Formation and migration energies of monovacancies in tantalum

  • 1. Universitaet Stuttgart, Institut fuer Theoretische und Angewandte Physik, Stuttgart, Germany

Description

Vacancies in thermal equilibrium were investigated by measuring the Doppler broadening of the 2γ positron-annihilation line of Ta from 35 K to the melting temperature. Experimental evidence for detrapping of positrons from vacancies at high temperatures was found. The consequences of the values obtained for monovacancy-formation and -migration enthalpies, H/sub IV//sup F/ approx. = 2.2 eV, H/sub IV//sup M/ = approx. = 1.9 eV, for the interpretation of radiation damage and cold-work experiments are discussed
