Abstract: | A magnetic induction threshold B c above which the magnetoplastic effect — depinning of dislocations from paramagnetic pinning centers — can be observed in samples placed in a magnetic field is predicted and observed in Al, NaCl, and LiF crystals. The existence of a threshold is associated with the fact that for B<B c the spin-lattice relaxation time τsl in a dislocation-paramagnetic-center system is less than the time required for spin evolution in a magnetic field resulting in the removal of the spin forbiddenness of an electronic transition that “switches off” the dislocation-pinning-center interaction. It is shown that the threshold field B c is sensitive to temperature and x-ray irradiation of the samples. A new method for measuring the spin-lattice relaxation time in paramagnetic centers on dislocations is proposed on the basis of the data obtained. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor.
