Electron emission associated with plastic deformation and subsequent delayed emission was observed. The specimens were illuminated during both the growth and decay cycles. The emission rate, dN/dt, increased with time, to measured from the start of the strain cycle and could be described by an equation of the form dN/dt = K tn. The emission decay was approximately exponential. The emission yield increased with higher strain rates. Prior deformation increased the emission obtained in subsequent strain increments.29 ppengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
