Set Up

A new type of a positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) system has been set up at the superconducting electron accelerator ELBE [ at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. In contrast to existing source-based PALS systems, the approach described here makes use of an intense photon beam from electron bremsstrahlung which converts through pair production into positrons inside the sample under study. The article focusses on the production of intense bremsstrahlung using a superconducting electron linear accelerator, the production of positrons inside the sample under study, the efficient detector setup which allows for annihilation lifetime and Doppler-broadening spectroscopy simultaneously. Selected examples of positron annihilation spectroscopy are presented.

Metal Charge Transfer

Positron annihilation lifetime (PALS) and photoluminescence spectroscopies measurements were performed in Tb(III) and Eu(III) dipivaloylmethanates, Tb(dpm)3and Eu(dpm)3, and also on their binary solid solutions of general formula Tb1-xEux(dpm)3. A correlation between the5D4Tb(III) energy level lifetime and the positronium formation probability was observed, indicating that the ligand-to-metal charge transfer LMCT states act in both luminescence quenching and positronium formation inhibition. From these results, a new model is proposed, showing that excited electronic states have a relevant role in the positronium formation mechanism.

Trapping Process

Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy combined with Doppler broadening of annihilation radiation was applied to study free-volume entities in GeS2-Ga2S3glasses affected by Ga additions. It is shown that Ga-related void sub-system plays a decisive role in positron trapping process, while the overall density variation is defined mainly by Ge-related sub-system. These results serve as basis for new characterization route for inner free-volume structure of these glasses.

Variable Energy

A series of dense copolyimide membranes was characterized using positron annihilation spectroscopy. The positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy performed on film with a classical positron source gives informations on the positronium fraction formed and also on the hole size within the film. The Doppler broadening spectra (DBS) of the gamma annihilation rays coupled with a variable energy positron beam allow the microstructural analyses as a function of the film depth. Experimental data were also linked to the chemical structure of the polyimides. It was found that the presence of the fluorine atoms strongly affects the positron annihilitation process and especially the DBS responses.

Positron Annihilation Lifetime

AbstractPositron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) has been used to determine the free volume in multiblock polyamide-6/poly-(isoprene) copolymers (PA-6/PI), synthesized via activated anionic bulk copolymerization. The diisocyanate functionalized telechelic PI, blocked with caprolactam (CL) has been used as a commoner and an activator at the same time. The elastic PI block incorporated into the main chain of PA-6 affects the amorphous and crystal phase of the copolymer leading to changing in degree of crystallinity. The positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PAL) and Doppler broadening of annihilation line (DBAL) technique in a set of pure PA-6 and PA-6/PI copolymers with two different compositions have been applied and evaluation of the size of free-volume holes (pores), localized mainly in the disordered regions of the PA-6/PI copolymer by measuring the o-Ps lifetime (τ3) and o-Ps intensity (I3) has been performed.
