Energy flow canalization of evanescent cylindrical-vector beams

2013

We analyzed ultra-confined vector beams with radial and azimuthal polarizations which are critically self-governed inside plasmonic metamaterials. We succeeded in the separation of polarization singularities in the fields at the nanoscale. The examined metamaterials are suitable for long-range transport of subwavelength Bessel beams without discernible blurring. These results open the door to develop integrated devices for applications such as the manipulation of polarization and angular momentum of surface-plasmon excitations.

Position-sensitive ion detection in precision Penning trap mass spectrometry

2009

A commercial, position-sensitive ion detector was used for the first time for the time-of-flight ion-cyclotron resonance detection technique in Penning trap mass spectrometry. In this work, the characteristics of the detector and its implementation in a Penning trap mass spectrometer will be presented. In addition, simulations and experimental studies concerning the observation of ions ejected from a Penning trap are described. This will allow for a precise monitoring of the state of ion motion in the trap.

Designed surface modes propagating along hyperbolic metamaterials

2013

We report on surface-wave propagation (SWP) that occurs in semi-infinite hyperbolic metamaterials whose optical axis is set in the interface plane. In practice it is implemented by a multi-layered metal-dielectric nanostructure that is cut normally to the layers. Our theoretical analysis shows that various conditions can be designed enabling distinct regimes of SWP. We concluded that hybridization of SWP polarization leads to tighter confinement near the interface as compared with conventional surface plasmon polaritons. By using the finite-element method (FEM), we demonstrate that the fields are enhanced on the walls of metallic films, and thus minimizing significantly its presence inside …

The ion-optical design of the MARA recoil separator and absolute transmission measurements of the RITU gas-filled recoil separator

2011

In this thesis work, the use of two complementary recoil separators for studies of nuclear structure via fusion-evaporation reactions are discussed. The design and the main ion-optical properties of the vacuum-mode recoil-mass separator MARA, intended for studies of nuclei with N Z close to the proton drip-line, are presented. MARA (Mass Analysing Recoil Apparatus) consists of a magnetic quadrupole triplet followed by an electrostatic de ector and a magnetic dipole. The working principle of MARA is discussed and the reasons for the choice of the optical parameters of the elements are given. The performance of MARA for di erent kind of fusion reactions has been studied with Monte Carlo simul…

The MARA-LEB ion transport system

2020

A low-energy branch is under development for the MARA vacuum-mode recoil separator at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä. This development will allow for the study of proton-rich nuclei through laser ionisation spectroscopy and mass measurements. After stopping and extraction from a buffer gas cell, the ions of interest will be accelerated and transported to dedicated experimental setups by an ion transport system consisting of several focusing, accelerating and mass-separating elements. This article presents the current design and simulations for the ion transport. peerReviewed
