摘要
A new model is presented describing the annihilation of positronium in polymers. Ps is formed in the bulk and is trapped into the free volume holes with epithermal initial energy where it thermalizes towards its ground state. This model was verified by interpreting lifetime spectra in an amorphous cross-linked polyurethane. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
