Abstract

The influence of plastic flow on the ionic conductivity and darkenability of the alkali halides is discussed on the basis of the assumption that vacant lattice sites are generated during lattice flow and condense to form clusters during a subsequent period of time. These assumptions appear to lead to a reasonable interpretation of the available experiments on the changes in properties of the alkali halides which accompany plastic flow. The bleaching action of plastic flow on colored crystals is also discussed, although the mechanism appears to be much less apparent in this case.
