Measuring Strain Using X-Ray Diffraction By: James Belasco
What is Strain? • When a force is applied materials deform in two ways • It will deform and then revert to its original shape (reversible) • Change its shape permanently (irreversible)
The Structure of Materials • At the local level, solids are composed o crystalline lattices • Atoms in these crystal structures are arranged in different crystal shapes depending on the material
Lattice Under Stress • In reversible strain the bonds act like springs • Strain “stretches” the bonds in the lattice without breaking them
How does a polycrystalline material distribute strain? ? 1 2 1 2 + = ? or
Polycrystalline Materials • Nanocrystalline structures are made of a large number of randomly oriented crystals • How does the bulk property of the material relate to the individual crystallites?

Straining Iron [110] [200] • Sets of crystals oriented in a particular direction from their own ring • Iron produces three rings [211]
One Ring χ Transformation Q To Have Cake • Diffraction images are transformed to a different coordinate system or “caked” χ Q
[211]: 207.3 Error: 9.2 [110]: 177.5 Error: 10.9 [200]: 152.3 Error: 6.05 Straining Iron • The slopes of the lines give us the elastic modulus in a crystallographic direction Strain Direction
How far can you stretch? Single Crystal Values 110 210 GPa 200 125 GPa 211 210 GPa Measured Values 110 177 ± 11 GPa 200 152 ± 6 GPa 211 207 ± 9 GPa ~ ~ The polycrystalline sample exhibits properties of the single crystal
So what Really Happens? 1 2 + = ?
