Neutron irradiated tungsten bulk defect characterization by positron annihilation spectroscopy

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2021
Positron annihilation spectroscopy was used to evaluate the defects in neutron irradiated tungsten exposed at five different irradiation conditions. The variables in neutron irradiation included temperature, displacements per atom (dpa), and neutron ...

Ultrathin Amphipathic Dual‐Polymer Networks: Unlocking Hyper‐Permeable CO2 Capture via Solvent‐Mediated Poly(Ethylene Oxide) Amorphization

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Hydrophilic PEO‐copolymers and hydrophobic PDMS are physically integrated via a compatibilizing solvent into an amphipathic dual‐polymer network with versatile interfacial affinity and completely amorphized PEO segments for hyper‐permeable CO2 transport.

Positron annihilation in liquid crystals

open access: yesNukleonika, 2015
Positron annihilation studies of liquid crystals are reviewed with particular reference to thermotropic liquid crystals with rod-like molecules. The studies of compounds exhibiting smectic A or smectic E phases indicate that local arrangement of dipole ...

Beyond Nanoporosity: A CO2‐Conditioned Glassy Matrix Contributes to the Brittle‐to‐Ductile Transition of Nanocellular Polyetherimide

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The mechanical performance of nanocellular polyetherimide cannot be explained by nanoporosity alone. It is shown that CO2 saturation and desorption leave a distinct mechanical signature in the glassy matrix before foaming. This matrix contribution provides a new route to understand and optimize the brittle to ductile transition in nanocellular polymers.

In-flight annihilation correction for 511 keV photon spectrometry

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Spectrometry based on the 511 keV annihilation photopeak requires the positron source to be surrounded by a suitable absorber material. While this method is well established in the literature, correction for in-flight annihilation losses from the 511 keV

Ion Concentration and Voltage Imaging With Fluorescent Nanodiamonds

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate reversible switching between the fluorescent NV0 and the dark NV+ state, in sub‐30 nm FNDs via surface oxidation and hydrogenation, respectively. In an electrochemical cell, we show that the fluorescence from hydrogenated particles enables all‐optical imaging of voltages and ion concentrations at the micrometer scale.

Positronium Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy Study of SBA-15 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Positronium annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) is a technique used in the characterization of porosity in nanostructured materials. Positrons, the antiparticle to the electron, enter a sample and either immediately annihilate with an electron or ...

Calculation of Low-Energy Positron-Atom Scattering with Square-Integrable Wavefunctions

open access: yesAtoms, 2022
The variational method is applied to the low-energy positron scattering and annihilation problem. The ultimate aim of the investigation is to find a computationally economical way of accounting for strong electron–positron correlations, including the ...
