W artykule przedstawiono spektroskopię anihilacji pozytonów, jako metodę dedykowaną do badań defektów struktury krystalicznej. Omówiono jej podstawy fizyczne i zaprezentowano technikę dopplerowskiego poszerzenia linii anihilacyjnej. Wskazano zakres stosowalności odnosząc się do najnowszych rozwiązań opartych na tzw. wiązkach powolnych pozytonów. Idea takiej wiązki, działającej w Laboratorium Problemów Jądrowych im. Dzhelepova w Zjednoczonym Instytucie Badań Jądrowych w Dubnej, została szerzej zaprezentowana. Przedstawiono zasadę działania oraz przykłady zastosowań z podstawami analizy otrzymywanych wyników.

Positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) as a method dedicated to study structural defects was presented. Physical basics of PAS and the Doppler broadening of annihilation line technique were discussed. Application range based on the newest technology, namely slow positron beams was presented. The idea of the beam, working at Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems at Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, along with the basic analysis of the results were described in details.

The influence of sandblasting on surface and subsurface of stainless steel is investigated using variable energy positron beam (VEP), positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Samples of stainless steel were blasted using 110 μm particles of Al2O3 under different pressure and time duration. In the case of sandblasting for 90 s, the reduction of positron diffusion length depending on the applied pressure was observed. Sandblasting during 30 s leads only to the reduction of positron diffusion length to about 60 nm for all samples. Positron lifetimes close to 170 ps measured using positrons emitted directly from the source point to the presence of vacancies on the dislocation lines. SEM and AFM images show that surface roughness depends rather on pressure of sandblasting than time of exposition.

The Low Energy Positron Toroidal Accumulator (LEPTA) at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) proposed for generation of positronium in flight has been adopted for positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS). The positron injector generates continuous slow positron beam with positron energy range between 50 eV and 35 keV. The radioactive 22Na isotope is used. In distinction to popular tungsten foil, here the solid neon is used as moderator. It allows to obtain the beam intensity of about 105 e+/s width energy spectrum characterized by full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 3.4 eV and a tail to lower energies of about 30 eV. The paper covers the characteristic of variable energy positron beam at the LEPTA facility: parameters, the rule of moderation, scheme of injector, and transportation of positrons into the sample chamber. Recent status of the project and its development in the field of PAS is discussed. As an example, the measurement of the positron diffusion length in pure iron is demonstrated.

Theoretical studies of the positron implantation profiles in the layered samples are presented. Simulations performed using a GEANT4 tool kit revealed accumulation of positrons in denser layer embedded by less dens environment. This effect is significant for implantation profiles of slow positrons formed in a beam. Nevertheless, it is also present in conventional experiments, where positrons are emitted from radioactive nuclei. In some cases the diffusion process, which follows the implantation and thermalization processes, can smear this effect. However, defects on the interfaces or differences in the positron affinity can sustain it.

We calculated theoretically the mass absorption coefficients for positrons emitted from the commonly used sources 22Na and 68Ge/68Ga in numerous materials. For this purpose, we used the tool kit GEANT4 which allows to generate the implantation profile. An excellent agreement between the experimental profile and the calculated one was achieved. The calculated values of the mass absorption coefficients coincide well with the experimental values determined by the DSIP method.

The experimental technique based on scanning of positron implantation profile, hereafter referred to as the DSIP is used for the determination of linear absorption coefficient for positrons emitted from a 48V source into water. This coefficient is equal to 1/(299š62) mi m–1. The determined value is in agreement with the one obtained from the computer simulations using the well known EGS nrc 4.0 and GEANT4 codes. The experimental technique was used for the determination of linear absorption coefficients for 48V positrons in materials of biological origin. The presented data can be useful for PET studies because of similarities of the 18F and 48V positron implantation profiles.
