Abstract

The temperature dependence of positron annihilation has been investigated for samples of the ordered β-CuZn alloy with different crystallographic orientations. The results obtained have been interpreted on the basis of the extended trapping model. Analysis of the temperature dependence of the peak coincidence count gives the values of the free energy of formation for vacant sites, left by Cu- and Zn atoms equal 0.58±0.02 eV and 0.77±0.04 eV, respectively. The dependence of the vacancy formation energy on the long-range order parameter has not been observed.
