Abstract
MANY experiments have been carried out with sodium chloride crystals to investigate the Joffé effect, according to which the dissolution of surface layers by surrounding solvents results in an improvement of the plastic properties of the crystal. Hollomon and Fisher1 suggested that this might be due to surface sources of slip which play an important part during the initiation of plastic flow.
