Abstract

Compression tests with varying loading rates were performed on [001] and [235] oriented small-scale bcc Mo and Nb pillars to determine the contribution of thermally activated screw dislocation motion during deformation. Calculated activation volumes were shown to be in the range of 2 - 9 b3 and by further examination were found to decrease with pillar diameter. This suggests that the kink-pair nucleation of screw dislocations is enhanced by surface effects in the micron and submicron range.
