Abstract

Calculations are performed together with the summarization of published data on the measurement of positron annihilation rates in a number of simple substances. The information potential of different methods underlying positron annihilation spectroscopy is analyzed as applied to the study of condensed matter. The features of the mechanism of positron annihilation in metals are discussed. The possibility of investigating the electronic and defect structures of metals and alloys using the method of the time distribution of annihilation photons is considered.
