Abstract

In-situ electron diffraction experiment is performed in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) to study the crystal rotation in Cu single crystal nanopillar under compression. The time evolution of diffraction patterns is used to track the crystal rotation behavior and to predict the primary and critical slip systems. Results show that Cu single crystal first undergoes double slip on the geometrically slip systems, followed by single slip.
