Comparative studies of positron annihilation lifetime and coincident Doppler broadening spectra for a binary Cd-based quasicrystal and 1/1-approximant crystal

Journal Article Takagiwa, Y ; Kanazawa, I ; Sato, K ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We performed the positron annihilation lifetime and coincident Doppler broadening measurements for binary icosahedral quasicrystal Cd{sub 5.7}Ca and its 1/1-cubic Cd{sub 6}Ca and Cd{sub 6}Yb approximants. Since the obtained positron lifetimes are quite similar to one another, it is likely that the same type of structural vacancies exists in quasicrystal Cd{sub 5.7}Ca and 1/1-cubic Cd{sub 6}Ca and Cd{sub 6}Yb approximants. The vacancy-type defects are concluded to be surrounded mostly by Cd atoms in both quasicrystal Cd{sub 5.7}Ca and its 1/1-cubic approximant Cd{sub 6}Ca from the high-momentum Doppler broadening spectra. In addition, we studied the temperature dependence of the positron annihilationmore »« less

Electron-positron momentum distributions and positron lifetime in semiconductors in the generalized gradient approximation

Journal Article Panda, B K ; LiMing, W ; Fung, S ; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

The positron annihilation characteristics have been calculated taking the electron-positron correlation in the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The calculated electron-positron momentum distributions in Si along the [110] direction in the GGA scheme agree very well with the experiment. The comparison of anisotropies of the momentum distributions along different crystal directions with the theory shows that only the GGA scheme gives the exact values. The enhancement factor for the valence electrons in the electron-positron momentum density is found to be weakly dependent on the momentum. The positron lifetimes in group IV, III-V, and II-VI semiconductors agree very well with the previousmore »« less

THE USE OF "TUMOR" AND "BRAIN" PHANTOMS IN THE INTERPRETATION OF POSITRON ANNIHILATION AND UNBALANCE SCAN OF BRAIN TUMORS

Journal Article Jacobson, L E ; Miller, W N ; Hillsinger, W R ; ... - Am. J. Roentgenol., Radium Therapy Nuclear Med.

Positron annihilation and unbalance scans were made of a tumor in a brain phantom using a fixed concentration of As/sup 74/ in the brain phantom while varying the volume, concentration and position of the tumor phantom. Unbalance scanning is more sensitive than positron scanning. Unbalance prints appear when there is no discernible difference in the positron prints. In this study a 4 cc volume with a 15/1 ratio of concentrations could be detected on the unbalance scan at 2 cm to the right or the left of center. An 8 cc tumor volume was needed to give a discernible positronmore »« less

Towards accurate orbital-free simulations: A generalized gradient approximation for the noninteracting free energy density functional

Journal Article Luo, K. ; Karasiev, V. V. ; Trickey, S. B. - Physical Review B

For orbital-free ab initio molecular dynamics, especially on systems in extreme thermodynamic conditions, we provide the first pseudo-potential-adapted generalized gradient approximation (GGA) functional for the non-interacting free energy. This is achieved by systematic finite-temperature extension of our recent LKT ground state non-interacting kinetic energy GGA functional (Phys. Rev. B 98, 041111(R) (2018)). We test the performance of the new functional first via static lattice calculations on crystalline aluminum and silicon. Then we compare deuterium equation of state results against both path-integral Monte Carlo and conventional (orbital-dependent) Kohn-Sham results. The new functional, denoted LKTF, outperforms the previous best semi-local free energymore »« less
