The Dependence of the Deformation of Mn1-δO; on the Deviation from Stoichiometry**
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
The stress-strain behavior of <100> single crystals of Mn1-δQ has been measured for the first time. The experiments were performed at 1200°C varying the oxygen partial pressure PO2 from 10-12 to 10-5 atms which causes the deviation from stoichiometry δ to vary between 5×10-2 to 2 percent. The upper yield stress and the stress achieved at a zero work-hardening rate vary by a factor of 2 as a function of δ and exhibit a maximum at pO2∼10-9 atms. The present results suggest that the diffusion of oxygen interstitials control deformation for large δ while oxygen vacancies control deformation for small δ, an interpretation used to explain the deformation Co1-δQ. These results illustrate the intimate relationship between defect properties and deformation in nonstoichiometric oxides.
