On the basis of the relative curve of strain-rate sensitivity and stress decrement due to oscillation, the influence of strain on the interaction between a dislocation and impurities was investigated for three kinds of specimens: KCl, KCl:Li+ (LiCl 0.5 mol% in the melt), and KCl:Na+ (NaCl 0.5 mol% in the melt). As a result, it seemed that the Na+ ions in KCl:Na+ crystal make the forest dislocation density increased during plastic deformation at 80-300 K. However, the Li+ ions in KCl:Li+ do not influence the forest dislocation density.
