Using electrical resistivity measurements the recovery in stage I of electron irradiated Pt has been studied. The influences which exert a large variation of irradiation dose, electron energy, radiation doping and doping with dilute concentrations of Au-atoms on the annealing structure were investigated. The recovery in substages IA, IBand ICis not influenced by irradiation dose and doping agents in agreement with the model of close Frenkel-pair recombination in these stages. Substage IEis strongly and substage IDis moderately modified by variation of radiation dose and the addition of doping agents. This and the equal values of the activation energies measured in substage IDand IEconfirm the model of correlated and uncorrelated recovery of free migrating interstitials in these stages.
