Single-specimen Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy using β+ emitters
We present a new isotope-based sample-source setup to enable bulk defect studies on single samples using positrons. For this technique, we employ the positron emitter 22Na (activity of 7 MBq) and modified our Coincidence Doppler Broadening Spectrometer (CDBs). Compared to the commonly used sandwich geometry, where the positron emitter is placed between two “identical” samples for conventional Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (PAS), the new single specimen setup offers three major advantages: (i) only a single sample is required, (ii) annihilation radiation originating from the source itself or its supporting material is not detected, i.e., there is no source component, and (iii) unwanted -radiation emitted from the positron source (1275 keV -quanta in the case of 22Na) is efficiently suppressed. These three major improvements are demonstrated with Coincidence Doppler Broadening Spectroscopy (CDBS) on single-crystalline copper by comparing spectra recorded with both the sandwich method and a 30 keV positron beam. The Kapton source component is absent and a pure spectrum of bulk copper is obtained.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
