Single crystals of NaCl, NaBr, KCl, and KBr containing divalent additions of Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ were tested mechanically. In the solution‐treated condition, the yield strength, σv, as determined from compression testing in a 〈100〉 direction is essentially dependent on the concentration of the dopant only and is independent of the species of either the dopant or of the host material. All crystals soften on aging, with the exception of the NaCl:Ca2+, NaBr:Ca2+, and NaBr:Sr2+ systems. In addition, correlation was good between σv, and the Knoop hardness number, H, obtained by indentation with the long axis of the indenter aligned in 〈100〉. The equation is of the form σv=C(H–H0), where C≅ 0.21 for all four halide families and H0 is near the hardness value of the pure halides. Furthermore, H0≅5×10−3E111, the Young's modulus in the 〈111〉 direction. Hence σv≅0.21H–10−3E111.
Einkristalle von NaCl, NaBr, KCl und KBr, die Zusätze von Ca2+, Sr2+ und Ba2+ enthalten, werden auf ihre mechanischen Eigenschaften (Spannungs‐Dehnungs‐Verhalten, Härte, Streckgrenze und Einfluß einer Wärmebehandlung) hin untersucht.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
