A Universal Approach Towards Computational Characterization of Dislocation Microstructure

Abstract

Dislocations—linear defects within the crystal lattice of, e.g., metals—have been directly observed and analyzed for nearly a century. While experimental characterization methods can nowadays reconstruct three-dimensional pictures of complex dislocation networks, simulation methods are at the same time more and more able to predict the evolution of such systems in great detail. Concise methods for analyzing and comparing dislocation microstructure, however, are still lagging behind. We introduce a universal microstructure “language” which could be used for direct comparisons and detailed analysis of very different experimental and simulation methods.
