AbstractVacancy formation was studied in the refractory bcc metals, tungsten, chromium, and niobium, using the positron annihilation spectroscopy Doppler broadening technique, between room temperature and the respective melting temperatures, under ultra-high vacuum conditions. Temperatures were measured by optical and infrared pyrometry, a W(Rh) thermocouple, and the power delivered to the sample, with calibrations against known melting temperatures. For W, a trapping-model analysis of the data from the temperature range 300–3633 K yielded a vacancy formation enthalpy of 3.76 ± 0.39 eV. For Cr, a similar fit to the data from 296–2049 K yielded a vacancy formation enthalpy of 2.0 ± 0.2 eV. The results are discussed in relation to previous vacancy formation and self-diffusion studies. Measurements on Nb as a function of temperature and oxygen content are also presented.

The temperature dependence of the Doppler-broadened positron annihilation lineshape has been measured for 13 brass specimens with compositions varying from 0 to 48% by weight of Zn. The vacancy formation enthalpy deduced from these measurements shows a linear decrease of 22% with increasing Zn concentration through the α phase and a further 31% decrease on changing from fcc to bcc structure.
