Blob Model

Positron annihilation lifetime measurements on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) at low temperature were performed. Different discrete fitting procedures have been used to analyze the experimental data. It shows that the extracted parameters depend strongly on the fitting procedure. The physical meaning of the results is discussed. The blob model seems to give the best annihilation parameters.

AbstractLifetime measurement in Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (PAS) is applied to the study of free-volume collagen characteristics as a function of concentration. The lifetimes of positrons were obtained by a conventional fast-fast coincidence system. All lifetime data are fitted in three components by using the computer program POSITRON FIT and resolved. For each concentration, lifetime distributions were analyzed in order to obtain the different components, thus we have observed three components of which a long component τ3. This long lived component can be associated with a pick-off annihilation of ortho-positronium (o-Ps) trapped in free volumes of amorphous region. This investigation shows the potential of the positron annihilation spectroscopy technique in the study of biopolymer microstructures.

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.

The oxide dispersed strengthened (ODS) ferritic-martensitic steel was irradiated by 100MeV iron ion whose energy was degraded by using a Ta foil of 4 μm thick, 100 keV Hydrogen and 200 keV Helium at 480, 515, 550 and 580 °C. The irradiation fluences were 1×1016, 1.1×1015 and 6.8×1013/cm2, respectively for Fe, H and He. The techniques of positron annihilation lifetime and Doppler broadening of slow positron beam were utilized to examine the produced radiation damage. At 550 °C the maximal positron annihilation lifetime and S parameter of Doppler broadening were observed, implyin g tha t 550 °C is the pea k temperature of swelling. The S parameter and annihilation lifetime of the sample irradiated at 515 °C by the single Fe ion beam were smaller compared to the triple beam irradiation at the same temperature, implying that the triple beam irradiation caused more severe damage than the single beam irradiation.

Positron Annihilation Lifetime

Positron annihilation lifetime spectra (PLAS) have been measured for natural rubber polymer with different fillers (Titenium dioxide, Nanosilica and Nanoclay) as a function of filler concentration to investigate how these fillers affect the microstructure of free volume of natural rubber. The lifetime spectra is analyzed by using LT9.0 and the longest lived component(τo-Ps) is attributed to the pick- off annihilation of o-Ps in free volume sites, available mostly in the amorphous region of polymer. On the basis of the τo-Ps values the radii of the free volume holes (Rh) are calculated. The PALS results show that o-Ps lifetime as well as the size of free volume decreases with the increase of filler concentration.
