Abstract
Four samples of nominally pure KCl crystals and doped with Zn2+ impurities are grown by the Czochralski method and characterized by X-ray diffraction and Proton Induced X-ray Emission techniques. Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS) is performed to obtain information on the cation vacancy type defects and their evolution under doping. The results of the PALS experiment indicate that doping KCl by Zn2+ ions, at first increases the concentration of mono vacancies and in the second stage leads the creation of divacancy sites. Coincidence Doppler Broadening Spectroscopy (CDBS) is carried out to obtain the chemical environment of positron annihilation sites. The results of CDBS show that cation vacancies have a significant role in the annihilation process. An interesting observation is the participation of Zn2+ cations in the positron annihilation process which confirms that positrons are not completely localized on the anion sites. The internal consistency between the results of PALS and CDBS experiments is also clarified.

Abstract
Hydrocarbon polymers, O-containing, F-containing and Cl-containing polymers are comprehensively studied by Coincidence Doppler Broadening Spectroscopy (CDBS). It is shown that for polymers with different chemical structure, CDBS results can effectively distinguish polar groups CO, CCl, and CF. For polymers with similar chemical structure, the intensity of the element-specific peak in the CDBS ratio curve is dependent not only on the fraction of free positrons, but also on the content of characteristic atom in polymer repeated unit, and the polarity of the polymer molecule. For polymers containing several different polar groups, such as PCTFE (CF & CCl) and PFA (CF & CO), whether the element-specific peak appears or not depends on the amount of the polar groups and its positron capture ability. This work may provide insights into potential applications of CDBS for studying complex polymer systems.

Abstract
The present work studied the role of the polar group unconjugated oxygen on the inhibition of positronium (Ps) formation in two binary blends made from a set of chosen constituent polymers with polar and weakly polar groups (nonpolar). The polymer blend samples of PVC-EVA and PVC-SAN were investigated by coincidence Doppler broadening and positron lifetime techniques. The strong polar acetate group in the EVA contributed to positron annihilation with electrons of unconjugated oxygen (-C(+)=O(-)) as revealed by the momentum distribution curves peaking around 17 P(L) (10(-3) m(0)c). The ortho-Ps intensity indicated the unconjugated oxygen shows about a 28% Ps reduction even in the presence of a strong Ps inhibiting halogen (Cl(-)). In contrast, this effect was not seen in the PVC-SAN blends since SAN contains a weakly polar (nonpolar) acrylonitrile group (C≡N). Our results indicate the chlorine of PVC in the blends is a major contributor to Ps inhibition through the formation of a (Cl(-)-e(+)) bound state but the unconjugated oxygen in EVA of the PVC-EVA blend also plays a similar, but lesser, role.
