Abstract
Logarithmic stress relaxation in polycrystalline magnesium of 99.999% purity was studied at strains of up to 4% at 77β295 Β°K. The energy barrier of 0.74 Β± 0.05 eV, associated with the relaxation, was found to be numerically equal to that known to control the temperature dependence of the flow stress of magnesium single crystals in simple glide. The observations are explained on the assumption that the relaxation arises from residual glide of basal dislocations impeded by the frictional drag of elementary intersection jogs.

work is necessary in this field. More experimental evidence would be equally useful, particulary concerning carbon blacks, for which the graphitic structure may also be considered as nearly twodimensional. Such studies are under way in our laboratory.
