Abstract

We report on the spatiotemporal dynamics of dislocation avalanches (crystallographic slip) in gold microcrystals with different orientations and also different initial dislocation densities. It is found that the size-integrated averaged velocity profiles have both orientation-dependent and initial-microstructure-dependent peak velocities and velocity decays. With increasing symmetry and apparent strain-hardening rate, the peak velocities decrease and the velocity of the average shape profile decays more slowly with time. These experimental results indicate the material-specific nature of collective dislocation rearrangements that underlie slip events with a net magnitude of a few to several hundred Burgers vectors in the studied microcrystals. Furthermore, we point toward sensitivity to filtering details that may significantly affect conclusions when comparing experiment with theory.
