Abstract

ABSTRACTDislocation motion in alkali halide single crystals is strongly impeded by the presence of impurities, apart from obstacles built by the forest dislocations. The mean free path L of stepwise moving dislocations is measured by determination of the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1ρ as a function of the strain rate έ, varying the content of impurities and the temperature. The latter influences the distribution of the point defects and the activation rate of dislocations before obstacles, while the former merely shorten L, thereby raising 1/T1ρ.
