Abstract
Increases in the electrical resistivity of gold wires due to quenching have been measured and interpreted in terms of vacancies. The energy for vacancy formation was deduced to be 0·95 ev and the concentration of vacancies at the melting point 6×10−4. Annealing measurements between 70° and 130°c indicated that the movement energy of a vacancy was 0·68 ev and that it had on average a life of 108-109 jumps.Keywords
