Ro-R The o-Ps lifetime, τo-Ps directly correlates with the radius of free volume holes and its intensity (Io-Ps) containsinformation about the free volume concentration (Jean, 1990). The average radius (R) of free volume holes on a quantum mechanical model developed by Tao (1972) and Eldrup et al. (1981) were proposed as follows: R is the average radius of the free volume holes. Ro is a constant = = (1.66

What is Positronium?e++ e-=Ps • Hydrogen-like bound state of an electron and a positron. • Exists in two states: p-Ps() and o-Ps() (1:3) • In vacuum: p-Ps lives 0.125 ns, o-Ps – 142 ns. • In Polymers o-Ps lifetime is quenched to some ns because of the pick-off annihilation.
