Abstract: Positron annihilation measurements have been performed in solid, liquid and undercooled Co[sub 800oPd[sub 20] alloy using electromagnetic levitation as containerless processing method. The formation enthalpy for a single vacancy is H[sub 1v] = (1.7 ± 0.1) eV. In the melt, the thermal expansion continues linear in the undercooled phase and is larger than that of the solid alloy. The mean free volume in the liquid phase is slightly larger than the volume of a single vacancy. At the Curie temperatures of both solid and liquid phase, the S-parameter indicates no effect on the atomic structure. Different H[sub 2] concentrations in the processing gas atmosphere have no detectable influence on the data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
