Abstract
The Zener relaxation was studied in Cu-Al single crystals. All samples were cut with the same orientation and the Al concentrations were ranged between 3 and 19 at. % Al ( solid solution). For low temperature experiments ( < 550°K ), perfect Debye peaks are observed in all samples and the relaxation strength is proportional to the concentration square according with the pair reorientation Zener theory. At higher temperatures and for samples with higher Al concentration only, the internal friction peaks are broader. In the sarne time, the relaxation strength first increases and then decreases with the measurement temperature according to the short-range ordering LeClaire-Lomer theory with respectively the influence of only neighbouring and more distant atoms.

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

• If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
• You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
• You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
