Notes:
The positron remoderation efficiency of self-supported copper films 1000–5000 Å thick was measured by a slow positron beam at impinging positron energies between 1 and 20 keV. A maximum efficiency of 11.5 (−1+3)% was found. It has been shown that copper films are easily produced. A relatively low temperature annealing ((similar, equals)450 °C) is needed to remoderate positrons. These properties make them good candidate for positron beams with brightness enhancement stage in transmission geometry. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
