Carbon coatings for soft-x-ray reflectivity enhancement

2007

In X-ray astronomical telescopes, the focalization of the radiation is achieved by means of grazing incidence Wolter I (parabola + hyperbola) optics in total reflection regime. In general, high density materials (e.g. Au, Pt, Ir, W) are used as reflecting coatings, in order to increase as much as possible the cut-off angles and energies for total reflection. However these materials present an important reduction of the reflectivity between 0.2 and 5 keV, due to the photoabsorption, and this phenomenon is particularly enhanced in correspondence of the M absorption edges (between 2 and 3.5 keV). In general, this determines a strong decrease of the telescope effective area. To overcome the pro…

Electromechanical properties of a disc‐type salient‐pole brushless DC motor with different pole numbers

2003

A brushless, permanent magnet, three‐phase disc‐type salient‐pole DC motor with co‐axial flux in the stator is considered. Electromechanical properties of a basic eight‐pole motor are compared with those for a 16‐pole one of the same volume, in order to contrast the two potential candidates for variable‐speed, low‐cost drives. As a basis of the comparative analysis, 3D FEM magnetic field modelling and circuit analysis considering an electronic commutator are employed. Increasing the number of poles results in unfavourable raising in the switching frequency. The eight‐pole motor construction has been shown in simulations to have higher efficiency and lower power losses than its 16‐pole count…

Hidden Oscillations in Electromechanical Systems

2016

In this paper an electromechanical system with two different types of motor is considered. It is shown that during the spin-up, the system with DC motor may experience unwanted vibration—the Sommerfeld effect. This is a well-known effect when the motor of electromechanical system gets stuck near the resonance zone instead of reaching its nominal power. The absence of this effect is demonstrated in the system with synchronous motor. Nowadays, there are many works devoted to the study of this effect in various systems. Here we discuss the Sommerfeld effect from the point of view of localization of the so-called hidden oscillations.

PEEM with high time resolution—imaging of transient processes and novel concepts of chromatic and spherical aberration correction

2006

The potential of time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) for imaging ultrafast processes and for aberration correction in full-field imaging is discussed. In particular, we focus on stroboscopic imaging of precessional magnetic excitations via XMCD-PEEM exploiting the time structure of synchrotron radiation (magnetic field pulse pump–X-ray probe). In a special bunch-compression mode at BESSY, a time resolution of about 15 ps has been obtained. Further, we discuss an all-optical pump–probe technique using femtosecond laser excitation. A highly promising alternative to stroboscopic imaging is an approach using time-resolved image detection. As a second application of time-resol…

Time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy of magnetic field and magnetisation changes

2003

Owing to its parallel image acquisition, photoemission electron microscopy is well suited for real-time observation of fast processes on surfaces. Pulsed excitation sources like synchrotron radiation or lasers, fast electric pulsers for the study of magnetic switching, and/or time-resolved detection can be utilised. A standard approach also being used in light optical imaging is stroboscopic illumination of a periodic (or quasi-periodic) process. Using this technique, the time dependence of the magnetic field in a pulsed microstrip line has been imaged in real time exploiting Lorentz-type contrast. Similarly, the corresponding field-induced changes in the magnetisation of cobalt microstruct…

Switching synchronization in one-dimensional memristive networks: An exact solution.

2017

We study a switching synchronization phenomenon taking place in one-dimensional memristive networks when the memristors switch from the high- to low-resistance state. It is assumed that the distributions of threshold voltages and switching rates of memristors are arbitrary. Using the Laplace transform, a set of nonlinear equations describing the memristors dynamics is solved exactly, without any approximations. The time dependencies of memristances are found, and it is shown that the voltage falls across memristors are proportional to their threshold voltages. A compact expression for the network switching time is derived.

The role of synchrotron self-absorption in the late radio emission of SN1993J

2001

The standard model for radio supernovae considers that the observed synchrotron radio emission arises from the high-energy shell that results from the strong interaction between the expanding supernova ejecta and the circumstellar medium. This emission is considered to be only partially absorbed by ionized thermal electrons in the circumstellar wind of the progenitor star. Based on a study of the radio light curves of the type II supernova SN1993J, we present evidence of synchrotron self-absorption. Our modeling of the radio light curves requires a large initial magnetic field, of about 30 Gauss, and the existence of an (initially) highly-relativistic population of electrons. We also show t…

Effects of non-uniform interstellar magnetic field on synchrotron X-ray and inverse-Compton γ-ray morphology of supernova remnants

2011

Context. Observations of SuperNova Remnants (SNRs) in X-ray and γ-ray bands promise to contribute important information to our understanding of the kinematics of charged particles and magnetic fields in the vicinity of strong non-relativistic shocks and, therefore, the nature of Galactic cosmic rays. The accurate analysis of SNR images collected in different energy bands requires theoretical modeling of synchrotron and inverse Compton emission from SNRs. Aims. We develop a numerical code (remlight) to synthesize, from MHD simulations, the synchrotron radio, X-ray, and inverse Compton γ-ray emission originating in SNRs expanding in a non-uniform interstellar medium (ISM) and/or non-uniform i…

Brewster angle microscopy and X-ray GID studies of morphology and crystal structure in monolayers of N-tetradecyl-γ,δ-dihydroxypentanoic acid amide

1997

First-order phase transitions from the low-density fluidlike phase to the condensed phase of monolayers of N-tetradecyl-γ,δ-dihydroxypentanoic acid amides at the air−water interface have been studied by π−A isotherms, Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), and synchrotron X-ray grazing incidence diffraction (GID). The thermodynamic differences between enantiomeric and racemic monolayers are too small to be measured. However, chiral discrimination is observable in the macroscopic domain morphology by BAM. The domains of the condensed phase grow dendritically. The characteristic shapes of domains of the pure S and R enantiomers are mirror images of each other. The domains of the racemic mixture are…
