Positron annihilation in metals and alloys

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

This review article summarizes the present knowledge of positron-annihilation research in metallic substances. Including a short historical survey, the annihilation processes in metals and alloys are discussed and various physical conditions such as ordering processes, magnetic phenomena, liquid state, superconductivity and lattice imperfections are considered. Finally, the present state of theoretical investigation is given and the outlook for the new and very useful technique in metal physics is pointed out.
