Positron trapping rate into dislocations in aluminum

  • 1. Hiroshima Univ. (Japan). Lab. of Crystal Physics

Description

The experimental determination has been made on the specific trapping rate μd of a positron into dislocations in deformed aluminum (99.999 % purity) at room temperature. A good linear relationship between the trapping rate and the dislocation density yields a value of (1.7 ± 0.2) x 10-4m2s-1 for μd. A comparison with published values suggests that impurities may reduce the trapping rate even in trace amounts. (author)
