Positron Annihilation Lifetime

Tunable mesoporous silica films were prepared though a sol-gel process directed by the self-assembly of various triblock copolymers. Positron annihilation γ-ray energy spectroscopy and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) based on intense pulsed slow positron beams as well as ellipsometric porosimetry (EP) combined with heptane adsorption were utilized to characterize the open porosity/interconnectivity and pore size distribution for the prepared films. The consistency between the open porosities was examined by the variations of orthopositronium (o-Ps) 3γ annihilation fractions and the total adsorbed volumes of heptane. The average pore sizes deduced by PALS from the longest-lived o-Ps lifetimes are in good agreement with those by EP on the basis of the Barrett–Joyner–Halenda model, as indicated by a well fitted line of slope k = 1. The results indicate that the EP combined with heptane adsorption is a useful method with high sensitivity for calibrating the mesopore size in highly interconnected mesoporous films, whereas PALS is a novel, complementary tool for characterizing both closed and open pores in them.

A new method of analysis of PALS spectra of porous materials is proposed. The model considers both the thermalization process of positronium inside the pores and the pore size distribution. The new model is fitted to spectra of mesoporous silica MCM-41 and MSF. The resulting parameters are compared with parameters obtained from fitting the “conventional” models, i.e. a sum of exponential components with discrete or/and distributed lifetimes.
