Scientific paper

We use scanning white-light interferometry to investigate the surface morphology evolution of KCl single crystals during plastic deformation in hardening stages I and II. We demonstrate that during deformation initially almost smooth as-cleaved surfaces develop self-affine roughness over several orders of magnitude in scale. The roughness exponent ζ of one-dimensional surface profiles is found to be close to 0.7. The kinetics of surface roughening is investigated, and the rate of roughening is shown to correlate with the hardening rate. During hardening stage II, a marked acceleration of the surface roughening rate is observed. The morphology of surface profiles changes at the transition between hardening stages I and II.
