Observation of the positronium negative ion

AP Mills Jr - Physical Review Letters, 1981 - APS
A beam of 400-eV positrons is partially transmitted through a 40-Å C film in vacuum.
Measuring the γ-ray energy spectrum with a downstream Ge (Li) detector, a new γ-ray peak …

Precision Microwave Spectroscopy of the Positronium Fine Structure

L Gurung, TJ Babij, SD Hogan, DB Cassidy - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We report a new measurement of the positronium (Ps) 2 S 3 1→ 2 P 3 0 interval. Slow Ps
atoms, optically excited to the radiatively metastable 2 S 3 1 level, flew through a microwave …

Characterization of defects in Si and SiO2−Si using positrons

P Asoka‐Kumar, KG Lynn, DO Welch - Journal of Applied Physics, 1994 - pubs.aip.org
In the past few years, there has been rapid growth in the positron annihilation spectroscopy
(PAS) of overlayers, interfaces, and buried regions of semiconductors. There are few other …

Positronium formation at surfaces

AP Mills Jr - Physical review letters, 1978 - APS
A beam of positrons is used to study positronium (Ps) formation at the surfaces of clean,
single-crystal targets. The Ps formation probability changes with incident energy E as (EE 0+ …

Positronium cooling in porous silica measured via Doppler spectroscopy

DB Cassidy, P Crivelli, TH Hisakado, L Liszkay… - Physical Review A …, 2010 - APS
We have measured the kinetic energy of positronium (Ps) atoms emitted into a vacuum from
a porous silica film subsequent to positron bombardment, via the Doppler spread of the …

Transmission of 1-6-keV positrons through thin metal films

AP Mills Jr, RJ Wilson - Physical Review A, 1982 - APS
We report measurements of the transmission of 1-6-keV energy positrons through films of Al,
Cu, and Si up to 3000 Å thick. When the thickness is expressed in terms of mass per unit …
