Figure 5

Temporal evolution of measured elastic strain (black circles and dashed line), estimated total strain (solid line), estimated stress (red line), and measured FWHM of peaks (blue circles and line). The stress wave peak precedes the plastic wave peak, as indicated by the peak width of the diffraction pattern, followed by the strain wave peak. Although it was theoretically predicted that the peaks of the stress and strain waves would diverge with time, this has not been reported experimentally. Furthermore, it is a novel finding that the plastic wave peak is positioned between these deviations, which has never been predicted even theoretically.
