Positron annihilation in a single TiO2 crystal

Positron annihilation in a single crystal of rutile (TiO2) is investigated by analysing the energies of the emitted gamma -rays. The anisotropy in the energy distribution for emission parallel and perpendicular to the crystal c axis is measured and found to be 2.3+or-0.3% for k=0, and it vanishes at k=3.7+or-0.3 mrad, where k is the resultant positron-electron momentum. The anisotropy is attributed to covalency of the oxygen 2p shell.
