Micropillar Strain-Burst Portrait: Size Effect & Avalanche Statistics

This 2D companion to the rendered micropillar compression tank plots the identical source-limited dislocation-avalanche model as four linked instrument panels: a draggable, zoomable pillar schematic, a live stress-strain staircase curve, a log-log histogram of every strain-burst avalanche recorded so far, and a size-effect curve tracing the "smaller is stronger" power law across copper, nickel and gold single crystals at once. Shrinking the pillar diameter starves the crystal of dislocation sources, so flow stress climbs and each individual avalanche grows relative to total strain — visible simultaneously as taller stair-steps, a rightward-shifted histogram, and a rising marker on the size-effect curve.
