PALSfit: A new program for the evaluation of positron lifetime spectra

Abstract PALSfit is a new Windows program for the analysis of positron lifetime spectra. PALSfit combines into one interactive Windows program the features of our previous PATFIT program package, such as data input, least‐squares fitting routines as well as graphical displays. A number of options are available, including constraints on positron lifetimes, intensities, background and area, and corrections for annihilation in the positron source. In addition, a number of new features have been included. The Windows user‐interface makes to a large extent the various features of the program self‐explanatory, and using the program is straightforward. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
