摘要:Positron lifetime studies were performed for PTC material BaTiO3 doped with Nb5+ or Y3+.It was found that positron lifetime of BaTiO3 was sensitive to the changes of the valence state of impurities and the amount of impurities.The lifetime of positrons trapped in Ba2+ vacancy is estimated at 320ps.
摘要:The characteristics of positronium,a kind of exotic atoms,and the applicability of using it to probe the reaction mechanism and the active intermediates are briefly introduced.A synthesis reaction of catalyst Rh(I)from reducing Rh(III)by ethylene is chosen for testing this applicability.Based on the abnormal changes of positronium lifetime and intensity with the reaction time,the formation of intermediate Rh(II)and the reaction mechanism are discussed.

摘要:Measurements of positron lifetime spectra have been performed for binary Ni3Al,Ni-22.33Al-1.37B,Ni-19.6Al-14.8Fe-0.17Zr and Ni-19.6Al-14.8Fe-0.26Hf alloys.Added to Ni3Al alloy,the B atoms have a strong tendency to segregate at grain boundaries and make the density of valence electrons in grain boundaies similar to that in bulk.Theτ2 values for both Ni-19.6Al-14.8Fe-0.17Zr and Ni-19.6Al-14.8Fe-0.26Hf alloys are smaller than that of binary Ni3Al,which indicates that the addition of metal elements such as Zr(or Had and Fe to Ni3Al alloy can increase the fraction of metallic bonds and density of free electrons participating in metallic bonds in grain boundaries and thus improve the structure of grainboundaries.
摘要:Positron lifetimes have been measured for 68wt% Cu-Zn brass containing 0.00.0.01, 0.03,0.05,0.07 and 0.10 wt% As respectively after dezincification in 1%, CuCl2aqueous solution.The vacancy mechanism of the brass dezincification and the inhibition of brass dezincification by arsenic have been discussed.
摘要:Positron lifetime spectra have been measured for monodirectional crystal,as-cast polycrystal and hot-rolled polycrystal of Ni-20Al-30Fe alloys.τ2 values for these samples are similar,indicating that lifetime of the positron annihilated in grain boundary is similar to that in a vacancy or a dislocation,and density of free electrons in grain boundaries is nearly equal to that in vacancies.It is concluded that the structure of grain boundaries in NiAl alloy can be improved by alloying with Fe.

摘要:The recovery behavior of quenched-in or radiation-induced defects in the intermetallic compound NiAl has been studied by positron annihilation techniques.Two distinct recovery stages in NiAl samples quenched from temperature above 950℃ were found by Doppler broadening measurements;one at around 280℃and the other at around 500℃.The molecular dynamics was then further used to simulate mono-vacancies and divacancies in the NiAl of stoichiometric composition with"embedded atom method"(EAM) potentials. The vacancy ingration energies for three different mechanisms were calculated. The calculations indicated that the energetically favorable mechanism for vacancy migration was six-jump vacancy cycle.A comparison with the experiments showed that Al vacancies annealed out at the~280℃recovery stage while Ni vacancies at the~500℃ stage, and the vast majority of diffusion events in the ordered NiAl alloy were mainly attributed to the motion of vacancies.
摘要:Variation of S-parameter with the strain [S(ε)curves] under the strain rate of 5×10 5/s in high purity iron was investigated by Doppler broadening measurements combined with slow tensile tests. In order to estimate dislocation density pd and vacancy concentration Cv,the deformed samples were annealed at o00K for 10h to eliminate the effect of vacancies induced by the strain and to retain the strain induced dislocations.A calculation based on the trapping model gave the dislocation density ρd on the order of 109-1011cm2 and the vacancy concentration Cv.on the order of 1017-1019cm3.both of which were increased with the strain.
摘要:The positron annihilation characteristics of vacancies in iron in different phases have been calculated by using the discrete variational method and embedded-cluster model based on the first-principle and two-component density-functional theory.The effect of lattice-expansion and lattice-relaxation on the positron annihilation characteristics is discussed.
摘要:Hydrogen induced defects in annealed and plastically deformed pure aluminium have been studied mainly by the positron lifetime method and the transmission electron microscopy.It is revealed that the hydrogen charging can introduce blisters and dislocations in aluminium specimens.Inclusion particles in the specimens act as the nucleation sites of hydrogen induced defects. The effect of protons to shield defects from positron has been proved by the experimental results.
摘要:The positron lifetime spectra have been measured as a function of exposed air pressure for synthetic zeolite 13X and 3A,and as a function of calcination temperature for zeolite 10X.It is found that the adsorbed gases have a strong effect on positron annihilation.Moreover,the positron annihilation parameters varysignificantly with the amount of water existing in the zeolite cages. With the dehydration the free volume inside cages bacame larger, and when dehydrated to a certain degree,Bronsted acid, as the active center,begin to appear.

摘要:The defect behavior of semi-insulating(SI) GaAs samples has been measured by the positron lifetime spectrometer at different isochronal annealing temperatures before and after neutron irradiation. It is found that vacancy-interstitial pairs and vacancy-antisite defects begin to recombine at 70℃,and vacancies and voids will disappear before 500℃, but new defects may reproduce after 740℃. The positron binding energy of shallow traps(VAs)is estimated to be 0.031-0.032eV.

摘要:The positron annihilation and perturbed angular correlation methods have been used to study the radiation damage and its thermal annealing behavior in the single crystal Si irradiated with fast neutrons of 1.45 ×1020/cm2 and 3.10×1017/cm2 and with 178W heavy ions of 5×1011/cm2,respectively.The measured positron lifetimes and quadrupole interaction frequencies show the existence of the monovacancysubstitutional oxygen complexes in the irradiated single crystal silicon.In silicon samples irradiated with 1.45×1020/cm2 neutron and heavy ions the combination of di-vacancies into quadri-vacancies has been observed by both methods.

摘要:Positroniums can be formed and emitted to vacuum from an interaction of low energy positrons with the surface of metal or semiconductors. To reduce the large experimental error encountered in the peak method or the peak-valley method a direct measurement method of positronium fraction using the time-of-flight spectroscopy is proposed. The defects near Si(100)surface induced by Ar+ sputtering and their annealing behavior have been studied with this method.
