Zur thermisch aktivierten Basisgleitung von Antimoneinkristallen

It is found that the basal slip in antimony single crystals is a thermally activated process. The activation volume, the thermal component of applied stress, and the enthalpy of activation ΔH₀ of the dislocation movement were determined from differential constant strain-rate tests, stress relaxation experiments, and differential temperature tests. It may be concluded that a diffusion controlled mechanism like the nonconservative movement of jogs is rate controlling.
