By means of the new technique of sealed–source specimens the Doppler broadening of the
positron–annihilation γM line has been investigated in the refractory metals V, Kb, Ta, Mo …

(Philips Research Laboratories Eindhoven, The Netherlands) the It is demonstrated that the
enthalpy of formation of monovacancies, AH,,, in pure metals can be related to n,, electron …

Heat capacity data for solid nickel have been re-evaluated and analyzed into physical
contributions, 0–1726 K. Two new sets of measurements of C p (Ni), 333–1500 K, have …

We examine in this work the potential and the functional to be used in a density functional
theory approach in order to describe correctly the formation and migration energies of …

Positron lifetime measurements in pure nickel and in α-nickel-carbon alloy have been
carried out. Vacancy formation enthalpy was determined to be Hfv=(1.73±0.07) eV in pure …

Atomistic simulations and experimental nanoindentation tests were used to examine the
effect of vacancies on the inception of plastic deformation in Ni. Molecular dynamics have …

The thermodynamic description of vacancies in binary alloys was expanded to high-entropy
alloys (HEAs) within the framework of the CALPHAD method and was applied to estimate …

Results of an augmented-plane-wave calculation of the positron lifetime and the angular-
correlation curves for aluminum, both in the vacancy-free crystal and in the crystal with a …

The solute-vacancy and the solute-interstitial binding energies for Si, Ge, and Be solutes in
Ni matrix have been calculated, using the results of an augmented-plane-wave calculation …

The temperature dependence of the Doppler-broadened positron annihilation lineshape has
been measured for 13 brass specimens with compositions varying from 0 to 48% by weight …
