Structural Relationships between Floating and Deposited Monolayers of Docosanoic Acid
1991
Floating docosanoic acid (behenic acid) monolayers in the SmI and SmH phase were deposited with the Langmuir-Blodgett technique onto thin polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and Formvar substrates and investigated by electron diffraction. The molecular packing of the monolayers on the substrates vary from those on the water surface and are different for different substrates. On PMMA four phases (H, SmB, SmI, SmL) have been identified, depending on the deposition conditions. While SmB and SmI are known for docosanoic acid on the water surface, H and SmL have only been unequivocally observed in other substances or on other subphases. The monolayer structure on Formvar was identical under all deposi…
Analysis of measurements of stopping powers of formvar, polyimide, polysulfone, and vyns for 3.6 to 10.5 MeV7Li ions
2002
The stopping powers of formvar, polysulfone, polyimide, and vyns for 7Li projectiles have been measured with the transmission technique and thin foil targets. The experimental data have been analyzed in terms of modified Bethe–Bloch theory to extract characteristic values of the mean excitation energy and Barkas effect parameter, as well as to study the effects of including a single effective charge parameter. Results of this investigation are in general supportive of the outcomes of earlier similar studies with protons and α-particles traversing the same target materials in the sense that previously reported trends in projectile-dependent behavior of values of mean excitation energy and Ba…
The quality factor of a superconducting rf resonator in a magnetic field.
2010
The quality factor of a superconducting NbTi resonator at 1.6 MHz in a magnetic field up to 1.2 T as well as its temperature dependence is investigated. A hysteresis effect in the superconducting surface resistance as a function of the magnetic field is observed. An unloaded Q-value of the resonator of 40,500 is achieved at 3.9 K. It is shown that this Q-value is limited by dielectric losses in the FORMVAR insulation of the coils wire. The details of the Q-value optimization are discussed. In the temperature dependence of the Q-value a steep decrease is observed above T approximately = 7.5 K. Finally, the implications of these measurements for real trap experiments are discussed in detail.
