Two different solids, d‐camphor (molecular) and silver iodide (ionic), are investigated as a function of temperature, using position lifetime spectroscopy (LS) and Doppler broadening of annihilation radiation lineshape (DBARL) techniques in conjunction. Substantial positronium formation is found in both matrices. In d‐camphor, the reconstructive phase transition of the plastic phase at 374 K is evidenced. However, the variations of the LS parameters only qualitatively agree with predictions from the free volume model. No discontinuity in the experimental data is observed in AgI, even at the transition to the superionic conducting α‐phase. This absence of effect, particularly on e+, is attributed to the very short dynamic lifetime of the cation vacancy, not allowing for positron trapping. Comparing the DBARL to the LS data shows that increasing the temperature or changing the phase can result in changes not only in the LS parameters, but also in the momentum distribution of the various positron states. In d‐camphor in particular, the changes in the latter would occur roughly in proportion to those of the lifetimes.
