Texture and Strain Mapping with X-rays, Neutrons, and Electrons
Organizers:

Information on the orientation of grains and the way that macroscopic strain is distributed among grains is crucial for understanding the mechanical properties of polycrystalline materials. For composite systems, knowledge of the behavior of the different constituent materials is often difficult or impossible to obtain with macroscopic experimental methods. For material that is formed into mechanical components, a part’s shape can lead to strong strain gradients under applied load.
Diffraction measurements with x-rays, neutrons, or electrons can determine the texture and strain as a function of position in a material, with each probe having its own particular advantages. Recent improvements in the capabilities of synchrotron light sources, neutron sources, and electron microscopes have led to increased numbers of experiments that use texture and strain mapping. This workshop will feature talks in a wide variety of scientific areas, using one or more of the three probes for mapping studies.
