Point defect characterization in CoAl using positron annihilation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20001656
Vacancy-like defects in CoAl in the composition range 48.5 at.% {lt} C{sub Co} {lt} 53 at.% are investigated by means of positron lifetime spectroscopy and Doppler-broadening measurements. The observed lifetimes in the annealed samples confirm that defects are quenched-in during the production of the samples. The values of the positron lifetime and the S-parameter decrease with increasing Co concentration. After quenching from 1,400 C or 1,600 C an increase in the positron parameters is observed. Long-time annealing of the Co-rich sample shows a dramatic decrease of the positron lifetime to the expected bulk lifetime.
