It is well known that the positron trapping rate obtained from positron lifetime measurements depends upon defect concentrations and trapping efficiency. If a distribution of open volume defects exists, a distribution of trapping efficiency also could be present. As an example, the calculation of trapping efficiency as a function of radius of defects in Al is presented. The correct explanation of defect size distribution obtained by positron lifetime measurements needs to introduce some additional assumptions about trapping efficiency.
