Application of Coincidence Doppler Broadening Spectroscopy to Hydrocarbons at Different Substance States

چکیده
Coincidence Doppler broadening spectroscopy was applied to study n-hexane (C6H14), cyclohexane (C6H12) and cyclohexanone (C6H10O), at solid, as well as liquid states. The experiments were performed in parallel with traditional positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy. Significant positron trapping by oxygen was observed in cyclohexanone; the oxygen effect is stronger in liquid state than in solid one, which can possibly be attributed to positron solvation in polar solution. Coincidence Doppler broadening results for n-hexane and cyclohexane indicate an existence of higher energetic annihilation electrons in Ps-bubble forming liquids than that in solids.

Deconvolution of positron annihilation coincidence Doppler broadening spectra using an iterative projected Newton method with non-negativity constraints
A generalized least-square method with Tikonov–Miller regularization and non-negativity constraints has been developed for deconvoluting two-dimensional coincidence Doppler broadening spectroscopy ͑CDBS͒ spectra. A projected Newton algorithm is employed to solve the generalized least-square problem. The algorithm has been tested on Monte Carlo generated spectra to find the best regularization par...
متن کاملPositron annihilation spectroscopy is a sensitive probe for studying defects in solids
Positron annihilation spectroscopy is a sensitive probe for studying the electronic structure of defects in solids. The high-momentum part of the Doppler-broadened spectra can be used to distinguish different elements at the annihilation site. This can be achieved by using a twodetector coincidence system, which reduces the peak to background ratio dramatically. The coincident events have to be...

The cooling of molecules during the adiabatic expansion of supersonic seeded molecular beams is reviewed and illustrated by the example of NO -molecules. The reduction of the Doppler width by collimation of the beam and the cooling to low rotational temperatures brings a significant simplification of the complex NO -absorption spectrum and allows its assignment. The measured rotational tem...
متن کاملTheoretical and experimental study of positron annihilation with core electrons in solids.
A theory for calculating the momentum distribution of annihilating positron-electron pairs in solids is presented. To test the theory, momentum distributions are measured by the Doppler broadening of the annihilation radiation for several bulk metals and semiconductors, as well as for semiconductor alloys and for positrons trapped at vacancies in semiconductors. The theory is based on a two-par...
