The present work reports the formation of an interstitial dislocation loop with a lower primary knock-on atom (PKA) energy in alpha-iron under strain conditions by the use of molecular dynamics simulation. The study was conducted using a PKA energy of 1~10 keV and hydro-static strain from −1.4 to 1.6%. The application of 1.6% hydrostatic strain results in the formation of ½<111> dislocation loop with a low PKA of 3 keV. This result was associated with a threshold displacement energy decrement when moving from compression to tension strain, which resulted in more Frenkel pairs initiated at peak time. Furthermore, many of the initiated defects were energetically favorable by 2 eV in the form of the interstitial dislocation loop rather than a mono defect.

In sample-scanning Laue microdiffraction, the local crystal orientation and local deviatoric strain tensor are obtained by illuminating the polycrystalline sample with a broadband `white' (5–30 keV) X-ray microbeam and analyzing the spot positions in the resulting local Laue pattern. Mapping local hydrostatic strain is usually slower, owing to the need to alternate between white and tunable-energy monochromatic microbeams. A technique has been developed to measure hydrostatic strain while keeping the white beam. The energy of one of the Laue spots of the grain of interest is measured using an energy-dispersive point detector, while simultaneously recording the Laue pattern on the two-dimensional detector. The experimental spot energy,Eexp, is therefore measured at the same time asEtheor, the theoretical spot energy for zero hydrostatic strain, which is derived from the analysis of the Laue pattern. The performance of the technique was compared with that of the monochromatic beam technique in two test cases: a Ge single crystal and a micrometre-sized UO2grain in a polycrystal. Accuracies on the hydrostatic strain Δa/aof ±0.4 × 10−4and ±1.3 × 10−4were obtained for Ge and UO2, respectively. Measurement strategies to limit the remaining uncertainties onEtheorare discussed.
