RADIATION-INDUCED EFFECTS AND DEFECTS IN TI -GE ALLOYS

In this paper we discuss a possibility of using positron spectroscopy method to investigate structural defects in titanium-germanium system. Defects are created by charged particles irradiation. Positrons find themselves sensitive to the radiation defects as a consequence of influence of the latter on the metals electron structure. With the knowledge of positrons behavior and by change of annihilation parameters, one can trace and predict an evolution of structural damages. This information is very important from both perspectives of fundamental problems of radiation defects formation and their accumulation, and development of recommendations for practical use.
