Abstract

Electron spin resonance and x-ray line broadening were used to measure the deformation-induced vacancies and dislocation densities, respectively, in MgO. The vacancy concentration was found to increase with increasing deformation rate and dislocation density. The generation of vacancies is explained by the nonconservative motion of dislocation jogs created by dislocation intersections in regions where the dislocation density is high.
