Positron mobility in thermally grown SiO2 measured by Doppler broadening technique

The positron mobility in thermally grown SiO2 is deduced from Doppler broadening lineshape data on a metal-oxide-semiconductor sample for positrons implanted into the oxide layer. The fitted mobility is ∼13(10)×10−3 cm2/s V. This value is between that of the electron and hole mobilities in the same system and is two orders of magnitude smaller than the previous estimate from positron measurements.
