Correlated wave functions for electron–positron interactions in atoms and molecules

JA Charry Martinez, M Barborini… - Journal of Chemical …, 2022 - ACS Publications

molecules before its annihilation with an electron. Such metastable matter–positron …

Two positrons can form a chemical bond in (PsH) 2

D Bressanini - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
We show that two positrons can form a chemical bond between two otherwise repelling ions,
similar to what happens to two hydrogen atoms forming a hydrogen molecule. Two …
