However, viscoplastic deformation of these mineral phases is difficult to achieve in laboratory experiments at temperatures relevant to the upper crust without high confining pressures to suppress microcracking and brittle fracture. In this study we use instrumented nanoindentation to determine the plastic yield strength of quartz, and orthoclase and plagioclase feldspars at temperatures of 23 – 500 °C and at strain rates of ~10-2 s-1. The specimen investigated here is a medium-grained granite from southwestern Rhode Island, grains of which were characterized and oriented using scanning electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Indentation hardness and modulus of oriented grains was measured directly using a diamond Berkovich nanoindenter; these quantities were then used to calculate yield stresses through several existing theoretical and numerical models. The calculated yield stresses are fit to constitutive flow laws for low-temperature plasticity. We find that at these deformation conditions yield stresses are significantly lower than the stresses predicted by the extrapolation of previous flow laws from higher temperatures. We also find that, in contrast to most observations from nature, quartz is systematically stronger than both feldspars. 000000089 536__ $$c1726165$$oNational Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences$$qhttps://ror.org/05v01mk25$$1https://nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1726165 000000089 540__ $$aCreative Commons Attribution (CC BY) 4.0 International$$uhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 000000089 650__ $$aEarth and related environmental sciences 000000089 6531_ $$afeldspar 000000089 6531_ $$aquartz 000000089 6531_ $$agranite 000000089 6531_ $$ananoindentatoin 000000089 6531_ $$ayield stress 000000089 6531_ $$aflow law 000000089 655__ $$aTabular 000000089 7001_ $$aSly, Michael$$uWashington University in St. Louis$$4https://ror.org/01yc7t268$$5ROR 000000089 7001_ $$aPadilla, Katharine$$uWashington University in St. Louis$$4https://ror.org/01yc7t268$$5ROR 000000089 7001_ $$aFlores, Katharine$$1https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5853-0878$$uWashington University in St. Louis$$4https://ror.org/01yc7t268$$5ROR 000000089 7001_ $$aSkemer, Philip$$1https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6702-1098$$uWashington University in St. Louis$$4https://ror.org/01yc7t268$$5ROR 000000089 8564_ $$9c9a3a945-42a3-4582-b98e-3f3e1351d9f7$$s162489943$$uhttps://data.library.wustl.edu/record/89/files/doi107936q6bb3786_sly.zip$$ePublic$$2898fd01f213aebdef2e5204b6cdcb33a$$01 000000089 8564_ $$9cba8d7b7-5be0-4ecf-94f4-3bf7360a6057$$s10815$$uhttps://data.library.wustl.edu/record/89/files/doi107936q6bb3786_sly_readme.txt$$ePublic$$2eb4d79a43423b5d4115b00bd0c3155e7$$01 000000089 904__ $$akatharinepadilla@wustl.edu 000000089 904__ $$afloresk@wustl.edu 000000089 904__ $$apskemer@wustl.edu 000000089 909CO $$ooai:data.library.wustl.edu:89$$pdataset 000000089 980__ $$aWashU Researcher Data
