Overview of the Cosmic Axion Spin Precession Experiment (CASPEr)
2020
An overview of our experimental program to search for axion and axion-like-particle (ALP) dark matter using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques is presented. An oscillating axion field can exert a time-varying torque on nuclear spins either directly or via generation of an oscillating nuclear electric dipole moment (EDM). Magnetic resonance techniques can be used to detect such an effect. The first-generation experiments explore many decades of ALP parameter space beyond the current astrophysical and laboratory bounds. It is anticipated that future versions of the experiments will be sensitive to the axions associated with quantum chromodynamics (QCD) having masses \({\lesssim }10^{…
CATALYTIC OXIDE COATINGS ON CERAMIC SUPPORTS.
2007
Thin porous oxide coatings composed of Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2 and ZrO2, respectively, on ceramic carriers have been produced by either a wash-coat procedure or by liquid coating followed by solidification. By dehydration and calcination of the supported ceramics the pore texture was stabilised. The thickness of the layer, its homogeneity, specific surface area, porosity and pore volume distribution have been shown to be controlled by the properties of the oxides deposited, and by the conditions of the coating procedures. On the basis of the results obtained, it is evident that porous oxide layers can be prepared with tailor-made and desired properties. The procedures described also permit the in…
