A transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study of the dislocation structure in slip bands at the L ü ders band front in neutron-irradiated copper (Cu) single crystals reveals bands in various stages of development. This permits to specify the dislocation processes in particular for termination of slip band growth in the yield region. The important processes occurring during slip band growth are obstacle destruction by moving dislocations, formation of dynamic pile-ups, frequency of microscopic cross-slip and climb processes, formation of multipoles and of clusters of heavily jogged edge dipoles, which ultimately stop the local deformation in the cleared slip band channel. The formation of a dislocation group in the stress gradient within the L ü ders band region is considered and it is shown that the group behaves like a single dislocation placed in the " center of gravity " of the quasi-stationary distribution which is the same as in the static case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
