INTERNAL FRICTION STUDIES OF THE OXYGEN SNOEK RELAXATION IN GROUP-Va TRANSITION METALS
Résumé
Snoek peaks of O (or N) i n Va metals exhibit extraordinary broadening at higher O (N) contents. Detailed internal friction measurements on ultrapure Nb-0.7% O confirm that this broadening is symmetric and corresponds to a continuous distribution of relaxation times, which is attributed to a long range repulsive interaction of O atoms ("anticlustering"). The results disagree with the predictions of Powers' and Doyle's clustering model . Addition of small amounts of N causes additional asymmetric broadening of the O Snoek peak on its high temperature side.
