Deformation and oxygen diffusion in Mn/sub 1-delta/O

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7034561
The steady-state flow stress of MnO single crystals has been measured from 900 to 1400/sup 0/C over a wide range of oxygen partial pressures, p/sub O/sub 2//, from 10/sup -11/ to 10/sup 2/ Pa. Diffusion of /sup 18/O in MnO has been measured in the temperature range of 1100 to 1400/sup 0/C at a p/sub O/sub 2// = 1 x 10/sup -6/ Pa. It has been firmly established that the recovery processes are controlled by dislocation climb which is governed by diffusion of anion defects. Vacancies or interstitials, whose charge depends on temperature, are operative depending on the p/sub O/sub 2//. When the MnO data are compared with those of other isostructural nonstoichiometric oxides, a very consistent description of the relationship between the minority point defects and steady-state deformation emerges.
