Abstract
The frequency dependence (10 to 200 MHz) of the sound velocity and of the ultrasonic attenuation α has been measured on high purity Cu during 3 MeV γ-irradiation at room temperature. The results are evaluated with respect to dislocation effects which under the present conditions cause the major contributions to the frequency dependent reduction of sound velocity ƊvD/vo and attenuationαD. The γ-dose dependence of ƊvD/vo and αD is in complete accordance with the Granato-Lücke theory of dislocation resonance damping. It is shown that simultaneous measurements of ƊvD/vo and αD strongly improve the accuracy of MHz-investigations of dislocation damping effects.
