正电子慢化体的研究和进展

正电子湮没技术是一种研究材料的微观缺陷和相变的灵敏工具,在通常的正电子谱仪中,正电子能量为MeV量级,在样品中注入深度比较学（－100μm）,主要研究材料体内的平均缺陷密度,慢正电子束方法把正电子的能量降低为keV量级（而且可以调节）,注入比较浅（－μm）,所以是研究表面缺陷的探测手段,正电子慢化体是产生慢正电子的关键设备,对其研究有重要意义,文章综述了慢化体研究的历史和现状,从物理概念出发介绍使正电子慢化的四种可能方法和当今慢化体的五种几何排列方法,其中应用最广泛的是钨慢化体和百叶窗式的排列方式,效率最高的是惰性气体固体慢化体,而加电场慢化体是有待开发的高效慢化体。

质子辐照铝膜反射镜的慢正电子湮没研究

采用分光光度计测定了60keV质子辐照后铝膜反射镜反射光谱的变化规律.用慢正电子湮没等分析技术研究了辐照损伤的微观机制.结果表明,当质子辐照主要作用于反射镜铝膜层中时反射镜在200—800nm波长范围内反射率随辐照剂量增加而下降.入射质子可对铝膜中的缺陷产生填充作用,减小铝膜中电子密度,增加弱束缚电子带间跃迁.紫外至可见光能量较高的波段可引起带间激发跃迁,使相应的谱段反射率下降,导致反射镜光学性能的退化.关键词：反射镜光学性能质子辐照慢正电子湮没     

Positron annihilation studies of mesoporous silica films using a slow positron beam

Positron annihilation lifetime spectra were measured for mesoporous silica films, which were synthesized using triblock copolymer (EO₁₀₆PO₇₀EO₁₀₆) as a structure-directing agent. Different positron lifetime spectra for the deposited and calcined films indicated the formation of meso-structure after calcination, which was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) observation. Open porosity or pore interconnectivity of a silica film might be evaluated by a two-dimensional positron annihilation lifetime spectrum of an uncapped film. Pore sizes and their distributions in the silica films were found to be affected by thermal treatments.     

锆离子注入锆-4合金缺陷的慢正电子研究

采用慢正电子束多普勒展宽谱研究了Zr离子注入Zr-4合金产生的缺陷及其退火回复行为,发现经过大于离子注入剂量为1×10¹⁶cm^-2的样品所产生的缺陷在注入过程中已经回复,而对剂量为1×10¹⁵cm^-2样品做300℃退火处理,其缺陷基本回复,得出合金缺陷回复能较低的结论. 考虑到材料的缺陷含量越高,其抗腐蚀性能越差,在辐照环境下通过给材料保持一定温度,即可使其缺陷得到较好回复,从而提高材料的抗腐蚀性能.

Slow positron beam study of corrosion-related defects in pure iron

Corrosion-related defects of pure iron were investigated by measuring Doppler broadening energy spectra (DBES) of positron annihilation and positron annihilation lifetime (PAL). Defect profiles of the S-parameter from DBES as a function of positron incident energy up to 30 keV (i.e. ∼1 μm depth) were analyzed. The DBES data show that S-parameter increases as a function of positron incident energy (mean depth) after corrosion, and the increase in the S-parameter is larger near the surface than in the bulk due to corrosion. Furthermore, information on defect size from PAL data as a function of positron incident energy up to 10 keV (i.e. ∼0.2 μm depth) was analyzed. In the two-state trapping model, the lifetime τ₂ = 500 ps is ascribed to annihilation of positrons in voids with a size of the order of nanometer. τ₁, which decreases with depth from the surface to the bulk, is ascribed to the annihilation of positrons in dislocations and three-dimensional vacancy clusters. The corroded samples show a significant increase in τ₁ and the intensity I₂, and near the surface the corroded iron introduces both voids and large-size three-dimensional vacancy clusters. The size of vacancy clusters decreases with depth.     

Hydrogen damage in AISI 304 stainless steel studied by Doppler broadening

Hydrogen damage of AISI 304 stainless steel has been systemically investigated by measuring Doppler broadening of positron annihilation. Defect profiles of the S-parameter, the low-momentum annihilation fraction as a function of positron incident energy up to 30 keV (i.e. ∼1 μm depth) have been analyzed. Experimental results show that hydrogen damage between the surface and the bulk has a significant variation with depth, and strongly depends on the condition of hydrogen-charging, i.e. current density and charging time. It has been suggested that the increase in S-parameter near the surface after hydrogen-charging mainly comes from the formation of voids; however the increase in S-parameter in the bulk after hydrogen-charging mainly comes from the production of structural defects (dislocations). Defect densities induced due to hydrogen-charging in some cases (e.g. dislocation density in the bulk) are estimated based on the simple two-state trapping model.     

N2分压对ZrN/WN纳米多层膜缺陷性质与力学性能的影响

利用射频磁控溅射系统在不同N₂分压的条件下,制备了一系列ZrN/WN纳米多层膜.借助慢正电子湮没技术分析了样品的缺陷性质,采用纳米压痕仪研究了多层膜的力学性能.结果发现：N₂分压为0.4Pa的多层膜具有最小的空位型缺陷浓度,其中心层和膜基结合层的平均S参数分别为0.4402和0.4641,而较低或较高的N₂分压都可能导致空位型缺陷浓度的增加.随着空位型缺陷浓度的减小,多层膜的硬度和临界载荷增大.对于空位型缺陷浓度最小的多层膜,其硬度和临界载荷达到最大值,分别为34.8GPa和100mN,说明较低的缺陷浓度有利于提高多层膜的力学性能.关键词：ZrN/WN纳米多层膜缺陷性质力学性能慢正电子湮没
