Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.01(Metallurgy & Metallurgical Engineering)The hardness of Fe-Cu alloys is known to increase by the precipitation of Cu clusters during thermal aging. However, the mechanism of Cu precipitation has not been clarified yet. In this study, the positron lifetime and coincidence Doppler broadening techniques have been used to investigate the recovery behavior of lattice defects such as vacancies, vacancy clusters and dislocations as well as the diffusion behavior of Cu atoms of cold rolled and thermally-aged Fe-Cu alloys. Both vacancies and dislocations caused by cold rolling were reduced through the thermally aging process. Some dislocations remained even after aging at 550C, although the vacancies almost disappeared after aging at 300C. Cu clusters precipitate mainly on the dislocations, where is the sinks of the vacancies, caused by the diffusion of Cu atom and vacancies.

So far no standard procedure for the positron annihilation lifetime (PAL) technique has been established. A lack of the standards has led to difficulty in ensuring the equivalency and reliability of data from different laboratories. As a first, we conducted an interlaboratory comparison of PAL measurements for metal, polymer and silica glass with agreed procedures for data recording and analysis. The PAL data recorded at different laboratories were analyzed with a single lifetime component for the metal sample and with three components for the others, respectively. Based on the results of the reported positron and ortho-positronium lifetimes, the possible sources of the uncertainties in the PAL measurements are discussed. To reduce the effect of scattered rays, a lead shield was placed between the detectors. The uncertainty was significantly decreased, signifying that placing lead shields between the detectors effectively reduced the false signals due to the scattered rays.

Times Cited Count:48 Percentile:83.42(Physics, Applied)Interlaboratory comparison of positron annihilation lifetime measurements using synthetic fused silica and polycarbonate was conducted with the participation of 12 laboratories. By regulating procedures for the measurement and data analysis the uncertainties of the positron lifetimes obtained at different laboratories were significantly reduced in comparison with those reported in the past.

An interlaboratory comparison for positron annihilation lifetime measurements for pure nickel, polycarbonate (PC) and fused silica was performed. Based on the reported data of positron (for nickel) and positronium (for PC and fused silica) components, the uncertainties in the PAL measurements were estimated and their possible source was discussed.

So far no standard procedure for the positron annihilation lifetime (PAL) technique has been established. A lack of the standards has led to difficulty in ensuring equivalency and reliability of data from different laboratories. Recently, as a first step toward the standardization of the PAL technique, we conducted an interlaboratory comparison of PAL measurements for fused silica, polycarbonate and metal with agreed procedures for data recording and analysis. Based on the results of the reported lifetimes, possible sources of the uncertainties in the PAL measurements is probably caused by the backscattered -rays by other detectors. We succeeded to show that inserting shields between detectors can reduce the uncertainty.

For making a standard sample of positron annihilation measurement, quartz glass and polycarbonate were measured with 12 apparatus at AIST, Chiba Univ., Tokyo Univ., Tsukuba Univ., Touhoku Univ., Tokyo Gakugei Univ. JAEA, Nitto Denko, and Toray Research Center. By regulating procedure for the measurement and data analysis the uncertainties of the positron annihilation lifetime obtained at different laboratories were significantly reduced.
