Isotope and temperature effects on the hyperfine interaction of atomic hydrogen in liquid water and in ice

TL;DR: The Fermi contact hyperfine interaction of hydrogen isotopes in liquid and solid water is below the vacuum value, shows a mass dependence, and has a negative temperature coefficient in the liquid as mentioned in this paper.

Size of sodium dodecyl sulphate micelles in aqueous NaCl solutions as studied by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, the changes in size and shape of the micelles formed by 0.28 M sodium dodecyl sulphate in aqueous solution are studied as a function of added sodium chloride concentration at 303 K, by using positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (LS).
Journal ArticleDOI

The experimental determination of the qPs contact density in matter

TL;DR: The electron density at the positron is a relevant quantity for characterizing a positron-electron correlated pair in matter, since both the intrinsic decay rates in triplet and singlet states and the fine structure interval depend on it as discussed by the authors.

To the theory of Ps formation. New interpretation of the e+ lifetime spectrum in water

TL;DR: In this article, a brief review of ideas behind the blob model is given, and for the first time positron annihilation lifetime spectrum in liquid water is deconvoluted without a usage of the multi-exponential approach, but on the bases of blob model, which suits well for description of the intratrack processes including positronium (Ps) formation in condensed molecular media.

Formation and stability of a complex of positronium with nitrobenzene from the study of the magnetic field effects

TL;DR: The magnetic quenching of the triplet state of positronium (o•Ps) was studied in pure n•hexane at 294 K, by applying an external magnetic field.

Inhibition and enhancement of positronium formation in aqueous solutions from the Doppler broadening of annihilation peaks

TL;DR: In this article, the Doppler broadened positron annihilation line shapes have been determined in aqueous solutions of various inhibiting and enhancing agents of positronium (Ps) formation: H+aq, NO−3, S2−, SCN− and the halide ions.

Utility of combining radiation line shape analysis and lifetime spectroscopy in positron annihilation studies in liquids

TL;DR: In this paper, the utility of the annihilation radiation line shape analysis (DBARL) combined with positron lifetime spectroscopy is explored using some solutes in aqueous solutions.

Contact density and hyperfine splitting of positronium in naphthalene

TL;DR: In this article, a phenomenological model for the hyperfine splitting of positronium in naphthalene has been presented, where the perturbation effect of the medium on the splitting is not interpretable as a change of the contact density alone, since on passing from vacuum to the medium, the contact and the splitting do not scale together.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the duree de vie d'annihilation du positon et elargissement Doppler de la raie d´annihilation utilises dans l'etude des effets de la temperature and des solvants polaires sur les reactions chimiques de Ps avec divers radicaux piperidinoxyle-1 and pyrrolidinoxide-1.
