“…23,26,27 Therefore, Doyama and Cotterill 25 suggested considering dislocation lines at room temperature rather as precursor states for a transition into deeper traps such as vacancies trapped in the elastic stress field around a dislocation or ͑monoatomic͒ jogs on edge dislocation lines, for which a positron lifetime slightly lower to those in vacancies have been calculated, 19 than the final annihilation site. 15,28,29 The consequences of this model, especially on the temperature dependence of the positron trapping rate at dislocations, were discussed by several authors.…”
