Popis: Single crystals of 99.999% and 99.9999% pure aluminum were annealed at high elevated temperatures (0.98T m ) for relatively long times of up to one year, the longest in the literature. Remarkably, the dislocation density remains relatively constant at a value of about 10 9 m −2 over a period of one year. The stability suggests some sort of “frustration” limit. This has implications towards the so-called “Harper-Dorn creep” that generally occurs at fairly high temperatures (e.g. > 0.90T m ) and very low stresses. It is possible that ordinary five-power-law creep occurs within the tradition Harper-Dorn regime with very low initial dislocation densities in aluminum. Higher initial dislocation densities, such as with this annealing study, may lead to Harper-Dorn (Newtonian) creep.
