Abstract

Positron implantation profile in solids is very vital in understanding the process of positron annihilation in solids. In this work, a model for positron implantation profile in solids is presented; a computer program for computing and analyzing positron implantation profile in solids based on the model was developed and implemented. The program was used to compute and analyze positron implantation profile in aluminium, copper, steel and silicon. The results obtained revealed that the height of the positron implantation profile depends inversely on the incident positron energy while the implantation depth depends directly on the incident positron energy. Also, positron implantation profile depends directly on the nature of the solid. The results obtained in this work are in one to one agreement with the experimental positron implantation profiles in solids showing the predictability power of the model.
