Abstract: | The effect of quenching on microhardness and dislocation mobility of NaCl:Ca and NaCl:Pb single crystals was studied. Both the decrease and increase of these parameters in quenching occurred depending on the type and concentration of impurity and quenching temperature. The absence of correlation between the changes of microhardness and those of dislocation ensemble mobility which resulted from the quenching, has been found first. The conditions of the observation of this phenomenon were revealed and the interpretation of the experimental facts was proposed. |
