Abstract

ABSTRACTWe have measured the amplitude dependent internal friction (ADIF) and sound velocity down to 0.065 K of a 99.9999% (6N) aluminum that was plastically deformed by 1%. The strain amplitude was varied from ε = 1 × 10−8 to ε = 6 × 10−7, a factor of 60. It is observed that with increasing strain amplitude, both the internal friction and the sound velocity become temperature independent over an increasingly wider temperature range. ADIF measurements show a flattening of the temperature dependence of the strain amplitude at low temperatures which is taken to be strong evidence for dislocation tunneling.
