Slip maps of dislocation motion under [001] uniaxial compression and tension during simulations of bulk plasticity. a–b Maps of the cumulative dislocation flux γ from all dislocations from strain 0.5 to 1. c–d Maps of the cumulative dislocation flux from the \(\frac {1}{2}[111]\) dislocations alone. Positions of relevant crystallographic slip planes along the [111] zone are indicated. e–f Probability distribution of slip facets area as a function of the 〈111〉 zonal plane angle for all \(\frac {1}{2}\langle 111\rangle \) dislocations. The flux is further partitioned into screw and non-screw dislocations contribution, where non-screw dislocations correspond to facets with character angle θ≥20∘. The thin dashed line is the Schmid factor variation over the zone with its scale shown on the right axis
