Abstract
Several methods to reliably determine equilibrium vacancy concentrations in metals are discussed, namely: (1) Observations of the relaxation in specific heat caused by the vacancy equilibration. (2) Determinations of the high-temperature enthalpy of metals under various heating rates. (3) Observations of the initial cooling curve after a sample was rapidly heated up to a premelting temperature. (4) Measurements of specific heat under high pressures.
