The resistivity recovery of pure and impurity-doped (0.2 - 1.5% Si, 0.15% C+N) concentrated ferritic Fe - Cr alloys after electron irradiation at 50 - 60 K has been investigated over the temperature range 110 - 390 K. A fine recovery spectrum structure consisting of five peaks has been observed over the range 135 - 230 K. Short-range ordering starts with the onset of vacancy long-range migration. Doping with both types of impurity suppresses the recovery spectrum structure over the range 160 - 220 K in a similar manner. Additional effects of impurity doping on the resistivity recovery caused by deviation from Matthiessen's rule have been analysed. A stage III peak is found at 210 K, and two peaks - at 175 K and 195 K - are interpreted as being due to the vacancy short-range migration. It is supposed that such a manifestation of short-range vacancy migration is due to a strong immobilization of self-interstitial atoms, and suppression of short-range and long-range defect annealing processes in stage I, according to a configuration-trapping mechanism similar to that of Ag - Zn alloys.
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.
