Abstract

Positron lifetime spectra and angular correlation curves for seven fine-grained powders of Fe, Co, Ni, and W are analyzed. From the lifetime data, the positron diffusion constant in metals atT=300°K was found to beD +=(1.0±0.5)×10−2 cm2 sec−1. Evidence is presented that positrons are trapped in metal surface states.
