Dislocation Mobility in Copper

Abstract

The velocity of dislocations of mixed edge-screw type in copper crystals of 99.999% purity has been measured as a function of stress at room temperature. Dislocation displacements produced by torsion stress pulses of microsecond duration were detected by etch pitting {100} surfaces. A nearly linear relationship between dislocation velocity and resolved shear stress was found. Stresses from 2.8×10^6 to 23.1×10^6 dyn/cm^2 produced velocities from 160 to 710 cm/sec. These data give a value of the damping constant for high-velocity dislocations of 7×10^(-4) dyn·sec/cm^2, in good agreement with the values deduced from internalfriction measurements. The results also agree, within experimental and theoretical uncertainties, with the phonon viscosity model for the mobility of dislocations.
