Abstract
The effect of electric field E on the magnetoplastic effect (MPE) has been investigated in NaCl crystals with different impurities, which provide either the plasticization of the samples in the magnetic field (positive MPE) or their magnetic hardening (negative MPE). The mobility of individual dislocations under the joint action of the magnetic and electric fields and the mechanical load on the crystals has been studied. The sharp electric stimulation of the MPE of both signs has been revealed, i.e., an increase or a decrease in the mean free path of dislocations that is roughly proportional to exp(±E/E0) at E ≳ E0 ∼ 1–10 kV/m. In particular, in the negative-MPE NaCl(Pb) crystals, the accompanying electric field enhances the magnetic suppression of plasticity. The results are attributed to the electrically induced transformation of the additional part of the pinning impurity ions Me++ to the magnetically active state of Me+ on the dislocations. The subsequent magnetic transformation of the structure of these pinning centers should lead to a sharper variation of the dislocation pinning force (either an increase or a decrease, depending on the MPE sign).
