Zero-field muon spin relaxation experiments were carried out for Al-1.6%Mg2Si and a pure aluminum in isothermal conditions between 260 and 300 K. Observed relaxation spectra were analyzed to extract the dipole width (D) values which were found to decrease with time after solution heat treatment and quenching. Time variations of D appeared to take place two stages in both samples. The stage transition times (tII) deduced for Al-1.6%Mg2Si were comparable to those for the Si-rich clustering stage reported for Al-Mg-Si alloys. The estimated activation energy of Si-rich clustering was 0.62 (±0.04) eV. The stage transition times (tM) for the pure aluminum were 255, 110 and 82 min after quenching at the measuring temperatures of 260, 280 and 300 K, respectively. An Arrhenius plot of logarithmic tM against reciprocal temperature resulted in an activation energy of 0.19 (±0.06) eV.

Abstract Zero-field muon spin relaxation experiments were carried out with Al-1.6%Mg2Si, Al-0.5%Mg, and Al-0.5%Si alloys. Observed relaxation spectra were compared with the calculated relaxation functions based on the Monte Carlo simulation to extract the dipolar width (Δ), trapping (νt), and detrapping rates (νd), with the initially trapped muon fraction (P0). The fitting analysis has elucidated that the muon trapping rates depended on the heat treatment and solute concentrations. The dissolved Mg in Al dominated the νt at lower temperatures below 120 K, therefore the similar temperature variations of νt were observed with the samples mixed with Mg. The νt around 200 K remarkably reflected the heat treatment effect on the samples, and the largest νt value was found with the sample annealed at 100°C among Al-1.6%Mg2Si alloys. The as-quenched Al-0.5%Si sample showed significant νt values between 80 and 280 K relating with Si-vacancy clusters, but such clusters disappeared with the natural aged Al-0.5%Si sample.
