Positron lifetime measurements are reported on shock loaded Ti and titanium alloy BT14. It is shown that the explosive waves have a great effect on the positron annihilation parameters, connected with extensive changes in the structure of the material during dynamic deformation. The explosive wave produces vacancies, dislocations, and vacancy clusters. With the increasing of the wave pressure the concentration of dislocations and the size of clusters increase.
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.
