Abstract
Synopsis
Due to the bulk electron capture from the molecular shell of fullerenes by incoming positron projectiles and a dephasing effect across the shell width, the positronium formation signal yields diffraction fringes in the target recoil momentum space. Our results show the variance in the separation and shape of the fringe pattern as a function of the fullerene size from C60 to larger C240.
