ABSTRACT: We have
analyzed the narrow components in the positron annihilation angular correlation
spectra of graphite-potassium intercalation with the theoretical formula, which
is extended from “topological quasi-positronium” model and discusses the
relation to the catalytic activity of hydrogens. One mechanism of the
soliton-catalytic effect is proposed.
