Polarization detection of trapped electrons via interaction with polarized atoms
1971
Electrons were trapped in an electrostatic quadrupole trap with superimposed homogeneous magnetic field. The electrons were polarized by spin exchange with a polarized atomic beam. The free trapped electron polarization was converted to a change in the electron translational energy via spin-dependent inelastic collisions with the atomic beam, and the electron translational temperature was monitored. Discussed are the development of this variation of the measurement technique, characteristics of electron storage, and the electron-polarized atom inelastic interaction as a function of electron temperature and time. The method has been applied to the detection of the (g-2) resonance of free, st…
The simulation of morphology of dissimilar copper–steel electron beam welds using level set method
2010
Abstract In present work, the simulation of morphology and velocity field in dissimilar electron beam welds formed between the metals with limited solubility is described by the example of copper–stainless steel couple. Finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5 has been employed due to its flexibility in solving of coupled multiphysical problems. The domination of horizontal flows allows reducing the model to two dimensions. Level set method has been used to determine the position of the interface between immiscible components basing on coupled heat transfer and fluid flow pseudo-stationary solution. The evolution of the shape, fluid flow and mixing pattern in function of operational …
Peculiarities of imaging one- and two-dimensional structures in an emission electron microscope. 1. theory
2000
Local changes in work function cause deviations of the electrical microfield near a sample surface as a result of the uniform accelerating field distribution between the sample (cathode) and the extractor electrode (anode). This results in a change in the electron trajectories. As a consequence, the microscope image shows remarkable changes in position, size, intensity and lateral resolution of distinct details, which can be quantitatively described by the calculations presented here. Analysing these effects in the image gives an opportunity to determine the real lateral size of the observed structures and the distribution of local contact potentials.
Dopant Contrast in Semiconductors as Interpretation Challenge at Imaging by Electrons
2007
Mechanisms responsible for the contrast between differently doped areas in semiconductors, which is observed in electron micrographs, is discussed as regards the key factors determining the sign and magnitude of the contrast. Experimental data obtained by means of the scanning electron microscope (SEM), scanning low energy electron microscope and photoelectron emission microscope are reviewed together with hints following from them for compilation of a model of the contrast mechanism.
<title>Electronic excitations and defects in fluoroperovskite LiBaF<formula><inf><roman>3</roman></inf></formu…
2003
A survey of the present situation with respect to knowledge of lattice defects, electronic excitations, such as excitons and localized excitons, as well as energy storage and transfer phenomena in LiBaF3 crystals is given. Both phenomenological models and experimental interpretations of optical absorption bands, tentatively associated with F-type (electron) centers created by X-ray or electron irradiation, is reviewed. Interpretation of three radiative processes (super-fast core-valence transitions, slow trapped exciton luminescence and luminescence of structure defects) observed in undoped LiBaF3 crystals is analyzed with respect to practical application. Attention is paid to the behavior …
High spatial resolution analysis of the iron oxidation state in silicate glasses using the electron probe
2018
The iron oxidation state in silicate melts is important for understanding their physical properties, although it is most often used to estimate the oxygen fugacity of magmatic systems. Often high spatial resolution analyses are required, yet the available techniques, such as μrXANES and μMössbauer, require synchrotron access. The flank method is an electron probe technique with the potential to measure Fe oxidation state at high spatial resolution but requires careful method development to reduce errors related to sample damage, especially for hydrous glasses. The intensity ratios derived from measurements on the flanks of FeLα and FeLβ X-rays (FeLβf/FeLαf) over a time interval (time-depend…
Coronary artery anomalies: incidence, pathophysiology, clinical relevance and role of diagnostic imaging
2006
Conventional coronary angiography is the gold standard for the diagnosis of coronary artery anomalies. Coronary anomalies are relatively rare findings in patients undergoing conventional coronary angiography for suspected obstructive coronary artery disease. Recently, the increasing performance of diagnostic techniques, such as electron beam tomography (EBT), magnetic resonance (MR) and, more recently, multislice computed tomography (MSCT), has enabled their application to cardiac imaging. MSCT, in particular, has a prominent role in coronary imaging due to its spatial and temporal resolution and three-dimensional capabilities. We report the incidence and pathophysiology of coronary artery …
Mechanism of pulsed electron irradiation of the PLZT X/65/35 ceramics
2005
The comprehensive study of high-current pulsed electron irradiation effect on the structure and lattice dynamics as well as Atomic Force (AFM) and Laser Confocal Scanning microscope (LSCM) surface imaginaries of PLZT 8/65/35 ceramics have been performed. X-ray powder diffraction studies show the transformation of the cubic perovskite Pm-3m (Z = 1) into orthorhombic Pmmm (Z = 1) structure for the sample irradiated by one pulse (dose 6 × 1014 electrons/cm2) and into cubic Pm-3m with increased lattice volume and more ordered structure at irradiating by 10 and 100 pulses (dose 6 × 1015 and 6 × 1016 el/cm2). A consequence, the changes of number, intensity and phonon modes position occur in Raman…
Effect of Penetrating Irradiation on Polarization Reversal in PZT Thin Films
2006
Spatially non-uniform imprint behavior induced by X-ray synchrotron, electron, and neutron irradiation has been investigated in Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 thin films. The obtained effects have been explained as a result of acceleration of the bulk screening process induced by irradiation. It has been shown that the spatial distribution of the internal bias field is determined by the domain pattern existing during irradiation. The microstructural changes in the structural characteristics during fatigue cycling have been revealed by high resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments. Their correlation with the evolution of the switching characteristics has been revealed and discussed.
