In halide perovskites, electrons (holes) exist as electronic (hole) polarons, excitons, free and trapped electrons (holes). Six kinds of collisions could lead to annihilation of electron and hole, three of them involve polaron(s). In the…
We consider the electromagnetic production of positron in collision of heavy nuclei, with the simultaneously produced electron captured by one of the nuclei. This cross-section exceeds by about four orders of magnitude the cross-section of…

The conventional explanation for the 1.022 MeV decay of positronium in terms of the annihilation of an electron and its antiparticle is questioned because of the impossibility of proving experimentally that matter actually disappears.…
