“…With a monoenergetic positron beam, the parameter ͑S͒ of positron annihilation can be measured as a function of the incident positron energy ͑E, keV͒, where S is defined as S = N s / N T , and N T and N s are the numbers of annihilation events occurring in the range of 503.8 keVՅ E ␥ Յ 518.2 keV or 510.24 keVՅ E ␥ Յ 511.76 keV, respectively. [8][9][10][11][12] Compared with the S of vacancy-free material, the S of a material may increase when open volume and/or density of vacancy-type defects increase. [8][9][10][11][12] In this article, we have found that the partial pressure of oxygen ͑P O 2 ͒ during cooling after growth, strain-state, and substrate material are very important in manipulating the density, diffusion, and distribution of V O s.…”

“…The S was analyzed by the VEPFIT method S͑E͒ = S s F s ͑E͒ + ͚ S i F i ͑E͒ and F s ͑E͒ + ͚ F i ͑E͒ = 1, where F s ͑E͒ is the fraction of positrons annihilated at the surface and F i ͑E͒ is that in the ith layer, S s and S i are the S parameters corresponding, respectively, to the annihilation of positrons on the surface and that in the ith layer. [9][10][11][12] Three layers were chosen for all samples except two layers for 0.1-BFO/SRO/STO, and one fixed boundary at 300 nm was used during simulation. BFO surfaces were studied using atomic force microscopy ͑AFM͒ and ferroelectric domains of the BFO films were studied using piezoelectric force microscopy ͑PFM͒.…”

“…1A that S parameters measured at higher energies for the sample B reasonably converge the bulk value, too. From fitting of the S(E) curves by VEPFIT [8] (solid lines in Fig. 1A) we obtained the bulk positron diffusion length L +,Gd = (270 AE 30) and (280 AE 20) nm for the samples A and B, respectively.…”

“…Eventually at high energies E > 22 keV some positrons penetrate into the Si substrate which leads to a further increase of S. The solid lines in Fig. 5a represent a fit performed using VEPFIT software package [11] assuming three layers (i.e. Pd cap, Nb layer and Si substrate).…”
