Abstract

The ultrasonic logarithmic decrement and modulus defect in high purity copper crystals was measured at 10, 30 and 50 MHz in the temperature interval 5-373 K. The samples were deformed at room temperature in the 3-20% range along the 111 crystallographic direction. The experimental data were fitted over the whole interval of temperatures, assuming the contribution of two kink mechanisms: (i) relaxation by kink pair formation with diffusion in the dislocation line and (ii) overdamped resonance of the kink chain with a temperature dependent number of kinks in the dislocation lines. With this procedure both primary and secondary properties of the high frequency Bordoni peak could be satisfactorily explained. Numerical data are reported for peak parameters and for the kink diffusion coefficient.
