Planetesimal were the first planetary objects to form in the solar system, which later grew to make the proto-planets. Most of these bodies were differentiated as a result of internal heating. Several differentiated bodies have, then, been accreted followi ...
Temperature-dependent sum-frequency scattering spectroscopy is used to study the properties of hexadecane and dodecane oil droplets in water. The sum-frequency scattering spectra contain vibrational bands that correspond to the symmetric and antisymmetric ...
Recent years have witnessed fast advancements in near ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron (NAPP) spectroscopy, which is emerging as a powerful tool for the investigation of surfaces in presence of vapors and liquids. In this paper we present a new chamber ...
Experimental studies of the novel snowflake divertor concept (D. Ryutov, Phys. Plasmas 14 (2007) 064502) performed in the NSTX and TCV tokamaks are reviewed in this paper. The snowflake divertor enables power sharing between divertor strike points, as well ...
In recent years methods of creating 'hyperpolarized' substances have gained considerable attention in biomedical magnetic resonance and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is one of the most promising, especially for imaging applications. Here we present re ...
The thermal stability of amorphous ionic solids is usually attributed to kinetic considerations related to mass transport. However, there are a number of amorphous ionic solids, which have recently been described, whose unusual resistance to nucleation and ...
