Abstract

AbstractThe mobility of dislocations in LiF has been measured at 4.2 and 10 K by means of an etch pit technique. The average velocity of screw dislocations is 2–5 times as large as edge dislocations. The results of the stress and temperature dependence of the velocities correlate well with the data of the critical shear stress in the same temperature region, and are well described by the theory of Peierls mechanism with thd Peierls stress of about 20 MPa for edge dislocations on {110} slip plane.
