Statistical heterogeneities of plastic deformation : an investigation based on surface profilometry
In this Thesis we use atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning white light interferometry (Zygo) to investigate the spatial heterogeneity of plastic flow in crystalline materials. To this end we analyze one-dimensional surface profiles obtained from surface maps of deformed Alkali Halide single cr...
