Abstract
An adsorption-active medium (distilled water, which is chemically neutral under normal conditions) is capable of influencing the quasimicroplastic (QMP) deformation in solids—a fundamental effect of irreversible deformation in the range of low strains (e≈10−6). The results of experiments with heulandite (a zeolite mineral) showed that the adsorption-active medium reduces the energy barrier for the QMP deformation and increases the rate of this process. The mechanism of the QMP deformation in the presence of the adsorption-active medium remains unchanged, being mediated by single structural relaxation events in the vicinity of point defects.
