†5 The changes in relative resistivity versus temperature for Ag, Au, and Cu wires plastically deformed at liquid-air temperatures are plotted, and all are found to show two recovery regions. The two steps in recovery are interpreted in terms of activation energies (Q1 = 0.18 eV, and Q2 = 0.65 eV) for a jump of a vacant lattice site.
