Abstract

The authors put forward a procedure of determination of strain tensor components through the analysis of distribution of intensity of back-scattered electrons in Kikuchi patterns. The strain state has been studied in local areas of a synthetic diamond crystal produced by the temperature gradient method in the Fe–Al–C system through growing onto a diamond single crystal synthesized in the Ni–Mn–C system. Characteristic surfaces of the strain tensors and strain ellipsoids have been plotted; special features of strain distribution in the crystal have been analyzed. Diagonal tensor components have been determined from the changes of distributions of intensity of individual bands, the other components have been found from the displacements of axes of zones relative to their positions in the standard Kikuchi pattern.
