Abstract:We report the measurement of Doppler broadening annihilation radiation in silicon, using 22 Na as a positron source, and two Ge detectors arrangement. The two-dimensional coincidence energy spectrum was fitted using a model function. The model function included at rest positron annihilation with valence band, 2p, 2s, and 1s electrons. In-flight positron annihilation was also fitted. The detectors response functions included backscattering, and a combination of Compton effects, pileup, ballistic deficit, and pu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
