Investigation of the local heating effect at the terminal part of a fast positron track sheds light on the accumulation of defects in a frozen medium close to its melting point. Estimations of the formation energies of the structural defects which may trap the Ps atom as well as a contribution of these defects to the enthalpy of fusion are obtained.
It is shown that in aqueous solutions a positronium atom is first formed in the quasi-free state, and, after 50-100 ps, becomes localized in a nanobubble. Analysis of the annihilation spectra of NaNO_3 aqueous solutions shows that the hydrated electron is not involved in the positronium (Ps) formation.
