High-resolution strain mapping in bulk samples using full-profile analysis of energy-dispersive synchrotron X-ray diffraction data

The feasibility of both high spatial and strain resolution is demonstrated using high-energy X-rays between 100 and 300 keV on beamline ID15A at the ESRF. The data analysis was performed using a multiple-peak Pawley-type refinement on the recorded spectra. An asymmetric peak profile was necessary in order to obtain a point-to-point uncertainty of 10−5. The measurements have been validated with complementary techniques or reference data.
