Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy in nickel ferrite and iron oxide nanopowders
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 کاملLow-energy positron interactions with atoms and molecules
This paper is a review of low-energy positron interactions with atoms and molecules. Processes of interest include elastic scattering, electronic and vibrational excitation, ionization, positronium formation and annihilation. An overview is presented of the currently available theoretical and experimental techniques to study these phenomena, including the use of trap-based positron beam sources...
متن کاملg-ray spectra from positron annihilation on atoms and molecules
Positron annihilation on a wide variety of atoms and molecules is studied. Room-temperature positrons confined in a Penning trap are allowed to interact with molecules in the form of low-pressure gases so that the interaction is restricted to binary encounters between a positron and a molecule. Data are presented for the g-ray spectra resulting from positrons annihilating in such interactions. ...
متن کاملMechanisms of positron annihilation on molecules
The aim of this work is to identify the mechanisms responsible for very large rates and other peculiarities observed in low-energy positron annihilation on molecules. The two mechanisms considered are: (i) Direct annihilation of the incoming positron with one of the molecular electrons. This mechanism dominates for atoms and small molecules. I show that its contribution to the annihilation rate...
متن کاملEnhancement of positron annihilation on molecules due to vibrational Feshbach resonances
The zero-range potential model is used to investigate positron collisions and annihilation with molecules. The Kr2 dimer is considered as an example. It is shown that (i) although positrons do not bind to individual Kr atoms, they do form bound states with Kr2. (ii) A sequence of vibrationally excited states of the positron–molecule complex extends into the positron continuum, where it manifest...
