FERMI SURFACE AND POSITRON ANNIHILATION IN SODIUM

Journal Article · · Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D
The angular correlation of photons from positrons annihilating in polycrystalline sodium was measured. The results show two things: In comparison with a free-electron theory, the Fernd surface in Na is probably anisotropic by an amount of the onder of 5% of pr. The probability of annihilation is not very velocity dependent over the range of conduction-electron velocities in Na. This is not inconsistent with the calculations of either Daniel and Friedel or of Kahana. (auth)
