Origin of sample size effect: Stochastic dislocation formation in crystalline metals at small scales

In crystalline metals at small scales, the dislocation density will be increased by stochastic events of dislocation network, leading to a universal power law for various material structures. In this work, we develop a model obeyed by a probability distribution of dislocation density to describe the...
