Description

Singapore: World Scientific Publishing Co., Ltd., 2000. - 328 pp. ISBN 981-02-4140-2In this book, the focus is on equilibrium point defects in metals and their relation with the thermophysical properties of metals at high temperatures. An attempt will be made to answer two important questions: (i) what are the equilibrium vacancy concentrations in metals, and (ii) what is the nature of the strong nonlinear increase in the specific heat of metals at high temperatures. Along with a discussion of the experimental data and the theoretical estimates now available, some approaches are proposed that seem to be most suitable for settling the questions discussed above.Introduction Basic theory of point-defect formation Methods for studying point defects Modulation calorimetry and related techniques Enthalpy and specific heat of metals Thermal expansion of metals Electrical resistivity of metals Positron annihilation Other methods Equilibration of point defects Parameters of vacancy formation Discussion Conclusions Acknowledgments References Index
