Abstract

The effect of the surface state and boundary physicochemical conditions on the starting stresses and dynamics of near-surface dislocations in lithium fluoride and sodium chloride crystals has been investigated by the method of prick dislocation rosettes arising in alkali halide single crystals upon microindentation. It has been shown that crystals with ionic bonds are characterized by a surface energy (potential) barrier that hinders the movement of near-surface dislocations and influences their starting stresses in crystal lattices.
