Kinetics of thermal vacancies in AlPdMn-quasicrystals — •F. Baier, K. Sato, and H.-E. Schaefer — Univ. Stuttgart, Inst. f. Theo. und Angew. Physik

For studying atomic vacancies in quasicrystals the specific techniques of positron annihilation spectroscopy has been employed. In quasicrystals and approximants of the AlPdMn- and in the ZnMgHo-systems structural vacancies in the concentration range of 10−3 have been observed [1,2,3]. We perform the first in-situ measurements of the positron lifetime at high temperatures, where the formation of thermal vacancies in i-Al70.2Pd20.3Mn8.5 can be observed directly [4]. The annealing behavior of quenched-in vacancies, which coincide with the data from earlier time-differential dilatometry studies after fast temperature changes [1], gives access to the vacancy migration properties and kinetics in quasicrystals. From the coincident measurement of the Doppler broadening of the positron-electron annihilation photon line at ambient temperatures we deduce that the vacancies observed in i-Al70.2Pd20.3Mn8.5 are predominantely located in an Al-rich environment. Supported by the DFG SPQK SCHA428/22-1,2,3,4.
