Within the framework of crystal plasticity the grain refinement observed in metals exposed to severe plastic deformation(SPD) is interpreted as an energy minimization process. For a crystalline solid it is less energetically costly to be fragmented in small regions(subgrains) deformed by a reduced number of slip syste…

We have studied spectral and temperature variations of the principal refractive indices of lithium potassium sulfate crystals, LiKSO 4 , subjected to uniaxial mechanical pressures. Notable baric increases in the refractive indices are found, which have been interpreted using classical single-oscillator dispersion Sell…
