Posithôt Technologies

Innovative technologies, directly issued from fundamental science developments

Measuring defects inside the matter

POSITHÔT has a technology allowing to quantify the absence of matter inside the matter.

In particular :

  • The space between atoms and molecular chains;
  • The proportion of missing atoms in the crystalline and amorphous structures.

COMPLEMENTARITY

With existing solutions

The existing analysis techniques

The existing analysis systems on the market allow to measure the composition of materials.

The POSITHÔT systems offer solutions for defect analysis inside materials complementary to solutions currently on the market.

 PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY

From these positrons generators, POSITHÔT develops a range of R&D and surface control instruments. POSITHÔT generators deliver between 50 and 200 times more positrons than the radioactive sources. A version producing 1000 times more positrons is under construction. This flow is comparable to the one obtained using a nuclear research reactors. The POSITHÔT systems have performances outside the current standards :

01

Precision

They allow to detect the absence of one single atom among a million atoms.

02

Sensitivity

the POSITHÔT technology allows measuring empty volumes from the size of one atom to cracks of about ten microns (this corresponds to the lack of about ten billion atoms)

03

Versatility

The POSITHÔT technology allows the measure of the defects in all types of materials independently of their structure or chemical nature

04

Long-lasting

The POSITHÔT technology does not damage the materials which are analyzed.
