Document Title:	Nanotechnologies -- Positron annihilation lifetime measurement for nanopore evaluation in materials
url:
Scope:	This document describes a method for performing positron annihilation lifetime measurements with a 22Na positron source with beta-plus decay to analyze the lifetime of positrons as a mean lifetime of the ortho-positronium from 1 ns to 10 ns (ascribed to the pore size, approximately, from 0.3 nm to 1.3 nm in diameter), observed for polymeric materials in which the positronium atoms mostly annihilate via a two-gamma annihilation process. This document is not applicable for measuring non-positronium forming metals, positronium-forming materials that induce a spin conversion reaction or contain chemicals influencing the annihilation process of ortho-positronium by chemical reactions, as well as mesoporous silica gels with a large contribution from the three-gamma annihilation process.
