Highlights from the ARGO-YBJ Experiment
2012
""The ARGO-YBJ experiment at YangBaJing in Tibet (4300m a.s.l.) has been taking data with its full layout since October 2007. Here we present a few significant results obtained in gamma-ray astronomy and cosmic-ray physics. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of gamma-ray emission from point-like sources (Crab Nebula, MRK 421), on the preliminary limit on the antiproton\\\/proton flux ratio, on the large-scale cosmic-ray anisotropy and on the proton-air cross-section. The performance of the detector is also discussed, and the perspectives of the experiment are outlined.""
Re-entrance phase formation of CeSb thin films
2001
Abstract We report the epitaxial growth of (1 0 0)- and (1 1 1)-oriented CeSb thin films on Al 2 O 3 (1 1 2 0) and (0 0 0 1) substrates by means of molecular beam epitaxy. Depending on the overall Sb-to-Ce flux ratio and the molecular state of Sb x , we observe a re-entrance behavior in the phase formation and orientation of CeSb on Al 2 O 3 (1 1 2 0) . This behavior is shown to exhibit, in some respect, similarities to III–V compound growth, but also more complexities due to the instability of the rare earth component against oxidation. A geometric orientation selection model is suggested which reproduces the observed re-entrance behavior as well as the overall CeSb growth rate.
