Electron-irradiated high-purity a-iron doped with various amounts of interstitial carbon impurities has been studied by positron-lifetime measurements. It is shown that during vacancy migration at 220 K an asymmetric vacancy-carbon pair is formed, where the carbon atom is located off the center of the vacancy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
