Abstract
The positron diffusion length L+ and electron and positron work functi ons (phi(-) and phi(+)) of the same sample of 3C-SiC epitaxially grown on a Si(001) substrate have been experimentally determined, together with re-emitted slow positron yields. The results allow conclusions on the quality and thickness of the 3C-SiC epitaxial layer as well as an assessment of the accuracy of earlier first-principles calculations o f positron-related materials properties.
