First image from a positron reemission microscope.

چکیده
We report in this note that we have taken the first images (one of which is shown below) using a Positron Reemission Microscope (PRM) i.e., a microscope based on the imaging of positrons (e+) reemitted with a few eV energy from a target. Some of the contrasts which appear in the PRM are totally different from the recently demonstrated Transmission Positron Microscope' and also from those present in any version of an electron microscope. See reference 1 for a discussion of, and references to, positron microscopy.

Submicron-resolution study of a thin Ni crystal using a brightness-enhanced positron reemission microscope.
A 1500-A Ni(100) film is back illuminated with 5-keV positrons from a brightness-enhanced slow positron beam. Some of the positrons diff'use through the film and are emitted from the front surface by virtue of the Ni having a negative positron affinity. An immersion objective and projector lens form a 1150x image of the reemitted positrons at a 2D position-sensitive detector. With a resolution ...
متن کاملPositron Facilities in Europe
Positron annihilation is a well established method in solid state physics and material science. The positron being a very sensitive probe, can give very precise information on the momentum distribution of electrons in metals and alloys as well as on lattice defects in crystals. Starting with the energy distribution of positrons from a radioactive decay, the current development is directed more ...
متن کاملDirect observation of electron capture and reemission by the divacancy via charge transient positron spectroscopy.
Electron capture during forward bias and reemission at zero bias by divacancies in the depletion region of a silicon diode structure at room temperature have been studied for the first time using monoenergetic positrons. The positron response increases essentially linearly with electron current, as a result of increased positron trapping by negatively charged divacancies. The measurements indic...
متن کاملCalculation of Positron Distribution in the Presence of a Uniform Magnetic Field for the Improvement of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging Using GEANT4 Toolkit
Introduction Range and diffusion of positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals are important parameters for image resolution in positron emission tomography (PET). In this study, GEANT4 toolkit was applied to study positron diffusion in soft tissues with and without a magnetic field for six commonly used isotopes in PET imaging including 11C, 13N, 15O, 18F, 68Ga, and 82Rb. Materials and Methods GEA...
