Popis: The magnetoplastic effect in dislocation silicon is discovered. It is shown that in the presence of tensile stresses (up to 20 MPa), the mechanically activated path of surface dislocation half-loops is limited mainly by the dynamics of defects in various slip systems relative to the applied load. The activation barriers for the motion of dislocations controlled by various conditions in the temperature range T=850–950 K are EaF=2.1±0.1 eV and EaS=1.8±0.1 eV. An increase in the path of surface dislocation half-loops and a change in the activation barriers are detected (EaF=1.4±0.1 eV and EaS=1.6±0.1 eV) after subjecting silicon to a magnetic field (B=0.7 T) for 30 min. Possible reasons behind the observed effects are discussed.
