Enhance signal-to-noise ratio, slow positron coincidence Doppler Broadening method has been applied to study of characteristics of Nb 3 Ge superconductor film, which were performed from 20 K to 300 K sample temperature near Tc of it. In this investigation the numerical analysis of the Doppler spectra was employed to the determination of the shape parameter, S, defined as the ratio between the amount of counts in a central portion of the spectrum and the total counts of whole spectrum. The S-parameter values between 0.598 and 0.594 were decreased while the temperature were decreasing, that indicated the voids into the samples. The temperature dependence came from specific positron trapping rate into the vacancy-type defects. It is believed that the positrons annihilate with normal-electrons instead of super-electrons in the Nb3Ge superconductor.
It is described that the proton beam induces micro-size defects and electronic deep levels in luminescence Thin Film. Coincidence Doppler Broadening Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (CDBPAS) and Positron lifetime Spectroscopy were applied to study of characteristics of a poly crystal samples. In this investigation the numerical analysis of the Doppler spectra was employed to the determination of the shape parameter, S-parameter value. The samples were exposed by 3.0 MeV proton beams with the intensities ranging between 0 to ∼10 14 particles. The S-parameter values decreased as increased the proton beam, that indicates the protons trapped in vacancies. Lifetime τ 1 shows that positrons are trapped in mono vacancies. Lifetime τ 2 is not changed according to proton irradiation that indicate the cluster vacancies of the grain structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
