Spin conversion of positronium inNiO/Al2O3catalysts observed by coincidence Doppler broadening technique

Abstract: High-purity NiO/ Al 2 O 3 catalysts were prepared by mixing NiO and ␥-Al 2 O 3 nanopowders. X-ray diffraction patterns were measured to characterize the grain size and crystalline phase of the nanopowders. Positronannihilation spectroscopy was used to study the microstructure and surface properties of the pores inside the NiO/ Al 2 O 3 catalysts. The positron lifetime spectrum comprises two short and two long lifetime components. The two long lifetimes 3 and 4 correspond to ortho-positronium ͑o-Ps͒ annihilated… Show more

“…As seen in Figure 2I, the low momentum region (E < 511.68 eV) and high momentum zone (513.86 eV < E < 516.73 eV) are generally assigned to large nanovoids and small defects in the materials, respectively. [13] The electron momentum ratio curve of N-SnO 2 /SnO 2 exhibits a lower value in the low momentum and higher value in the high momentum region, indicating the elevated distribution of small vacancies in the N-SnO 2 , according well with the PAL results. Hence, the consideration of PAL and CDB reinforce that N-permeating behavior could tailor the mono-oxygen dislodgement and concurrently increase the small-vacancies concentrations over the whole available surface.…”

“…The two Ge detectors were set to record the two annihilation γ rays of positrons, and these two signals were then sent to a FAST Comtec multiparameter system. Details of the CDB setup can be found elsewhere [14] . The S parameter and W parameter were usually used to characterize the one-dimensional CDB spectrum, which were defined as the ratio of low-momentum(|P L | ∧ 0.68 keV) region and high-momentum (2.86 keV ∧ |P L | ∧ 5.73 keV) region to the total annihilation peak, respectively.…”

“…The XRD results for NiMo and Pt catalysts are shown in Figure 2A,B, respectively. In both plots, the diffraction peaks occurred at 2θ of 32.8 • , 37.1 • , 39.5 • , 45.6 • , 60.7 • , and 67 • and can be indexed with the γ-Al 2 O 3 phase having different planes such as ( 220), ( 311), ( 222), ( 400), (511), and (440) [32,33]. All XRD patterns of the different catalysts do not present notable sharp characteristic peaks for the Ni, Mo and Pt oxides or metal phases, which suggests either highly dispersed Ni, Mo or Pt dispersed on the supports or that the metal loadings were low.…”
