Positronium formation in room temperature ionic liquids
Positron lifetime measurements and age-momentum correlation measurements were performed for several room temperature ionic liquids to investigate free electrons through positronium (Ps, a bond state of an electron and a positron) formation. Ps formation is well explained by the spur reaction model 1 for insulators. It is similar to the geminate recombination of cations and free electrons. An injected positron forms spurs (cations and excess electrons) and thermalizes at the terminal spur where the positron has a chance to form Ps with one of excess electrons. When positrons and/or electrons are localized somewhere, their mobility becomes much smaller and Ps cannot be formed usually.
