Abstract

This paper reports experiments in which in situ electrical resistivity measurements were used to monitor the formation of dislocations in initially dislocation-free NiAl single crystals. The electrical resistivity is found to exhibit an abrupt jump at the onset of plastic yielding. This is interpreted to result from an abrupt nucleation of a massive density of dislocations at the yield point.
