“…These can be dislocations or defects associated with them, such as jogs, vacancies [ 35 , 36 , 37 ], and vacancy–solute complexes for steel components (e.g., v-Cr (153 ps), v-Mn (152 ps), v-Cu (153 ps), and v-C (160 ps)) [ 38 , 39 , 40 ]. Moreover, similar positron lifetimes were found for martensite (159 ± 3 ps), bainite (164 ± 3 ps), pearlite (151 ± 3 ps), and austenite (149 ± 3 ps) steel structures [ 41 , 42 ] after different heat treatments. This implies that this lifetime cannot be unequivocally assigned to only one type of defect.…”
