PLEPS
Pulsed low-energy positron system
PLEPS is a unique tool for depth profiling of defects with positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy using a pulsed positron beam of variable energy.
Positron lifetime measurements allow the determination of the type and size of open volume defects (such as vacancies, vacancy-clusters, dislocations, grain boundaries etc., and free volumes in polymers) in a wide variety of materials and provide information on the defect concentration. Combined with a monoenergetic positron beam of variable energy, depth-resolved defect analysis becomes possible. [1]
