Positron lifetime measurement is used for the measurement of vacancy-type
defect of semiconductor in materials field. This is an all-in-one positron
lifetime measurement system with measurement device and power supply. In
the lifetime measurement, the life time is calculated by using 3GSPS, which
is imported by high-speed pulse signal from two BaF2 scintillators. In
the Coincidence Doppler Broadening(CDB), the 2D histogram is made by wave
height value of coincidence from two Ge semiconductor detectors. Additionally,
these devices can be combine to be measured by AMOC, which is the correlation
of lifetime and momentum. |

2. Measurement mode (There are 5 measurement modes) |
(1) Lifetime mode
Lifetime (LT) mode is a mode in which two BaF 2 scintillation detectors
are measured at the same time, the time difference between the rise of
the two waveforms is taken, and positron lifetime measurement is performed. |
