Abstract

In-flux strain relaxation experiments were conducted to follow the rate at which Zener directional order is established, in a Ag-24 at % Zn alloy, during successive irradiations by 1 MeV γ-rays, 2.5 MeV electrons and reactor neutrons, in conditions of a dynamic point defect supersaturation. In every case, the predominant regime for the elimination of the created defects was mutual recombination. This permitted the determination of the production efficiency of freely migrating vacancies and self-interstitials. The relevant displacement cross-sections inferred from the results were 0.012, 60 and 250 barns, respectively.
