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.     

Planned positron experiments at FRM-II

The new research reactor FRM-II near Munich has a strong positron source, which delivers an intense, nearly monoenergetic positron beam. Our positron systems, the pulsed low energy positron source (PLEPS) and the scanning positron microscope (SPM) will be operated at this beam. Some aspects of matching these systems to the new positron source will be discussed.Considerable improvements are expected, e.g. more than 10⁵ s⁻¹ recorded events at PLEPS and sub-micrometre resolution at SPM. They will enable investigations in so far inaccessible problems like the evaluation of annihilation characteristics and trapping constants of individual defects or studies of fast dynamical processes. In applied materials science complex defect structures will be studied which demand a resolution into many differing lifetimes, e.g. fractured specimens, wear, corrosion, etc. Also large series of measurements at small systematic modifications are planned. There is also the opportunity to analyse in addition the chemical microstructure of the specimens by means of a hydrogen microprobe and other ion beam techniques available close to FRM-II at the Technical University of Munich.     

Scientific legacy of Stanley Ruby

Stanley L. Ruby (1924–2004) made major contributions to Mössbauer spectroscopy and was the first to suggest the feasibility of observing the Mössbauer effect using synchrotron radiation. In this article we recall his scientific legacy that have inspired his scientific colleagues.     

石墨和纳米碳中缺陷和电子密度随温度的变化

测量了石墨和纳米碳在不同温度下的正电子寿命谱,研究了石墨和纳米碳中缺陷和电子密度随温度的变化.结果表明,纳米碳中缺陷的开空间和缺陷浓度分别大于和高于石墨晶体;纳米碳的平均自由电子密度低于石墨晶体.当温度从25K升至295K时,石墨和纳米碳中的平均自由电子密度随温度的升高而下降:石墨晶体中的自由电子密度随温度的升高变化较小;纳米碳的自由电子密度随温度的升高变化较大.随着温度的升高,石墨和纳米碳中的热空位数量增多,而且这些空位可迁移至微孔洞的内表面使微孔洞的开空间增大.     

Effects of oxygen in gamma irradiated aromatic polyesters in film

The effect of gamma irradiation in air is investigated on four thermoplastic polyesters (PET, PBT, PEN, PCT-co-ET) in films containing aromatic rings, in order to evaluate the influence of aromatic density and the role of oxygen on radiation resistance. Physical-chemical-nuclear analyses were used to this purpose. EPR measurements were carried out to detect radical stability against oxygen permeation. Viscometric investigations reported a very similar trend for all the investigated polyesters: a chain break effect that decreases at the highest doses. FT-IR analyses focused on the formation of oxidized species. Positron annihilation spectra pointed out a decrease of the intensity of ortho-positronium formation, while its lifetime remains unchanged with radiation dose.     

e+e-实验中ψ(2S)能区连续态单光子湮没过程的贡献

研究了e+e-实验中ψ(2S)能区连续态单光子湮没过程的截面对观测总截面的贡献. 针对ψ(2S)质量处ωπ0和π+π-两个观测末态,利用唯象模型估计了单光子湮没过程贡献的大小. 分析表明,对于ψ(2S)→ωπ0和ψ(2S)→π+π-,以及其他电磁末态分支比的确定,单光子湮没过程的贡献必须认真考虑. 通过研究,我们认为对于BES实验来说,为了获得共振态电磁末态分支比的正确结果,至少需要在低于ψ(2S)共振峰的能量点采集10pb-1的数据.

磁性离子Fe和Ni替代YBCO体系的结构特征和载流子局域化

为阐明磁性离子在不同替代位置对YBCO体系超导电性的影响机制，利用正电子湮没及相关实验手段结合数值模拟，系统研究了Fe和Ni掺杂的YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ体系. 结果表明，Fe和Ni离子在替代过程中均以离子团簇的形式进入晶格. 当离子进入CuO₂面时，由于团簇改变了周围的电子结构，造成电子的局域化，并直接影响了电子对的配对和输运，因而强烈抑制了体系的超导电性.而当掺杂离子进入Cu-O链区时，它们同样通过团簇的形式改变周围 关键词： YBCO超导体 磁性离子替代 正电子湮没 数值模拟

We prove that the Hudson-Parthasarathy equation corresponds, up to unitary equivalence, to the strong resolvent limit of Schrödinger Hamiltonians in Fock space and that the symmetric form of this equation corresponds to the weak limit of the Schrödinger Hamiltonians.Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 60, No. 5, pp. 726–750, November, 1996.
