Abstract:Dedicated t o Professor V. I. STARTSEV on the occasion of his 70th birthday By attaching condenser plates directly t o the tensile specimen, creep rates of B-CuZn single crystals have been measured by the capacitance change in the strain-rate range of lo-' to s-l and at temperatures between 0.7 and 1 7 K using a 3He cryostat. Slope of the temperature variation of the stress t o give a constant strain-rate decreases below 5 K and seems t o level off at 0 K. The strain-rate sensitivity becomes almost constant be… Show more
