Recovery of Fast Neutron Irradiated Copper and Gold at Low-Temperatures

The recovery of the electrical resistivity of 99.999% purity Cu and Au and Au-0.1% Cu alloy was studied after fast neutron irradiation at liquid He temperature. The damage production rate decreased by cold work and alloying in Au, but it increased by cold work in Cu. Cold work enhanced the recovery...

Description
Summary:The recovery of the electrical resistivity of 99.999% purity Cu and Au and Au-0.1% Cu alloy was studied after fast neutron irradiation at liquid He temperature. The damage production rate decreased by cold work and alloying in Au, but it increased by cold work in Cu. Cold work enhanced the recovery above 150°K in Cu and above 50°K in Au. In Au, the stage III recovery shifted by about 30°K toward lower temperature for cold worked specimens.
