Abstract
Measurements of the linear growth rate of white tin into thin single‐crystal wafers of gray tin, over the temperature range 24.2° to 46.5°C, are presented. The rate is not a single‐valued function of the temperature. Imposed upon the strong temperature dependence of the average rate is a variation which is well defined at a given temperature; the spread in the observed values decreases sharply with increasing temperature. The variation is attributed to two observed stress‐relaxation processes: cleavage in the gray tin and plastic deformation, accompanied by recrystallization, in the white tin.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
