Hydrogen in nano-voids in neutron-irradiated nickel has been detected using positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). As positron lifetime is greatly affected by nano-voids bound with hydrogen, special attention was paid to the analysis. The positron lifetime of neutron-irradiated nickel at higher irradiation doses increased with the dose, which is an indicator for vacancy cluster (nano-void) formation in the lattice. The introduction of hydrogen in well-annealed nickel by electrical charging also resulted in an increase in positron lifetime due to vacancy formation. In neutron-irradiated nickel specimens, hydrogen charging shortened the positron lifetime from 456 to 334 ps (irradiation dose: 3 × 10?3 dpa). Isochronal annealing behaviour of hydrogen-charged nickel and neutron-irradiated nickel was also studied. Positron trapping rate was calculated using a simple trapping model. Thermal desorption spectroscopy was used for the investigation of hydrogen behaviour in non-irradiated hydrogen-charged nickel. 相似文献

在77—295 K温区和氢浓度0—0.35范围采用正电子湮没寿命测量方法研究了Pd0.75Ag0.25Hx氢化物合金. 充氢后正电子湮没寿命谱可以用两个寿命成分表征. 短寿命成分τ1不随温度和氢浓度变化, 是自由正电子湮没寿命; 长寿命成分τ2及其相对强度I2不随温度变化, 但随氢浓度的增加分别增大和减小, τ2是氢气泡捕获的正电子湮没寿命, τ2增大和I2减小说明随氢浓度增大氢聚集成的气泡的尺度增大, 而浓度减小. 实验结果表明, 氢脆的微观机理是氢气泡致脆. The metal hydride PdAgHx with a hydrogen concentration x ranging from 0 to 0.35 has been investigated by positron annihilation lifetime method in the temperature region between 77 K and 295 K. The measured lifetime spectra in metal hydride PdAgHx are characterized by two lifetimes τ1 and τ2. The short lifetime τ1 is independent of both hydrogen concentration and temperature, which is ascribed to the annihilation lifetime of free positrons. The long lifetime τ2 and its intensity I2 do not change with temperature, while τ2 increases and I2 decreases with increasing of hydrogen concentration. τ2 is attributed to the lifetime of positrons trapped at the hydrogen bubble. The increase of τ2 indicates the growth of the hydrogen bubble, and the decrease of I2 shows the reduction of the hydrogen bubble concentration. The experimental result shows a microscopic mechanism that the hydrogen bubble produced causes hydrogen embrittlement. 相似文献

The two-component density functional theory is applied to the study of the thermalized positron state in simulated structures of hydrogenated amorphous silicon. Results show that positron properties in bulk and ad hoc defect structures are sensitive to the defect free-volume. Using the normalized positron density, it is determined that the thermalized positron state is weakly localized at hydrogen-decorated vacancy-like complexes, and not at microscopic open volume defects. These defect complexes form as clusters of hydrogen-passivated dangling bonds. It is also found that hydrogen enhances the delocalization of positron density in the simulated structures. The relevance of the present results to the interpretation of actual positron lifetime spectroscopy in real materials is discussed. 相似文献

Low temperature photoluminescence and room temperature positron annihilation spectroscopy have been employed to investigate the defects incorporated by 6?MeV H(+) ions in a hydrothermally grown ZnO single crystal. Prior to irradiation, the emission from donor bound excitons is at 3.378?eV (10?K). The irradiation creates an intense and narrow emission at 3.368?eV (10?K). The intensity of this peak is nearly four times that of the dominant near band edge peak of the pristine crystal. The characteristic features of the 3.368?eV emission indicate its origin as a 'hydrogen at oxygen vacancy' type defect. The positron annihilation lifetime measurement reveals a single component lifetime spectrum for both the unirradiated (164?±?1?ps) and irradiated crystal (175?±?1?ps). It reflects the fact that the positron lifetime and intensity of the new irradiation driven defect species are a little higher compared to those in the unirradiated crystal. However, the estimated defect concentration, even considering the high dynamic defect annihilation rate in ZnO, comes out to be ~4?×?10(17)?cm(-3) (using SRIM software). This is a very high defect concentration compared to the defect sensitivity of positron annihilation spectroscopy. A probable reason is the partial filling of the incorporated vacancies (positron traps), which in ZnO are zinc vacancies. The positron lifetime of ~175?ps (in irradiated ZnO) is consistent with recent theoretical calculations for partially hydrogen-filled zinc vacancies in ZnO. Passivation of oxygen vacancies by hydrogen is also reflected in the photoluminescence results. A possible reason for such vacancy filling (at both Zn and O sites) due to irradiation has also been discussed. 相似文献

The application of polymeric membrane in combination with metallic films can be used for gas purification in particular for hydrogen where the molecular size is very small. The affinity of hydrogen to certain metals assists the flow of hydrogen, although it restricts the permeation of other gases. However, the flow rate is very small in dense membranes. Attempts have been made to generate nuclear tracks in polymeric membranes to control the gas flow. These tracks can be characterized by positron lifetime spectroscopy and gas permeation measurements. The long lifetime of ortho-positronium gives the estimate of size of the track-free volume of the order of 0.25 nm. The nuclear tracks can be modified by a chemical etching process. The chemical etching normally takes place from both sides of the membrane. When the etched pits from both sides meet, a rapid increase in gas permeation is observed. The size of the nano opening of the track has been observed for two different gases hydrogen and carbon dioxide, which have a molecular size of 0.2 and 0.4 nm, respectively. 相似文献

In this paper, we have used the sputtering neutral-particles mass spectroscopy (SNMS) and positron-annihilation technique to investigate the effect of hydrogenation on the physical properties of different oxygenated YBa2Cu3O7−δ superconductors. Under the same of hydrogenation treatment, the hydrogenation effects on the superconductors are compared to the non-superconductors. It was shown that the hydrogen concentration in the superconductors is about eight times of the non-superconductor's. It was proven that the long lifetime of positrons in the annihilation process is determined by the variation of the concentrations of monovacancies and microvoids, which takes place in both of intragrain and intergrain samples. The hydrogenation effect can be classified into four stages. At the first stage, the hydrogen atoms fill both monovacancy and microvoid. At the end of the first stage, the long lifetime τ2 reaches the maximum value which is determined by the lifetime of the positron in the monovacancy-free and nearly microvoid-exhausted YBCO sample. In the second stage, the hydrogen charging will lead to creation of new monovacancies; this will make the long lifetime τ2 drop monotonically to its minimum value. In the third stage, further hydrogen charging promotes the formation of microvoids, and leads to an increasing τ2 up to a saturation value, which indicates the equilibrium concentrations of monovacancy and microvoid at that temperature. 相似文献

Nanoparticles of cobalt ferrite prepared by the co-precipitation method with crystallite size varying from 4.7 to 41 nm have been characterized by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy. Three lifetime components are fitted to the lifetime data. The shortest lifetime component is attributed to the delocalized positron lifetime shortened by defect trapping. The intermediate lifetime is assigned to the positron annihilation in diffuse vacancy clusters or microvoids at the grain boundaries and at the grain-boundary triple points. The longest component corresponds to the pick-off annihilation of ortho-positronium formed at the larger voids. The variations in these lifetimes and their relative intensities with annealing temperature and crystallite size have been studied in detail. 相似文献

The ion damaged effect and subsequent isothermal annealing in boron-implanted Si was studied by positron annihilation lifetime measurements. The mean positron lifetime in preimplanted n-type Si is 243 psec. The variation of mean lifetime is detectable when the implanted boron dose is greater than 1.0x1015/cm2. The saturated mean positron lifetime (247 psec) occurs when the implantation dose reaches 2.5x1015/cm2. The mean electron density of the positron sensitive defects is estimated to be about 85% less than that in the perfect parts of the crystal. Isothermal annealing was held in every 5-minute step at 1000°C. In the first step, the positron lifetime in the implanted sample increases slightly and then decreases completely to its initial state in the 3rd step. Sheet resistance of the sample monitored by 4-point probe method has been found closely related to the positron lifetime. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Steels with high amounts of silicon are used in electrical applications due to their low magnetostriction, high electrical resistivity and reduced energy losses, but they exhibit poor formability. The slow positron beam of Gent is used to investigate defects in different deformed FeSi alloys. It was found that the concentration of defects for the alloys deformed at high temperatures are different from the ones related to the alloys deformed at room temperature. These results are correlated to the results of positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). 相似文献
