The n-type and p-type silicon samples were exposed by 40.0, 3.98 MeV proton beams ranging between 0 to $20.0{\times}10^{13}protons/cm^2$. Coincidence Doppler Broadening Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (CDBPAS) were applied to study of defect characteristics of p type and n type silicon samples. In this investigation the numerical analysis of the spectra was employed to the determination of the shape parameter, S, defined as the ratio between the amount of counts in a central portion of the gamma spectrum and the total counts of whole gamma spectrum. The S-parameter values strongly depend on the irradiated proton beam that indicated the defects generate more, rather than the energy intensity. 40 MeV irradiated proton beam in the n-type silicon at $20.0{\times}10^{13}protons/cm^2$ was larger defects than 3.98 MeV irradiated proton beam. It was analysis between the proton irradiation beams and the proton intensities of the irradiation. Because of the Bragg peak, SRIM results shows mainly in a certain depth of the sample to form the defect by the proton irradiation, rather than the defects to appear for the entire sample.

It is described that the proton beam induces micro-size defects and electronic deep levels in luminescence Thin Film. Coincidence Doppler Broadening Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy (CDBPAS) and Positron lifetime Spectroscopy were applied to study of characteristics of a poly crystal samples. In this investigation the numerical analysis of the Doppler spectra was employed to the determination of the shape parameter, S-parameter value. The samples were exposed by 3.0 MeV proton beams with the intensities ranging between 0 to ${\sim}10^{14}$ particles. The S-parameter values decreased as increased the proton beam, that indicates the protons trapped in vacancies. Lifetime ${\tau}_1$ shows that positrons are trapped in mono vacancies. Lifetime ${\tau}_2$ is not changed according to proton irradiation that indicate the cluster vacancies of the grain structure.

Enhance signal-to-noise ratio, Coincidence Doppler Broadening positron method has been applied to study of characteristics of BaSrFBr:Eu film sample. In this investigation the numerical analysis of the Doppler spectra was employed to the determination of the shape parameter, S, defined as the ratio between the amount of counts in a central portion of the spectrum and the total counts of whole spectrum. The films were exposed by 0, 3, 5, and 7.5 MeV proton beams ranging from 0 to $10^{13}$ ptls. The S-parameter values were increased as increasing the exposed time and the energies, that indicated the defects generate more.

The Characterization of $MgB_2$ Thin Film by Slow Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy Enhance signal-to-noise ratio, slow positron coincidence Doppler Broadening method has been applied to study of characteristics of $MgB_2$ superconductor film, which were performed at 30 K and 50 K sample temperature near Tc of it. In this investigation the numerical analysis of the Doppler spectra was employed to the determination of the shape parameter, S, defined as the ratio between the amount of counts in a central portion of the spectrum and the total counts of whole spectrum. The S-parameter values were increased then decreased while the positron implantation energies were increasing, that indicated the diffusion into the samples. The S-parameters of the anisotropic 1 ${\mu}m$ $MgB_2$ thin film which were implanted by positrons at 10 keV are 0.567 at 30 K and 0.570 at 50 K. It is believed that the positrons annihilate with normal-electrons instead of super-electrons in the $MgB_2$ superconductor.
