High purity iron was irradiated at low temperatures with neutrons to various doses. Magnetic after‐effects due to radiation induced defects were investigated in careful annealing experiments from 4.5 to 300 °K. A number of pronounced orientation after‐effects with complex annealing behaviour were found. All relaxation amplitudes were roughly proportional to the dose. The after‐effects disappeared on annealing between 130 and 270 °K. A comparison with other experiments indicates that an annealing stage of the electrical resistivity or the stored energy may correspond to the annealing of several magnetic after‐effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
