We have observed a time delay in HgCdTe in the photoplastic response of these crystals. The magnitude of the time delay and the total change in stress Δσ are dependent on the wavelength of the irradiation. The observation of a time delay provides a basis for establishing that the photoplastic process is a dynamic one, in contrast to prior treatments of the problem as a static process. We also present data on the influence of light on the fracture toughness of the crystals.
