Detrapping of vacancies at in/sup 111/ in quenched silver

Abstract

The isothermal recovery of a quenched Ag foil doped with 111 ln has been studied through the time-differential perturbed-angular-correlation technique. A nearest-neighbor-vacancy configuration has produced a quadrupole interaction frequency, v0 = 166±3 MHz, and a detrapping vacancy process has been detected with Ed = 1.09±0.05 e V. The results are discussed and compared with previous measurements.
