Identification of pore size in porous SiO2 thin film by positron annihilation

Positron annihilation lifetime and Doppler broadening of annihilation line techniques have been used to obtain information about the small pore structure and size of porous SiO2 thin film produced by sputtered Al-Si thin film and etched Al-Si thin film. The film is prepared by an Al/Si 75：25 at.-% （A175Si25） target with the radiofrequency （RF） power of 66 W at room temperature. A 5 wt.-% phosphoric acid solution is used to etch the Al cylinders. All the A1 cylinders dissolved in the solution after 15 h at room temperature, and the sample is subsequently rinsed in pure water. In this way, the porous SiO2 on the Si substrate is produced. From our results, the values of all lifetime components in the spectra of Al-Si thin film are less than 1 ns, but the value of one of the lifetime components in the spectra of porous SiO2 thin film is τ = 7.80 ns. With these values of lifetime, RTE （Rectangular Pore Extension） model has been used to analyze the pore size.

Mesoporous titania films investigated by positron annihilation based on a slow positron beam

Tunable mesoporous titania (TiO₂) thin films were synthesized via a sol-gel method using an amphiphilic triblock copolymer F38 as the structural template. The dependence of crystalization, pore morphology and interconnectivity of TiO₂ films on the weight ratio of F38 was studied by wide-angle X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and Doppler broadening of positron annihilation radiation spectroscopy based on a slow positron beam. By loading more F38, the crystallization of TiO₂ films is enhanced, accompanied by a decrement in oxygen vacancies/grain boundaries. Smaller and isolated mesopores are formed in the films prepared with F38 less than 15?wt%. The pore percolation occurs when the weight ratio of F38 is up to 20?wt% and larger and interconnected worm-like pores are formed.     

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.     

Identification of the pressure-induced phase transition of ZnSe with the positron annihilation method

This paper studies the pressure-induced phase transition between zincblende (B3) and NaCl (B1) structure ZnSe by using the hydrostatic pressure first-principles pseudopotential plane wave method. The energy-volume and enthalpy-pressure curves are employed to estimate the transition pressure. It is found that ZnSe undergoes a first-order phase transition from the B3 structure to the B1 structure at approximately 15 GPa derived from the energy-volume relation and 14 GPa based on deduction from enthalpy-pressure data. The pressure-related positron bulk lifetimes of the two ZnSe structures are calculated with the atomic superposition approximation method. In comparison with the 13.4% reduction in volume of ZnSe at the transition pressure, the positron bulk lifetime decreases more significantly and the relative value declines up to 22.3%. The results show that positron annihilation is an effective technique to identify and characterize the first-order phase transition and can give valuable information about changes in micro-scale, such as volume shrinkage and compressibility.     

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

Effect of vacancy charge state on positron annihilation in silicon

The charge-state-dependent lattice relaxation of mono-vacancy in silicon is studied using the first-principles pseu- dopotential plane-wave method. We observe that the structural relaxation for the first-neighbor atoms of the mono-vacancy is strongly dependent on its charge state. The difference in total electron density between with and without charge states in mono-vacancy and its relevant change due to the localized positron are also examined by means of first-principles simu- lation, demonstrating the strong interplay between positron and electron. Our calculations reveal that the positron lifetime decreases with absolute charge value increasing.

Characterisation of atomic-scale defects in ODS ferritic alloys by positron annihilation

The vacancy-type defects and their local chemical environment in different ODS alloys produced in the USA (14YWT), China (K5) and Russia (ODS EP-450) are studied. The Angular Correlation of Annihilation Radiation (ACAR), which is one of the positron annihilation spectroscopy method, was used. It was shown that in all alloys, except 14YWT, the dominant type of positron traps are vacancy-like defects, localised in matrix or associated with dislocations and/or interfaces of the incoherent particles. In the case of 14YWT alloy, which contains Y–Ti–O nanoclusters of a high density, the positrons confine and annihilate at O-vacancy pairs or complexes within nanoclusters. It is testified by enhanced electron density in annihilation sites and neighbourhood of Ti and Y atoms. These results, obtained by the ACAR method, indicate that the vacancies play an essential role in the formation of nanoclusters in ODS 14YWT alloy as it was theoretical predicted by first-principle calculations.
