Positron-Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy using Electron Bremsstrahlung [PDF]
A new type of an intense source of positrons for materials research has been set up at the superconducting electron linear. The source employs hard X-rays from electron- bremsstrahlung production generating energetic electron-positron pairs inside the sample under investigation. CW-operation allows performing experiments with significantly reduced pile-

Single-shot positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy using a liquid scintillator [PDF]
Liquid scintillators provide a fast, single component response. However, they traditionally have a low flashpoint and high vapor pressure. We demonstrate the use of an EJ-309 scintillator (high flashpoint and low vapor pressure variant) to acquire single-

Ultrashort, MeV-scale laser-plasma positron source for positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy [PDF]
Submicron defects represent a well-known fundamental problem in manufacturing since they can significantly affect performance and lifetime of virtually any high-value component. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy is arguably the only established

Positron Lifetime Spectroscopy of Nanocrystalline Copper [PDF]
Positron lifetime spectroscopy was applied to investigate the thermal stability of nanocrystalline copper prepared by severe plastic torsion deformation. Positrons annihilating in as prepared specimens exhibited free positron component τ1 and two defect components r2 = 164 ps and r3 = 255 ps.

Au/GaAs interface annealing study by positron-lifetime spectroscopy [PDF]
Structural changes of annealed Au contacts on semi-insulating GaAs have been observed by conventional positron lifetime-spectroscopy in which a significant fraction of positrons are drifted from a $^{22}\mathrm{Na}$ source to the contact by an electric field. For annealing temperatures below 200 \ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}C it is found that the

Sintering of CuO investigated by positron lifetime spectroscopy
The sintering process of CuO under isochronal annealing has been investigated by positron lifetime spectroscopy. A long-lived component of 370±20 psec, observed in as-pressed samples and samples annealed at T≤900 K, has been attributed to continuous channels along three-grain junctions.
