چکیده
A package to calculate the momentum densities measured in positron annihilation and Compton scattering experiments is presented. The theoretical background to the method and the unique features of the package are explained. The application of the method to a variety of systems is illustrated with examples chosen to highlight how such calculations have been essential to the interpretation of the experiments. 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Electron-positron momentum density in T12Ba2CuO6
We present calculations of the electron-positron momentum density for the high-Tc superconductor TI2Ba2CuO6, together with some preliminary two-dimensional angular correlation of the annihilation radiation (2D-ACAR) measurements. The calculations are based on the first-principles electronic structure obtained using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) and the linear muffin...
متن کاملD ec 1 99 9 FIRST - PRINCIPLES CALCULATIONS OF POSITRON ANNIHILATION IN SOLIDS
We present first-principles approaches based on density functional theory for calculating positron states and annihilation characteristics in condensed matter. The treatment of the electron-positron correlation effects (the enhancement of the electron density at the positron with respect to mean-field density) is shown to play a crucial role when calculating the annihilation rates. A generalize...
متن کاملCalculation of positron states and annihilation in solids: A density-gradient-correction scheme.
The generalized gradient correction method for positron-electron correlation effects in solids @B. Barbiellini et al., Phys. Rev. B 51, 7341 ~1995!# is applied in several test cases. The positron lifetime, energetics, and momentum distribution of the annihilating electron-positron pairs are considered. The comparison with experiments shows systematic improvement in the predictive power of the t...
متن کاملTheoretical and experimental study of positron annihilation with core electrons in solids.
A theory for calculating the momentum distribution of annihilating positron-electron pairs in solids is presented. To test the theory, momentum distributions are measured by the Doppler broadening of the annihilation radiation for several bulk metals and semiconductors, as well as for semiconductor alloys and for positrons trapped at vacancies in semiconductors. The theory is based on a two-par...
متن کاملQuantum Monte Carlo study of a positron in an electron gas.
Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the relaxation energy, pair-correlation function, and annihilating-pair momentum density are presented for a positron immersed in a homogeneous electron gas. We find smaller relaxation energies and contact pair-correlation functions in the important low-density regime than predicted by earlier studies. Our annihilating-pair momentum densities have almost zero...
