Dislocation relaxation in tantalum at low temperatures
Keyword(s):
A maximum in the dissipation vs. temperature curve has been observed at about 25 °K in tantalum after a permanent deformation of about 7%. The temperature of the maximum increases with the vibration frequency indicating the presence of a thermally activated relaxation process. This effect is attributed to the dislocation motion (Bordoni peak) and the characteristic parameters are W = 0.038 eV and [Formula: see text]. Using the Seeger equation, a value for the Peierls' stress of about 6.5 × 106 dyn cm−2 is found. The presence of a large spectrum of relaxation times is also discussed.
