Abstract
Stage I recovery (14-65°K) of electron-irradiated, high-purity copper is shown to be composed of at least five substages: , 14-24°K; , 24-28.5°K; , 28.5-33°K; , 33-48°K and , 48-65°K. , , and recovery are discussed in further detail. (Discussion of and recovery is deferred to the following paper.) and are shown to have the characteristics of close-pair recovery. It is inferred that also has these characteristics. The values of the activation energy for recovery are ev, ev, and ev. An attempt to relate the observed close-pair spectrum to specific interstitial-vacancy configurations is described.
