Recovery of lead after electron irradiation at 1. 5 K

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., B; (United States)

The low-temperature recovery of lead following an electron irradiation at 1.5 K shows the same features observed for all face-centered-cubic metals except for gold. The stage I occurs below 5.5 K. The I/subD/ recovery substage occurs at 4.15 +- 0.05 K with an activation energy of 0.010 +- 0.001 eV. The I/subE/ substage shifts with defect concentration in lead as it does in copper. The I/subE/ activation energy is 0.010 +- 0.001 eV. Since platinum and lead anneal in stage I in the normal fashion, the strange behavior of gold is clearly not determined by its position in the periodic table. (AIP)
