Trans-Rp-Effect

A surprising phenomenon of impurity gettering away from RP, namely in regions significantly deeper than RP and formation of a separate Cu gettering band therein. We call this phenomenon the "Trans-RP Effect" (Figure). The size of the defects present in this layer is, as in the case of RP/2 Effect, below the resolution limit of TEM. We suggest that they are small interstitial clusters [5].
