Graphene oxide (GO) is conveniently prepared from expandable graphite using a simplified Hummers’ method. The product is thoroughly characterized by usual techniques (UV-vis, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopies, zeta potential, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption) to confirm the success of synthesis. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) is then used to extract information on the microenvironment in between the layers of graphene oxide.

The oxidized Mo-50Re alloys in air at 573 K and 873 K for various times were investigated by X-Ray diffraction and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy. The results indicated that main orthogonal phase MoO3 together with small amount of monoclinic phase Mo8O23 were formed on on the surface of the specimens, and the oxide film of specimens oxidized at 873 K were much thicker than that of specimens oxidized at 573 K. Meanwhile, when Mo-50Re specimens oxidized in air at 873K, the defect’s size within interface layer of the specimens was larger, and the oxide film on the surface of the specimens contained much more defects. Faster oxidation process were observed occured at 873K, which was likely due to the formation of larger-size interfacial defects.

AbstractZn-exchanged natural clinoptilolite was studied by powder X-ray diffraction and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy. The original clinoptilolite tuff was subjected to size fractionation by sedimentation and dissolution of cristobalite (opal-C). After Zn2+-exchange the purified clinoptilolite sample contained 2.2 Zn2+ ions per unit cell. Structural details obtained by Rietveld refinement showed that the Zn2+ cations are located in three sites (Zn1, Zn2 and Zn3) in the channels of the clinoptilolite. Site Zn1 is located in the centre of channel-A (Mg2+-M4 site). Site Zn2 is in channel-B, next to the calcium M2 position. A new Zn3 site is located in channel-A, in imminent proximity to Zn1. Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS) was employed to assess the Zn exchange. As the cation content influences the free volume of the channels, the ionexchange process can be monitored by PALS. The results suggest the existence of two sizes of cavities, in accordance with the structural refinement.
