The thermoelectric power of ionic crystals II. Results for potassium chloride

Abstract
The number of impurity atoms arriving at an edge dislocation has been calculated as a function of time, making due allowance for core saturation due to back diffusion and depletion. Initially, the variation agrees closely with the previously calculated dependence of (time)$^{\frac{2}{3}}$, while at large times a steady state is achieved. The theory is in excellent agreement with experiments on the strain ageing of some low carbon steels over the complete range of time.
