Hi Apu, About your question: "In this case it is case it is expected that there will be formation of dislocation loops in the material due to irradiation".
You may want to read: Barabash, R., and Krivoglaz, M. (1982). On the theory of x-ray and thermal neutron scattering by strongly distorted crystals with dislocation loops. Metallofizika 4, 417-428. It is in Russian but you may find the translation of the journal into English. You may also read a book Krivoglaz, M. (1996). X-ray and neutron diffraction in nonideal crystals (Springer Ver-lag, Berlin-NewYork).

Thanks in advance.
