Abstract
The positron lifetime was measured in cadmium in the temperature range between 80 K and 500 K. For the first time a plateau was observed by this method in polycrystalline samples. The obtained data are well explained by depletion of shallow traps forT≤180 K and by self-trapping in the prevacancy region.
