31. Oxidized channels in Si may also be used. Although these materials are not porous, they exhibit positronium formation and cooling mechanisms that are essentially the same as those observed in porous films. S. Mariazzi, P. Bettotti, S.

34. By "damage" we mean here anything that can reduce either the amount of Ps produced or its subsequent lifetime [D. B. Cassidy, K. T. Yokoyama, S. H. M. Deng, D. L. Griscom, H. Miyadera, H. W. K. Tom, C. M. Varma, and A. P. Mills, Phys. Rev. B PLRBAQ 1098-0121 10.1103/PhysRevB.75.085415 75, 085415 (2007)]; in general, the physical structure of the samples is not affected by radiation.
