Dislocation-free silicon crystals of ({\bar 2 \bar 1 \bar 1}) orientation with a hyperbolic notch, subjected to tensile deformation at 1073 K, were used as model material for the analysis of the induced plastic zone. The results obtained by X-ray topography and X-ray rocking-curve measurements were compared to theoretical calculations and predictions based on continuum mechanics. Good agreement between experiment and theory was obtained regarding the shape of the plastic zone, the contribution of the active slip systems to the size of the plastic zone and the direction of the maximum plastic strain trajectory in the zone. Discrepancies between experiment and theory regarding the symmetry relation of the plastic zone lobes and the dislocation density near the notch tip were attributed to the interactions and resulting work-hardening. These aspects were not taken into account in calculations of continuum mechanics.
