用正电子湮没研究高聚物聚甲基丙烯酸甲脂的结构转变与自由体积特性

在20—150℃温度范围内,测量了高聚物聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)中的正电子湮没寿命谱和湮没辐射多普勒展宽谱随温度的变化。两种正电子湮没参数的温度关系均一致反映了高聚物PMMA中的结构变化。108℃和48℃处的变化与玻璃化转变和β相交有关,而本实验发现正电子湮没特征在84℃处出现异常,这可能是此温度下少量自由体积孔洞的连通所致。由实验测得的o-Ps寿命及其相对强度计算了PMMA中自由体积孔洞的尺寸及自由体积分数随温度的变化。

利用正电子湮没技术研究钾掺杂钨合金中的缺陷

钨合金中钾的掺杂会引入大量的缺陷,如尺寸几十纳米的钾泡、高密度的位错以及微米量级的晶粒带来的晶界等,这些缺陷的浓度和分布直接影响合金的服役性能.本文运用正电子湮没谱学方法研究钾掺杂钨合金中的缺陷信息,首先模拟计算了合金中各种缺陷的正电子湮没寿命,发现钾的嵌入对空位团、位错、晶界等缺陷的寿命影响很小;然后测量了不同钾含量掺杂钨合金样品的正电子湮没寿命谱,建立三态捕获模型,发现样品中有高的位错密度和低的空位团簇浓度,验证了钾对位错的钉扎作用,阐述了在钾泡形成初期是钾元素与空位团簇结合并逐渐长大的过程;最后使用慢正电子多普勒展宽谱技术表征了样品中缺陷随深度的均匀分布和大量存在,通过扩散长度的比较肯定了钾泡、晶界等缺陷的存在.     

MoO3/Al2O3催化剂中Mo分散的正电子研究

用浸渍法制备了一系列不同Mo含量的MoO3/Al2O3催化剂.测量了这些样品的正电子湮没寿命谱(PALS)与符合多普勒展宽(CDB)谱,以研究其孔洞结构以及Mo分散.正电子寿命测量结果表明,Al2O3载体中存在两种不同尺寸的孔洞.掺入MoO3之后,Mo原子主要进入Al2O3的大孔中,使孔洞体积减小.符合多普勒展宽谱结果表明,当MoO3的质量含量仅为3%时,多普勒展宽谱即发生了显著的改变.这表明Mo已分散至Al2O3的孔洞中,使得正电子测量所得到的电子动量分布发生改变.在MoO3含量达到18%之后,Al2O3中大孔的体积减小到尺寸与小孔相当,此后正电子寿命和多普勒展宽谱不再随MoO3含量变化,表明Mo分散逐渐达到饱和.

Positron lifetimes and annihilation lineshape in Cd and au from 4.2 K to the melting points

By means of an integrated source-specimen technique the temperature dependence of positron lifetimes and annihilation lineshapes has been measured, on the same specimens of gold and cadmium from 4.2K to the melting points, and also in electronirradiated and quenched gold. The anomalous temperature dependence of positron annihilation at intermediate temperatures (200 to 350 K in Cd, 270 to 750 K in Au) discovered by Lichtenberger, Schulte, and MacKenzie is confirmed. The data are incompatible with the idea that the intermediate temperature dependence is due to thermal expansion. They are well explained by an extension of the trapping model which includes the formation of metastable self-trapped positrons. From lineshape measurements after electron irradiation at 180 K and after quenching it is deduced that the trapping rate of positrons at vacancy-type defects in Au is temperature independent below room temperature.     

Positron annihilation in the quenched and electron-irradiated NiSb intermetallic compound

Samples of the near equiatomic NiSb compound were irradiated by 3 MeV electrons at 20 K or quenched from 1103 K and 1333 K and subsequently annealed isochronally. The behaviour of defects created by quench or irradiation were studied by the positron annihilation technique. Only one recovery stage was found around 425 K for quenched specimens, but two distinct stages (100 K and 425 K) were observed after irradiation. The 425 K stage is ascribed to the migration of Ni vacancies giving dislocation loops. The recombination of mobile interstitials with vacancies after irradiation is assumed to occur between 100 K and 250 K. Doppler broadening and lifetime variations of positrons as a function of the measuring temperature in these irradiation samples are discussed.     

Two-dimensional melting of physisorbed submonolayers of argon and nitrogen

We have studied two-dimensional argon and nitrogen physisorbed on grafoil by conducting positron lifetime and Doppler broadening measurements as functions of adsorbate coverage and temperature. Positron lifetime and Doppler broadening parameters show turnarounds near one-half monolayer coverages at 77 K. The s parameter of the Doppler broadening spectra measured for one-half monolayer coverages of argon and nitrogen increases with temperature across the melting phase transition. We discuss the observed coverage and temperature effects following models based on Kosterlitz-Thouless-Nelson-Halperin-Young theory of two dimensional melting and positron localization in surface defects.     

An Experimental Study of Mg Aggregation in AA5754 Alloys by Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy

Defects in an AA5754 （Al-3.0%Mg） alloy are investigated by coincidence Doppler broadening spectroscopy and positron lifetime spectroscopy. The results indicate enhancement of positron trapping by Mg atoms in this Al-Mg alloy after quenching treatment at 623K, which may be due to the formation of vacancy-Mg complexes or the aggregation of Mg near the vacancy sites. It is speculated that the aggregation of Mg atoms in the moderate temperature range is responsible for cracking in spot welding of AA5754 alloys.     

Investigation of defect structures in deuteron irradiated and deformed stainless steel 316 by positron annihilation

Abstract

Deuteron-irradiated and deformed stainless steel specimens were investigated by positron lifetime and Doppler broadening measurements. The evolution of the defect structures was studied as a function of the isochronal annealing temperature and for various degrees of deformation. A different behaviour was observed for deformed and irradiated stainless steel specimens. Evidence for vacancy clusters was found in the deuteron-irradiated steel. These clusters disappear after annealing around 900 K.     

Positron annihilation study of alpha-irradiated stainless steel SS 302 and Cobalt

Abstract

Positron lifetime and Doppler broadening measurements have been done to study the α-induced defects in stainless steel SS 302 and polycrystalline cobalt. For stainless steel the samples have been thin and the effect of the presence of helium on defect kinetics has been avoided by allowing the 30 MeV alpha particles to pass through the samples. The presence of impurity (carbon) atoms in steel is found to play an important role in the trapping and detrapping of vacancies in the temperature range 200°C to 450°C. Formation of vacancy-impurity complexes and their dissociation around 500°C have been observed. A steady decrease of the positron parameters has been seen beyond 700°C and they attain those of the reference sample around 1000°C. While annealing alpha irradiated cobalt we find migration of vacancies and rearrangement of dislocation loops below 650 K and then dissolution around 900 K. Helium-vacancy complexes form in the region 600 to 1000 K, leading to the growth of the He-bubble above 1000 K. The trapping model analysis shows strong interaction between He and vacancy clusters in the temperature region 600 to 1000 K.     

Thermal expansion effects in positron lifetimes

The precision of relative positron lifetime measurements is now sufficient to observe directly changes due to lattice thermal expansion. This information is necessary for the determination of accurate vacancy formation energies from positron annihilation data obtained over a higher temperature range. Measurements have been made of the change in positron lifetime in the metals Au, Ag, Cu, and Al over the temperature range 100–300 K where there is no contribution from positron trapping at vacancies. The results are compared with theoretical calculations which take account of positron annihilations with both valence and core electrons.     

Positron annihilation in aluminium at low and superlow temperatures

Positron lifetime and Doppler broadening of annihilation radiation have been measured in aluminium between 12 mK and 300 K. Positrons are not localized in aluminium in the whole temperature interval. The value of the positron lifetime is 167±4 ps. The data obtained for theS-parameter above 77 K is explained by simple thermal expansion.     

Positron trapping in electron-irradiated silicon crystals

The positron lifetime in electron-irradiated undoped and doped silicon crystals is studied as a function of temperature between 90 and 300 K. We show that the temperature dependence of the two lifetime components does not arise from the escape, but from the trapping rate at defects. The temperature dependences of the capture cross sections are deduced. It is concluded that in undoped crystals the positrons interact with negatively charged and neutral defects, probably divacancies and vacancy-oxygen complexes, respectively. In strongly P-doped crystals positron trapping occurs preferably in negatively charged centers.     

Annealing Behaviour of Helium Bubbles in Titanium Films by Thermal Desorption Spectroscopy and Positron Beam Analysis

Helium-containing Ti Glms are prepared using magnetron sputtering in the helium-argon atmosphere. Isochronal annealing at different temperatures for an hour is employed to reveal the behaviour of helium bubble growth. Ion beam analysis is used to measure the retained helium content. Helium can release largely when annealing above 970K. A thermal helium desorption spectroscopy system is constructed for assessment of the evolution of helium bubbles in the annealed samples by linear heating （OAK/s） from room temperature to 1500K. Also, Doppler broadening measurements of positron annihilation radiation spectrum are performed by using changeable energy positron beam. Bubble coarsening evolves gradually below 680K, migration and coalescence of small bubbles dominates in the range of 68-970 K, and the Ostwald ripening mechanism enlarges the bubbles with a massive release above 970K.
