Question

write a summary of each of the techniques for measuring vacancy
concentrations, noted therein.

(1) Measurements of the quenched-in residual electrical
resistivity of aluminium rapidly cooled from temperatures be-
low about 800 K with initial quenching rates of 2 × 106 K s−1
give the enthalpy of formation of monovacancies H F
1V =
(0.65 ± 0.01) eV.
(2) Comparison of the quenching data with high-
temperature differential-dilatometry data gives the monova-
cancy formation entropy SF
1V = (0.76 ± 0.4)kB (kB =
Boltzmann’s constant) and the low-temperature resistivity per
unit concentration of vacancies ρ1V = (1.9 ± 0.1) μm.
(3) The binding enthalpy of divacancies in Al is H B
2V =
(0.17 5 ± 0.02 5) eV. This is in agreement with earlier ex-
perimental determinations by Doyama and Koehler 48) and by
Levy et al. 49, 50) but in marked contrast to the claim of Carling
et al., 23) based on computations with the generalized gradi-
ent approximation, that in Al H B
2V is zero or even negative
and therefore the contribution of divacancies to the thermal-
equilibrium concentration of vacant sites is negligibly small.
(4) The monovacancy formation enthalpies obtained by
positron annihilation show a relatively large scatter but are
compatible with the result stated in conclusion (1).
(5) At high temperatures, the capture radius of monova-
cancies in Al for positrons is r0 = 1.2a0 . The data sup-
port the view that at high temperatures the positron capture
is diffusion-limited and that the positron diffusivity is limited
by phonon scattering.
(6) Combination of conclusion (1) with self-diffusivity
data gives the monovacancy migration enthalpy H M
1V =
(0.61 ± 0.02) eV.
(7) Specific-heat measurements by Shukla, Plint and
Dimars 67, 68) are compatible with conclusions (1), (2) and (3).
(8) In the case of aluminium, ab-initio computations
based on the local-density approximation give better results
for H F
1V than computations based on the generalized gradient
approximation but, as the counterexample of copper 65) shows,
this is not a generic result.
