Abstract

The present measurement of positron annihilation lifetimes for the high-Tc superconductor (Bi0.92Pb0.17)2Sr1.91Ca2.03Cu3.06O10+δ or (Bi,Pb)-2223, as a function of temperature, has been inspired by our recent DBPARL (Doppler-broadened positron annihilation radiation line shape) finding of a step and minima in the region around Tc(R=0)=104 K, in the variation with temperature, of the fraction of low momentum electrons at the annihilation sites. The positron annihilation lifetime in the superconductor probes the number density of electrons at the annihilation sites. The present work observes a reduction of lifetime components in the Tc region. Significant changes in the lifetime components in other temperature regions have also been observed and discussed.
