Pseudoelasticity and aftereffect kinetics of solid parahydrogen at 1.8 K
Annotatsiya
Strain curves are obtained for high-purity single crystals of parahydrogen at T = 1.8 K under axial elongation resulting from a stepwise loading followed by a stepwise unloading. Samples were grown after diffusive passage of hydrogen through nickel, and the impurity concentration did not exceed 0.001%. A large (∼10%) reversible strain of hysteresis type (pseudoelasticity) was observed and found to be of the same type as under compression (A. N. Aleksandrovskii, E. A. Kir’yanova, V. G. Manzhelii, et al., Fiz. Nizk. Temp. 13, 1095 (1987) [Sov. J. Low Temp. Phys. 13, 623 (October 1987)]). The kinetics of deformation of the opposite sign obtained during the unloading process is studied and a logarithmic time dependence of this process as well as its stepwise occurrence are established. Possible mechanisms of pseudoelasticity of pure parahydrogen are discussed.
