Abstract

A method to determine the vacancy formation energy E_v from the measurement of the Doppler broadening of annihilation radiation is reported. The S parameter for the trapped positrons S_v that is necessary for the analysis is determined independently by using the positron annihilation age-momentum correlation technique. The method is applied to indium, whose E_v is difficult to measure by the usual Doppler broadening measurement, because the S_v is not determined clearly due to the absence of the saturation trapping of the positrons. The E_v determined is 0.48±0.02 eV.
