Abstract
BaTiO3, was studied by positron lifetime spectroscopy in static electr ic field. The strength of the field was varied from 0 up to 10(4) V/cm . Two characteristic points were found at 4500 V/cm and at 8500 V/cm. These field strengths were related to subsequent ordering precesses of the crystal. Additional temperature dependent measurements were perfo rmed in the 70-310 K range to confirm the interpretation of the two po sitron lifetimes. The two expected phase transitions were observed and these measurements showed that positrons are trapped by Ha vacancies.
