Abstract
The influence of plastic deformation (O<ε <10%) on the MHz-ultrasonic attenuation α in single crystals of pure Cu, Cu50ppmAu and Cu130ppmAu has been measured over the temperature range 4<T<300K. The major contributions to the total attenuation originate from dislocation resonance, double-kink relaxation, phonon-electron interaction (at T<50K) and non-dislocation effects which are discussed especially with respect to the separation of dislocation resonance and dislocation relaxation contributions. For the activation quantities of Bordini relaxation we obtain [MATH] = 0.105 ± 0.005 eV, τ = (1.2 ± 0.4) x 10-12s.
