A researcher who coauthored in situ material creep experiments on a nickel-based single crystal alloy. X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation followed the lattice response while the applied stress changed at fixed temperature. Comparing the responses of the matrix and reinforcing regions helped separate load transfer from plastic flow and constrain the motion of dislocations during high-temperature deformation.[ref]
