Grain growth of n-PdZr alloys is expected to be reduced by segregation of Zr in the grain boundaries. Positron annihilation spectroscopy was employed to study this effect and the temperature dependence of the interface structure, showing a decrease of the fraction of nanovoids, the size of 10 to 15 missing atoms, upon isochronal annealing up to 1100 K.
Temperature dependent studies after annealing at 1100 K show a reversible increase of the mean positron lifetime with temperature due to a reversible change of the positron trapping behavior at interfacial free volumes. The variation of the interfacial composition with temperature is investigated.
