metal single crystals has remarkably broad implications for our
understanding of important physical phenomena. These include
the evolution of the complex dislocation structures that govern
mechanical behaviour within individual grains, the transport
of dislocations through such structures, changes in mechanical
properties that occur during reverse loading (for example,
sheet-metal forming and fatigue), and the analyses of diffraction
line profiles for microstructural studies of these phenomena.
