Slip in explosively shocked magnesium oxide crystals

Abstract
The operative slip systems in MgO crystals, shock loaded along ⟨110⟩, ⟨111⟩, and ⟨100⟩ directions, have been studied using optical and electron, metallography. Slip occurs on the {100}, {110}, {111}, and {112} planes along the ⟨110⟩ direction. In addition, the dislocation density in the slip bands is greater than 2 × 1010/cm2. These results are explained in terms of the multiplication of dislocations and their movement over short distances.
