The migration enthalpy $H_{iv}^m$ for point defects and dislocations is estimated by using positron lifetime technique; point defects and dislocations are produced as a result of plastic deformation at room temperature (RT) for the decomposition sequence, namely 5005, 5052 and 5083, of commercial...

The recovery behavior of 20% plastically deformed AlSi11.35Mg0.23 in various stages of isochronal annealing is investigated by positron lifetime (LT). Experimental results show that the positron mean lifetime is a function of annealing temperature. The lifetime of the positron annihilating in a...

This paper reports the results of lifetime measurements on deformed AlSiMgSr alloy. Using the trapping model, we obtained the value of 196.7 ps for the lifetime of the free state, and 210.5 ps for the trapped state. The specific trapping rate per unit defect concentration was calculated to be...
