Popis: | Muon spin precession frequencies and transverse relaxation rates have been measured on demagnetized iron, cobalt, and FeCo alloys (3 at%–50 at% Co) between room temperature and the Curie temperatureT c. The increase of the relaxation rate in iron between 930 K and 1010 K could be quantitatively attributed to the trapping of positive muons by vacancies in thermal equilibrium, resulting in an enthalpy of monovacancy formation ofH 1V F =(1.7±0.1) eV. the smallest vacancy concentrations detected are = 10−8. |
