Abstract:

Ortho-positronium lifetime in alkanes and alcohols was measured in a broad range of temperatures. The results were compared with predictions of the bubble model. The bubble radius can be determined from the Tao-Eldrup equation as well as calculated using the model. The depth of potential well and surface tension are the main factors ruling the Ps bubble size. The best fit of the bubble model to the experimental data is obtained assuming the rectangular potential well to be 1 eV deep (equivalent to an infinite one broadened by 0.166 nm) and the microscopic surface tension increased about 3 times comparing to the macroscopic one.
