Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy for Heat-Treated Fe-Ga Alloys and Their Defect Structure
Source abstract
Abstract
We present the results of lifetime positron annihilation spectroscopy (PALS) for the alloys Fe21Ga and Fe22.4Ga, whose defect structure is connected with annealing from 20 to 1000C along the phase diagram of Fe21Ga and Fe22.4Ga, at the L12-A2 transitions and in the sub-lattice of the D03 phase. In frames of the standard trapping model, we estimate the positron annihilation parameters for the bulk metal and for the different thermal vacancies herein. Also we define concentrations of these vacancy defects, which may be helpful for explanation of the physical properties of Ge-Ga alloys, including giant softening and extremal $λ100$ at the given inter-metallic composition.
