Measurement of Dislocation Densities by the Lambot Method

Abstract
The applicability of the Lambot x‐ray technique to dislocation density measurements is considered using several sample models of the dislocation array. The expression relating dislocation density of a random array to the angular misorientation of a particular set of lattice planes is derived. The dependence of broadening on the size of the diffracting area is found to satisfy this expression in the case of plastically deformed KCl. Limitations on the use of the method are discussed.
