Abstract: | A constant magnetic field is found to have a substantial effect on the macroplasticity of NaCl crystals when they are being
actively strained at a constant rate
during magnetic treatment. We have measured the dependence of the yield point σ
y
on the magnetic induction B=0–0.48 T and the strain rate
. It is shown that this magnetic effect has a threshold character and is observed only for B>B
c
, where B
c
grows with increasing
as
. The lower the strain rate
, the larger the relative decrease in the yield point σ
y
(B)/σ
y
(0) at fixed field B>B
c
. At small enough strain rates
the threshold field B
c
ceases to depend on
and goes constant. A theoretical model is proposed which is in good agreement with the observed regularities. The model is
based on the competition between thermally activated and magnetically stimulated depinning of dislocations from paramagnetic
impurity centers.
