Abstract
The recovery of silver cold-worked at room temperature was investigated by means of positron lifetime spectroscopy. At temperatures between 370 K and 470 K, a recovery stage occurs which is indicated by the decrease of a long lifetime ( tau 2=190(3)ps) intensity. In contrast to vacuum-annealed silver, the samples heated in an oxygen atmosphere exhibit an antirecovery stage above the solubility temperature of oxygen in silver: the intensity of tau 2 reincreases to some 80% above T approximately=500 K. This stage is attributed to the trapping of recrystallisation-induced vacancies at impurity oxygen molecules. To some extent, these complexes are thermally stable up to 1070 K.
