Abstract
Abstract Experiments and theories concerning charged dislocations in alkali halide crystals are reviewed in detail, with particular attention to the way in which the experiments should be interpreted and to the range of applicability of the sweep-up and various forms of thermal-equilibrium models. Possible effects on mechanical properties and internal friction are analysed. The transient and steady-state effects of plastic deformation on ionic conductivity are described and new interpretations involving charged dislocations are proposed. A survey of results on the scattering of light by alkali halide single crystals leads to the conclusion that charged dislocations do not play an important role. Evidence about charges on surfaces and on dislocations in AgCl and AgBr is reviewed and compared with that for alkali halides. Comparisons are also made with MgO, the CsCl and CaF2 structures, semiconductors and ice.
