Proben können so lateral hochaufgelöst mit den Methoden der Positronenannihilationsspektroskopie (PAS) untersucht werden und man erhält Zugang zur detaillierten Messung von Plastizität und Defektdichten verschiedenster Materialien. Instrumentell ist eine Weiterentwicklung der BPM im Bereich der Strahlfokussierungs- und -justagesysteme geplant. Zudem soll die BPM um die Möglichkeit zur ortsaufgelösten Messung der Positronenlebensdauer ergänzt werden. Der aktuelle Fokus der Forschung liegt auf schweißbaren Aluminiumlegierungen der Systeme AA5xxx und AA6xxx. Besonderes Interesse gilt hier der Defektkonzentration direkt an der Schweißnaht und in der angrenzenden Wärmeeinflusszone, vor allem im Hinblick auf eine PASbasierte Schadensvorhersage für geschweißte Aluminiumwerkstoffe. positron, material http://www.dpg-verhandlungen.de/2011/dresden/mm31.pdf Konferenz DPG Frühjahrstagung, Dresden N.

Ser. 2011 265 1 012018 We present results on the structure of nano-sized particles (Guinier-Preston (GP) and Guinier-Preston-Bagaryatsky (GPB) zones) in Aluminum alloys. Precipitates of alloying elements like Cu, Mg, or Si hinder the motion of dislocations and, thus, are responsible for the strength of AlCuMg- and AlMgSi-alloys - used e.g. as AA2024 (old aircrafts) and AA6013 for the fuselage of the new Airbus A380, respectively. We will discuss the role of quenched-in vacancies for diffusive motion at room temperature (RT) enabling the growth of the precipitates. Using positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) – both lifetime and Doppler broadening – gives information on the local atomic environment in the vicinity of vacancies. On the other hand X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy is capable of characterizing the local atomic environment around selected elements (Cu, Mg). We will interpret the measured data by comparing them to numerical calculations of PAS and XAFS spectra. However, reliable numerical calculations of spectroscopic quantities are only possible provided that relaxed atomic positions are used as an input. We calculate those employing the ab-initio code SIESTA. Thus, considering decomposition of Al-alloys, we obtain extremely valuable information on the earliest stages, forming immediately after solution heat treatment and quenching, i.e. during the first few minutes of storage at RT. material http://stacks.iop.org/1742-6596/265/i=1/a=012018 10.1088/1742-6596/265/1/012018 T.

This class of age hardenable Al alloys includes technologically important systems such as e.g. Al-Mg-Si or Al-Cu. During ageing different precipitates are formed according to a specific precipitation sequence, which is always directed onto the corresponding intermetallic equilibrium phase. Probing the defect state of individual precipitates requires high spatial resolution as well as high chemical sensitivity. Both can be achieved using the finely focused positron beam provided by the Bonn Positron Microprobe (BPM) [1] in combination with the High Momentum Analysis (HMA) [2]. Employing the BPM, structures in the micron range can be probed by means of the spectroscopy of the Doppler broadening of annihilation radiation (DBAR). On the basis of these prerequisites single precipitates of intermetallic phases in Al-Mg-Si and Al-Cu, i.e. Mg 2 Si and Al 2 Cu, were probed. A detailed interpretation of these measurements necessarily relies on theoretical calculations of the DBAR of possible annihilation sites. These were performed employing the DOPPLER program. However, previous to the DBAR calculation the structures, which partly contain vacancies, were relaxed using the ab-initio code SIESTA, i.e. the atomic positions in presence of a vacancy were recalculated. material http://stacks.iop.org/1742-6596/262/i=1/a=012030 B.Klobes B.Korff O.Balarisi P.Eich M.Haaks I.Kohlbach K.Maier R.Sottong T.

Eng., A 2011 528 <prt>7-8</prt> 3253-3260 <prt>Although Al alloys based on the Al-Cu-(Mg) system have been investigated for decades, information about the evolution of microstructure on the atomistic level during natural ageing is scarce. Therefore, the early stages of natural ageing in laboratory Al-Cu-(Mg) alloys and in AA2024 were investigated using positron annihilation and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. This complementary approach allows for accessing both essential components of Al alloys, namely vacancies and alloying elements. It is found, that during natural ageing the chemical environment of vacancies is formed both of Cu and Mg atoms and that the rearrangement of vacancy surroundings persists the hardness increase of Al-Cu-Mg alloys. During natural ageing two different regimes of vacancy environment are detected and interpreted in terms of cluster growth and vacancy capture. Features of the near edge structure of the X-ray absorption are interpreted using theoretical calculations obtained by the FEFF8.4 code. Thus the agglomeration of Cu and Mg, which is accompanied by lattice distortions around Cu atoms, can be probed. A minimal size of Cu-Mg co-clusters is proposed for later stages of natural ageing.

No room temperature ageing could be observed in the case of the ternary Al-Cu-Au alloy. Instead, quenched-in vacancies were trapped by Au atoms and thus could not catalyse the decomposition of the alloy. However, artificial ageing dissolves the complexes of Au and vacancies. A comparison between experimental and calculated absorption spectra shows that Au atoms did not agglomerate significantly during either natural or artificial ageing. (C) 2010 Acta Materialia Inc.

M.Staab K.Maier article Wirtz2010 Non-destructive evaluation of plasticity and prediction of fatigue failure in industrial aluminium alloys with positrons Phys. Status Solidi A 2010 207 8 1827--1831 The concentration of lattice defects in plastically,deformed metals can be measured by positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) with an outstanding sensitivity. The positron acts as a highly mobile atomic probe sensitive to all defects forming an open volume in the lattice. Using a positron microbeam, like the Bonn positron microprobe (BPM), the lateral distribution of these defects in the sub-surface layer can be mapped with a resolution down to one micrometer. In this work the changes in the defect concentration were determined during tension tests on the aluminium alloys AA2024, AA6013 and AA6082. The results show that these changes depend on the configuration and the heat treatment of the alloys. Moreover, alternating load fatigue tests were performed on AA6082. The defect distribution was measured laterally resolved employing the BPM in several early stages of fatigue. Using those results the number of cycles to fatigue failure was extrapolated. The trueness of the prediction was tested by further fatiguing the sample until failure occurs. (C) 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Rev. B: Condens. Matter Mater. Phys. 2010 82 5 054113 Precipitates forming in decomposable aluminum alloys such as Al-Mg-Si evolve toward the corresponding intermetallic phase, which is beta(Mg(2)Si) in this case, depending on heat-treatment conditions. Individual beta precipitates were produced in an Al-1.11 at. % Mg-0.77 at. % Si alloy and identified using optical as well as electron microscopy. The individual beta precipitates could be investigated with regard to their intrinsic crystal defects using a finely focused positron microbeam provided by the Bonn Positron Microprobe. Comparison with theoretical calculations of the Doppler broadening of annihilation radiation reveals that beta precipitates most likely do not contain vacancies in either sublattice and that 0.16 is the upper bound of the fraction of trapped positrons. The usage of different enhancement factors had only little influence on the calculations whereas the general gradient approximation affected the contribution of Si orbitals, in particular. Additional measurements of the Doppler broadening based on the radioactive source (68)Ge, which emits high-energy positrons probing bulk regions of the sample, were carried out. These measurements show that beta precipitates are sparsely distributed in the Al matrix. positron, material http://prb.aps.org/abstract/PRB/v82/i5/e054113 10.1103/PhysRevB.82.054113 B.Klobes B.Korff O.Balarisi P.Eich M.Haaks K.Maier R.Sottong S.-M.Huehne W.Mader T.

Status Solidi: RRL 2008 2 <prt>4</prt> 182-184 <prt>We demonstrate the sensitivity of X-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) measurements to the earliest stages of decomposition in Al alloys, i.e. just a few minutes after quenching. XAFS is one of the few applicable experimental approaches to this regime. Three different AlCu(Mg) samples were investigated by XAFS at the Cu K edge. Significant changes of the XAFS can be detected in the course of the decomposition in these alloys during the first 15 minutes. Actually, these changes correspond to relaxations of the nearest neighbours towards the absorbing Cu atoms. The Fourier transformation of the XAFS spectra thus leads to a pseudo radial distribution function which reflects this relaxation. In addition, XAFS measurements of the S-phase of AlCuMg are used to decide in favour of the Perlitz and Westgren model for the S-phase. (c) 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co.

M.Staab E.Dudzik article Staab2008 Early precipitation stages of aluminum alloys - The role of quenched-in vacancies Appl. Surf. Sci. 2008 255 1 132-135 We present preliminary results on the structure of nano-sized particles (clusters of solute atoms or Guinier-Preston-Bagaryatsky (GPB) zones) in aluminum alloys. Hindering the motion of dislocations, these GPB zones (precipitates) are responsible for the strength of AlCuMg-alloys - used e.g. as AA2024 - for the outer shell plates in aircraft industry. We will discuss the role of quenched-in vacancies for the formation and growth of the precipitates. Using positron annihilation (Doppler broadening together with the recently developed tool of high-momentum analysis (HMA)) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements, we are able to characterize the local atomic environment in the vicinity of vacancies and selected elements (Cu) forming the precipitates. The interpretation will be based on a comparison to numerical calculations of positron lifetimes and momentum distributions as well as simulated X-ray absorption spectra. Often reliable numerical calculations of experimental quantities are possible only if relaxed atomic positions - calculated employing an ab-initio code like SIESTA - are used as input.

M.Staab M.Haaks H.Modrow article Haaks2008a High-momentum analysis in Doppler spectroscopy Appl. Surf. Sci. 2008 255 1 84-88 Unique information about the chemical vicinity of positron annihilation sites is provided by the contribution of high electron momenta to the Doppler spectrum, since this momentum range is characteristic for the annihilation with core electrons and hence element specific. However, the corresponding energy region in the spectrum is overlaid by a huge background caused by the annihilation radiation itself and the Compton spectrum of other gamma lines having an energy above 511 keV. Usually these backgrounds are reduced by measuring both annihilation quanta in coincidence. By mathematically analyzing the background contributions, we open another possibility to obtain the high-momentum region employing one single germanium detector. A necessary precondition is employing either background-free positron beams or a low-background positron source, e.g. Ge-68, instead of the widely used positron emitter Na-22. The Ge-68-source emits positrons with an endpoint energy of about 1.9 MeV, where as the contribution of gamma quanta having higher energies than the annihilation radiation at 511 keV is negligible low. When analyzing spectra from metals and semiconductors according to the described background subtraction, the same information contained in the momentum range up to 35 x 10(3)m(0)c or beyond can be extracted, as if the spectra were measured employing a coincidence setup with two Ge-detectors.

We present positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) as a non-destructive technique sensitive for defect concentrations in the range relevant to plasticity in metals. The Bonn Positron Microprobe (BPM), a currently unique device, provides a fine focused positron beam with a selectable beam diameter from 5 to 200 µm assisted by an inbuilt fully functional scanning electron microscope (SEM). Using the BPM, plasticity and fatigue can be measured with a lateral resolution from some microns up to the range of millimeters. Employing laterally resolved PAS and the empirical supposition of a linear relation between the defect concentration and the logarithm of the number of fatigue cycles, the point of failure was successfully predicted on the common carbon steel AISI 1045. For a generalization of the precursor method, a minimal model of fatigue based on a cellular automaton was developed. First results from a one-dimensional implementation are presented.

Recent results of defect imaging by SPM on plastically deformed and fatigued metals and semiconductors will be presented in this paper. A new method estimating the remaining useful life of fatigued components by employing the S-parameter as a precursor for failure will be introduced.

(RRL) 2008 2 5 224--226 The very early stages of decomposition during room temperature storage, i.e. just a few minutes after quenching, are investigated by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy for both an AlMgSi alloy and an AlCuMg alloy. It turns out that by freezing the decomposition kinetics during measurements we can detect vacancy–solute atom pairs. The formation of larger solute clusters with structural vacancies is seen by an increase of the mean positron lifetime in the course of storage at room temperature (RT). Earlier findings concerning aging at RT were unable to discover this effect. The detected changes are interpreted in terms of cluster formation. Thus we show that positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) is one of the very few methods to access early stages of decomposition in metallic alloys. Moreover, the lower limit of the concentration of quenched-in vacancy-like defects is calculated to be at least 2 × 10<sup>–5</sup> per atom. 61.43.Dq, 61.72.jd, 64.75.Op, 78.70.Bj positron, material http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pssr.200802123/abstract WILEY-VCH Verlag 1862-6270 10.1002/pssr.200802123 B.Klobes T.

These nano-clusters are formed during very early stages of aging AlCu alloys, immediately after solution heat treatment and quenching. X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra were taken from technical aluminum alloys at the copper K edge, revealing the local atomic environment of copper. The spectra of - after solution heat treatment - freshly quenched and of artificially aged alloys differ significantly from each other. We compare the measured XANES spectra with those calculated by the FEFF-8 code. We show the importance of employing realistic, i.e. relaxed, atomic coordinates around the scattering atom type from ab-initio calculations with SIESTA.

Status Solidi C 2007 4 10 4036--4039 Lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO) was employed as scintillator material in a positron lifetime (PALS) fast-slow spectrometer. Compared to the widely used BaF2 scintillator material, LSO has a single exponential decay with 40 ns, a high density of 7.49 g/cm3, an effective nuclear charge of 65.8 and a superb light output. With this features photon rates above 5 × 106 should be possible, which affords to obtain lifetime spectra within a period of minutes. The physical and mechanical properties make LSO attractive as scintillator material for PALS measurements. The capability of LSO for PALS was studied and compared to BaF2. As a first test of the spectrometer, a lifetime spectrum of well annealed nickel was measured and analyzed. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Status Solidi A 2006 203 4 R31--R33 Spatially resolved studies on plasticity in a polycrystalline sample of the ferritic carbon steel C45E (ATSI 1045) were performed after deformation in a three-point bending test. The local effects of deformation were investigated by scanning the sample with two different methods: Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (S-parameter) and Debye-Scherrer diffraction (reflex broadening). A simple relation between the results of both experiments and the true strain over the cross-section of the bent sample is presented in this letter. Comparing the methods a linear correlation between the lattice distortion of a-iron and the defect sensitive positron annihilation parameter is found. (c) 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

We find a correlation between a minimum of the measured positron lifetime and the maximum hardness. To explain these findings AlZn will be discussed as a well known example of positron interaction with different types of precipitations in aluminum. Additionally, we calculate positron annihilation parameters for pure Al, Si, Mg, and \mbox<prt>Mg</prt>_2\mbox<prt>Si</prt> finding support for our interpretation. For AA-6013 and AA-6061 the increase of the average positron lifetime after reaching the maximum hardness is attributed to the formation of semi-coherent precipitates. Hence, using positron annihilation it is possible to follow very sensitively the precipitation sequence even in technical aluminum alloys. Finally, we discuss which implications the aging may have on microstructural changes.

To construct a reliable Wöhler diagram, it is necessary to perform alternating load fatigue experiments on a huge number of equivalent samples for up to 108 or 109 load cycles. The lifetime under a specific applied load is then deduced from this diagram using statistical techniques. Physically, the reason for fatigue and finally fracture is the accumulation of lattice defects like dislocations, vacancies and vacancy clusters, which are produced even when the load is significantly below the material’s yield strength. The progress of fatigue can be observed from its earliest stages – after only a few load cycles – up to the final state of fracture by employing positrons as extremely sensitive lattice defect probes. In situ experiments can be performed to study test samples or real construction parts under realistic conditions. In steels a critical defect density is reached just before fatigue failure occurs. The point of failure can therefore be extrapolated from the early stages of fatigue by monitoring the defect density. Spatially resolved experiments performed on a simple carbon steel and employing the Bonn Positron Microprobe indicate significant variations in defect densities over the region under stress even after just a few load cycles. These inhomogenieties grow from a typical starting size of less than a millimeter to encompass the entire volume after further fatigue. With more experimental experience and a better theoretical understanding of this process, this new prediction method should lead to much simpler and more reliable predictions of the lifetimes of metallic materials in the near future. material http://www.springer.com/physics/complexity/book/978-3-540-28610-3 S.

Defect concentrations in metals of 10<sup>-6</sup> per Atom can be detected in the annihilation signal. The Bonn Positron Microprobe (BPM), developed at the Helmholtz Institute for Beam and Nuclear Physics, provides a fine focus positron beam for the spatially resolved detection of lattice defects in the micron range. The aim of the project was an imaging of the defect distribution in the shear zones and the forward deformation zone as well as the analysis of the influence of the cutting parameters on the damaging depth in the surface near layer. An empiric dependency between the S-Parameter and the hardening could be determined by analysing tensile tests. A distinct correlation between the S-Parameter and the Vickers-Hardness could also be found. A special sample geometry, which was developed in cooperation with the Institut für Fertigungstechnik und Werkzeugmaschinen (IFW) in Hannover, affords a 2-dimensional scanning of the defect density inside a chip root. This showed a direct influence of the depth of cut on the damage depth in the surface near layer, while no influence of the cutting speed at constant depth of cut was observed. One sample showed a softening in the scanning positron image, that was ascribed to temperature set free during cutting. material http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/3527605142 H. K.

Status Solidi A 2005 202 4 R38--R40 We present a novel method for analyzing the data from momentum distribution measurements employing positron annihilation, using just one single Ge-detector, but employing a mathematically sufficiently well suited model for background subtraction. For a variety of high purity metals the resulting momentum distributions have exactly the same shapes up to 35 x 10(-3) m(0)c, as those obtained with coincidence Doppler broadening of the annihilation radiation using a two-detector system. This data analysis applies to any positron source without high energy gammas or a slow positron beam system with just a single Ge-detector and enables the possibility of analysing the chemical surrounding at the positron trapping site without any additional hardware. In particular, in combination with a slow positron microbeam, it allows a spatially resolved measurement of the electron's momentum distribution.

Sci. 2004 39 23 6951--6956 Fatigue cracks have been generated in the commercial aluminium alloys AA2024 and AA6013 and analysed with a positron microprobe. This instrument provides laterally resolved positron annihilation measurements, which are sensitive to lattice defects like vacancies and dislocations. These commercial alloys have undergone a solution heat treatment and quenching prior to fatigue testing. Subsequently, they have been aged at room temperature and 190degreesC for AA2024 and AA6013, respectively. We performed the fatigue crack generation both in air and under the influence of a chemically aggressive environment (artificial seawater). Due to the corrosive environment hydrogen is probably produced at the fresh fractured surface in the vicinity of the crack tip. We discuss the possible implications of in-diffused hydrogen on the produced lattice defects, especially when there is a delayed migration of vacancies in the lattice, due to a reduced mobility.

Sci. Forum 2004 445-6 498-500 For the construction of heavy duty mechanical components it is essential to know the lifetime of the sample under dynamical load conditions. Material fatigue tests in rail vehicle axles were first made in the year 1858 by August Wohler [1]. Up to now the measurement of a Wohler diagram remains extraordinarily time and money consuming. Since iron based materials fail at a critical defect density independent of cycle number and load, we are able to extrapolate the remaining lifetime of the sample from a few cycles. With positron annihilation measurements employing the Bonn Positron Microprobe different stress states in standard samples can be observed as a function of position [2,3,4]. This leads to a novel non-destructive way to determine a complete Wohler diagram (SN-diagram) with just one sample. positron, material http://www.scientific.net/MSF.445-446.498 10.4028/www.scientific.net/MSF.445-446.498 I.Müller K.Bennewitz M.Haaks T.

Positron annihilation spectra have been recorded at various stages of material fatigue. The defect density has been determined by analysing the line shape of the Doppler broadening of the annihilation radiation in the photo peak. The line shape parameter (S parameter), a measure of the defect density, showed a linear relation to the logarithm of the number of loadings, thus from only a small number of loadings it is possible to determine the remaining useful life of the sample. Furthermore, along the longitudinal sample axis spatially resolved line-scans are taken using the Bonn Positron Microprobe. Due to the special sample geometry, the stress gradient allows to obtain the S parameter for different values of the applied load using the very same sample. This leads to a way to determine a complete Wohler diagram using a non-destructive method for just one sample. positron K.Bennewitz M.Haaks T.Staab S.Eisenberg T.Lampe K.Maier article Holzwarth2001 Positron annihilation studies on the migration of deformation induced vacancies in stainless steel AISI 316 L Appl. Phys. A: Mater. Sci. Process. 2001 73 4 467--475 Positron lifetime measurements were carried out at room temperature before and after isochronous annealing of cylindrical, machined fatigue specimens and of round slabs of austenitic stainless steel AISI 316 L deformed in compression. Annealing experiments are evaluated in terms of vacancy migration and sinking to grain boundaries and dislocations. The model assumes spherical grains with a homogeneous initial distribution of vacancies. A vacancy migration enthalpy of H-V(M) = (0.9 +/-0.15) eV was found. It is concluded that positron trapping at dislocation lines does not significantly contribute to positron lifetime measurements at room temperature and that single vacancies are the dominating positron traps. Positron annihilation depth profiling on cross-sectional areas prepared from machined specimens using a positron microprobe with 10 mum spatial resolution shows that machining of cylindrical specimens creates vacancies up to 5 mm below the surface. positron http://www.springerlink.com/content/ccl9fjychy51w7k3/ 10.1007/s003390100781 U.Holzwarth A.Barbieri S.Hansen-Ilzhöfer P.Schaaff M.Haaks mastersthesis bommas2000 Oberflächennahe Fehlstellen infolge plastischer Verformung 2000 1 material, positron https://agmaier.hiskp.uni-bonn.de/fileadmin/publications/2000_Diplom_Bommas.pdf Universität Bonn Diplomarbeit C.Bommas phdthesis maennig2000 Defektuntersuchungen in Festkörpern mit der Bonner Positronen-Mikrosonde 2000 positron, material https://agmaier.hiskp.uni-bonn.de/fileadmin/publications/2000_Doktor_Maennig.pdf Universität Bonn Dissertation U.Männig mastersthesis bennewitz1999 Trägerfreies <sup>22</sup>Na - Eine neue Quelle für die Positronenmikrosonde 1999 4 positron https://agmaier.hiskp.uni-bonn.de/fileadmin/publications/1999_Diplom_Bennewitz.pdf Universität Bonn Diplomarbeit K.Bennewitz phdthesis wider99 Der Einfluß von Versetzungen auf die Positronenzerstrahlung 1999 positron, material https://agmaier.hiskp.uni-bonn.de/fileadmin/publications/1999_Doktor_Wider.pdf Universität Bonn Dissertation T.Wider article Mannig1999 Defect production by the TEM beam - the first application of the positron microprobe Appl. Surf. Sci. 1999 149 1-4 217--220 In cooperation with the ZEISS/LEO GmbH a positron microprobe has been constructed. Additionally, a conventional scanning electron microscope (SEM) is integrated in the setup. Measurements on radiation defects in Mo and Cu samples, made by 1 MeV electron irradiation in a transmission electron microscope (TEM), are presented. The results coincide with the expected damage profiles. Because of the small beam diameter-the great advantage of the positron microprobe-only very small areas (about 20 to 30 mu m in diameter) have to be damaged. Therefore, the irradiation times required to produce samples for investigations of radiation defects caused by electrons are reduced enormously. This means that much higher defect concentrations can be produced in an acceptable time and the positron measurements can cover a wider range of defect concentrations. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
