Integrated modelling of neon impact on JET H-mode core plasmas

Yann Camenen, Michele Marin

Nuclear fusion reactor plasmas will need to exhaust a significant proportion of energy flux through radiative processes, to enable acceptable divertor loads. This can be obtained by line radiation from impurities, injected from the plasma edge. There are h ...

Laser photo-detachment combined with Langmuir probe in magnetized electronegative plasma: how the probe size affects the plasma dynamic?

Ivo Furno, Riccardo Agnello

Laser photo-detachment combined with a Langmuir probe (LP) is used to diagnose negative ion properties in electronegative plasmas. The technique relies on the combined use of a laser pulse and an LP. The laser pulse converts negative ions into electron-ato ...

Chemical inhomogeneities amongst first population stars in globular clusters Evidence for He variations

Carmela Lardo

Spreads in light element abundances among stars (also known as multiple populations) are observed in nearly all globular clusters. One way to map such chemical variations using high-precision photometry is to employ a suitable combination of stellar magnit ...

Searching for globular cluster-like abundance patterns in young massive clusters - II. Results from the Antennae galaxies

Carmela Lardo

The presence of multiple populations (MPs) with distinctive light element abundances is a widespread phenomenon in clusters older than 6 Gyr. Clusters with masses, luminosities, and sizes comparable to those of ancient globulars are still forming today. No ...

Molecular bonding with the RPAx: From weak dispersion forces to strong correlation

Nicola Colonna

In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. B 90, 125102 ( 2014)], we showed that the random phase approximation with exchange (RPAx) gives accurate total energies for a diverse set of systems including the high and low density regime of the homogeneous electron gas, th ...

Optical properties of small metal clusters

Chongqi Yu

This thesis is devoted to the study of the optical properties of small metal clusters and metal cluster organic compounds. For this purpose a ultra-high vacuum (UHV) experimental apparatus has been built which allows for the deposition of mass selected neu ...

Broadband extreme ultraviolet probing of transient gratings in vanadium dioxide

Jakob Grilj

Nonlinear spectroscopy in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft x-ray spectral range offers the opportunity for element selective probing of ultrafast dynamics using core-valence transitions (Mukamel et al., Acc. Chem. Res. 42, 553 (2009)). We demonstrate ...

What Are the Best Materials To Separate a Xenon/Krypton Mixture?

Berend Smit, Cory Matthew Simon, Rocio Mercado, Sondre Kvalvag Schnell

Accelerating progress in the discovery and deployment of advanced nanoporous materials relies on chemical insight and structure-property relationships for rational design. Because of the complexity of this problem, trial-and-error is heavily involved in th ...

Study of the Ne(3P2) + CH3F Electron-Transfer Reaction below 1 K

Andreas Osterwalder, Justinas Jankunas, Benjamin Bertsche

Relatively little is known about the dynamics of electron-transfer reactions at low collision energy. We present a study of Penning ionization of ground-state methyl fluoride molecules by electronically excited neon atoms in the 13 μeV–4.8 meV (150 mK–56 K ...

Partitioning of Si and platinum group elements between liquid and solid Fe-Si alloys

James Badro

Crystallization of the Earth's inner core fractionates major and minor elements between the solid and liquid metal, leaving physical and geochemical imprints on the Earth's core. For example, the density jump observed at the Inner Core Boundary (ICB) is re ...

Experimental tests of an advanced proton-to-neutron converter at ISOLDE-CERN

The suppression of isobaric contaminations is of growing importance for many scientific programs using radioactive isotopes produced at isotope separation on-line (ISOL) facilities, such as ISOLDE-CERN. A solid tungsten proton-to-neutron converter has been ...
