Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectrometer (PAT) Analytical Service

Overview

Positron Annihilation Technique (PAT) is a relatively new nuclear physics technology that utilizes the annihilation radiation of positrons in condensed matter to reveal information about the microscopic structure, electron momentum distribution, and defect states within a material. This provides a non-destructive research method that has garnered significant attention. PAT is now applied across various fields, including solid-state physics, semiconductor physics, metal physics, atomic physics, surface physics, superconducting physics, biology, chemistry, and medicine. In particular, positrons play an increasingly important role in materials science research, especially in the study of microscopic defects and phase transitions.

Sample Requirement

• The ideal sample size is 12×12×2 mm; for diameter-based samples, 12×2 mm (length/diameter > 10 mm, thickness > 1 mm).

• Each sample set requires two identical pieces; different samples should be pressed under the same pressure if possible (after pressing, the sample should not be loose when lightly pinched).

• For powdered samples, the amount should be sufficient to press into two discs with a diameter greater than 10 mm and a thickness greater than 1 mm.

* Note: Data analysis service is not included in the list prices.

Highlights: High Quality Data, Competitive Pricing, Technical Support by Scientists.

Analytical Service Minimum order requirement: $250 per order. A $200 handling fee will be applied if order is below $250.
