PLRF code for fitting of positron lifetime spectra


Main features:
  • Description of the PLRF code can be found in the paper
    J. Čížek, Acta Physica Polonica A, 137, 177-187 (2020) .
  • Multiple positron lifetime spectra can be fitted simultaneously.
  • Positronium (Ps) contribution is considered as a double exponential component consisting of short lived para-positronium (p-Ps) and long lived ortho-positronium (o-Ps) component. Ratio of o-Ps and p-Ps contribution can be constrained.
  • Several models were implemented into the PLRF code:
    • independent exponential components
    • simple trapping model
    • diffusion trapping model.
    Physically relevant parameters of the model are varied to get best agreement with experimental positron lifetime spectra.
