چکیده
The modelling of ortho-positronium annihilation processes in nanoporous humidity-sensitive ceramics were performed using the Tao-Eldrup model. It is shown that this model is adequate for modelling “pick-off” annihilation processes in ceramic materials for sensors applications and calculation of the size of their nanopores.

Water-Vapor Sorption Processes in Nanoporous MgO-Al2O3 Ceramics: the PAL Spectroscopy Study.
The water-vapor sorption processes in nanoporous MgO-Al2O3 ceramics are studied with positron annihilation lifetime (PAL) spectroscopy employing positron trapping and positronium (Ps)-decaying modes. It is demonstrated that the longest-lived components in the four-term reconstructed PAL spectra with characteristic lifetimes near 2 and 60-70 ns can be, respectively, attributed to ortho-positroni...

In this study, a positron annihilation lifetime spectrometer was set up and its resolution was optimized. The spectrometer is a fast-slow arrangement with time resolution of 250 ps. To obtain lifetime components and their intensities from analyzing positron annihilation lifetime spectrum, the Pascual software is used. Positrons are from a source of radioactive 22NaCl with 20 μCi activity enclos...
متن کاملSolution of Orthopositronium lifetime Puzzle
The intrinsic decay rate of orthopositronium formed in SiO2 powder is measured using the direct 2γ correction method such that the time dependence of the pick-off annihilation rate is precisely determined. The decay rate of orthopositronium is found to be 7.0396 ± 0.0012(stat.) ± 0.0011(sys.)μs, which is consistent with our previous measurements with about twice the accuracy. Results agree well...

متن کاملMeasurement of Orthopositronium Decay Rate Using SiO2 Powder: Integration of Thermalization into Time Spectrum Fitting Procedure
The intrinsic decay rate of orthopositronium (o-Ps) formed in SiO2 powder was measured using a modified method which determined the time dependence of the pick-off annihilation rate using high-energyresolution germanium detectors. That is, the main systematic error due to thermalization was accounted for and integrated into the time spectrum fitting procedure. The averaged value was found to be...
