In the high-stress regime strongly accelerating creep was observed. All deformation was homogeneous. The activation volume was 106 Angstrom(3). The isoconfigurational activation energy was 9.03+/-0.64 eV. The disordering rate is proportional to the applied power density (stressxstrain rate). The disordering process is inefficient in energy and in the production of free volume.en-USJournal Article2019-10-0910.1063/1.1827344
