In recent years, coincidence Doppler broadening (CDB) of annihilation radiation measurement on polymeric system has been attracting special attention because of its unique elemental sensitivities in comparison to the traditional Doppler broadening measurement. In the present study, chitosan-Fe₃O₄ nanocomposite (CS-Fe₃O₄) and copper-chitosan (Cu-CS) complexes were prepared through a simple casting method from aqueous solution. The inclusion of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles in the chitosan matrix is confirmed by X-ray diffraction. In order to obtain data about atomic composition of the annihilation site in the CS composites, CDB measurements were carried out. The normalized CDB ratio curve, which is related to the ratio between the momentum density distribution for the studied samples and pure CS, was displayed to illustrate the variation of ion cores of different elements present in the chitosan matrix. Our result confirms a contribution of active group available in chitosan molecules to the features in the high-momentum region of the CDB ratio curve. The findings show that the local chemical environment of the annihilation site in chitosan-based complexes could be estimated by such positron annihilation spectroscopic investigation.

The standard form of the positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy results presentation are two plots of o-Ps lifetime and intensity as a function of external factor, e.g. temperature, pressure. Both o-Ps parameters change (stepwise) when in the medium phase transitions occur. For a more complete picture of the structural changes occurring in the matter we suggest to use an additional plot, in the coordinates, (τ₃, I₃). The hydrocarbons are selected to show the advantages following from the presentation of the results in the intensity-lifetime (INTI) plot.

This paper reports on the results of positron annihilation lifetime measurements of three organic liquids: benzene (C₆H₆), cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂), and methanol (CH₃OH). The lifetime spectra are acquired at different temperatures for non-degassed, degassed, and oxygen-saturated samples, at temperatures between 5°C and 25°C. The spectra are analyzed using a standard three-exponential model. The influence of oxygen on each lifetime and intensity component is discussed.

Studies of the interaction of polarized light or particles (including electrons, e¯, or positrons, e⁺) with asymmetric forms of matter has been of interest to scientists since the discovery of chirality and the subsequent development of particle physics. Researchers have been interested in e⁺ interactions with chiral molecules for decades, but with mixed and indecisive results. After reviewing the field, we speculated that the e⁺ or positronium (Ps) might interact differently with chiral pairs of large single crystals, i.e., the left-handed or right-handed asymmetric forms of the crystals - and subsequently observed significant differences in "free positron" annihilation and intensities in the evaluation of left-handed or right-handed quartz single crystals. This result may be understood to be a "particle stereorecognition" phenomenon. To extend this line of inquiry we crystallized mm scale L- or D-alanine crystals and performed positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy measurements using a ²²Na positron source. Alanine crystals were obtained via slow evaporation of water in a Dewar, or from water/acetone solvent in a temperature-controlled environment. These methods resulted in small ( ≈0.5 cm/side) or large ( ≥1.0 cm/side) crystals, respectively. While some intensity (I₂) results from left-handed and right-handed crystals varied in positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy analysis, the errors associated with the measurements do not indicate a stereorecognition of alanine via positron interactions.
