Abstract

A short overview will be given on the thermodynamics of the formation of thermal defects in intermetallic aluminides. We focus on thermal vacancies studied by the specific techniques of positron annihilation and time-differential dilatometry and discuss the results together with self-diffusion data. We then demonstrate that these techniques can be employed for studying vacancies in compound semiconductors specifically. Furthermore, structural order-disorder phase transitions can be investigated from an atomistic point of view by making use of positron annihilation as shown in the exemplary case of decagonal Al-Ni-Co quasicrystals.
