Abstract
Attenuation due to the scattering of ultrasound by micropores has been measured in Mn, S and Be doped copper single crystals grown by the Czochralski- and Bridgeman-techniques. After suppression of dislocation damping by γ-irradiation the attenuation αp due to pore scattering has been determined quantitatively in the frequency range 10 to 300 MHz. By fitting the theoretical αp(f)-dependence for spherical holes to the measured αp(f)-data we obtain the porosity P and the mean pore-diameter dp.
