Positron lifetimes and momentum distributions of annihilating electron-positron pairs have been calculated for vacancies in ZnSb and Zn4Sb3. The calculated positron lifetimes for bulk ZnSb and Zn4Sb3 are 203 ps and 208 ps, and for VZn in ZnSb and Zn4Sb3 are 249 ps and 237 ps respectively. The calculated momentum distribution results indicate the VZn in both ZnSb and Zn4Sb3 has less characterization from elemental Zn. Using coincidence Doppler broadening spectra combined with lifetime measurements can reveal the vacancy structure in ZnSb and Zn4Sb3.
