Formation of Negative Hydrogen Ions in a Ne–H2 Hollow Cathode Discharge

The formation of negative hydrogen ions in a conventional hollow cathode discharge has been investigated. A mixture of Ne and H₂ proved to be more advantageous compared to pure hydrogen. The study has been performed by solving the electron Boltzmann equation, coupled with a system of balance equations for neon and hydrogen neutral and charged particles. The vibrational distribution function of hydrogen has been calculated. Our calculations show unusually high population of vibrationally excited hydrogen molecules in a Ne–H₂ mixture, which explains the high density of negative hydrogen ions under optimal conditions (total gas pressure of few Torr, hydrogen number mole fraction of 1–10% and discharge current of 10–100 mA). Line intensities originating from highly excited neon states vs. hydrogen pressure have been calculated and a comparison with existing experimental results has been made.     

Evaluation of a magnetically coupled microcavity hollow cathode discharge for atomic emission spectroscopy

A magnetically coupled microcavity hollow cathode discharge device was evaluated for its analytical potential as a boosted atomic emission source. A magnetic field using an electromagnet was applied perpendicular to the axis of the microcavity hollow cathode. The intensity of the atomic emission of copper, aluminum and the ionic emission of magnesium increased with increasing magnetic field until it reached a maximum. A further increase in the field strength did not lead to an enhancement of these emissions. The attainment of the maxima was attributed to the increase in the electron temperature and radial diffusion of the electrons from the center of the microcavity axis. Electron temperatures in the presence of the magnetic field calculated based on the semicorona model were shown to be proportional to the square of the reduced field strength. Further, these maxima were correlated to the energies of the upper levels of the transition studied.

Synthesis of Single‐Crystalline Spinel LiMn2O4 Nanorods for Lithium‐Ion Batteries with High Rate Capability and Long Cycle Life

The long‐standing challenge associated with capacity fading of spinel LiMn₂O₄ cathode material for lithium‐ion batteries is investigated. Single‐crystalline spinel LiMn₂O₄ nanorods were successfully synthesized by a template‐engaged method. Porous Mn₃O₄ nanorods were used as self‐sacrificial templates, into which LiOH was infiltrated by a vacuum‐assisted impregnation route. When used as cathode materials for lithium‐ion batteries, the spinel LiMn₂O₄ nanorods exhibited superior long cycle life owing to the one‐dimensional nanorod structure, single‐crystallinity, and Li‐rich effect. LiMn₂O₄ nanorods retained 95.6 % of the initial capacity after 1000 cycles at 3C rate. In particular, the nanorod morphology of the spinel LiMn₂O₄ was well‐preserved after a long‐term cycling, suggesting the ultrahigh structural stability of the single crystalline spinel LiMn₂O₄ nanorods. This result shows the promising applications of single‐crystalline spinel LiMn₂O₄ nanorods as cathode materials for lithium‐ion batteries with high rate capability and long cycle life.

Amorphous carbon and graphene co-modified LiFePO_4 nanocomposite has been synthesized via a facile polyol process in connection with a following thermal treatment.Various characterization techniques,including XRD.Mossbauer spectra,Raman spectra,SEM,TEM,BET,O_2-TPO,galvano charge-discharge,CV and EIS were applied to investigate the phase composition,carbon content,morphological structure and electrochemical performance of the synthesized samples.The effect of introducing way of carbon sources on the properties and performance of LiFePO_4/C/graphene composite was paid special attention.Under optimized synthetic conditions,highly crystalized olivine-type LiFePO_4was successfully obtained with electron conductive Fe_2P and FeP as the main impurity phases.SEM and TEM analyses demonstrated the graphene sheets were randomly distributed inside the sample to create an open structured LiFePO_4 with respect to graphene,while the glucosederived carbon mainly coated over LiFeP04 particles which effectively connected the graphene sheets and LiFePO_4 particles to result in a more efficient charge transfer process.As a result,favorable electrochemical performance was achieved.The performance of the amorphous carbon-graphene co-modified LiFePO_4 was further progressively improved upon cycling in the first 200 cycles to reach a reversible specificcapacity as high as 97 mAh·g~(-1) at 10 C rate.     

Numerical study of chaotic oscillations in the electron beam with virtual cathode in the external non-uniform magnetic fields

In this Letter the results of theoretical investigations of the chaotic microwave oscillator based on the electron beam with a virtual cathode are presented. Nonlinear non-stationary processes in these electron systems are studied by means of numerical analysis of 2.5D model. It was discovered that the non-uniform external magnetic field value controls the dynamical regime of oscillations in the virtual cathode oscillator. The processes of the chaotization of output microwave radiation are described and interpreted from the point of view of the formation and interaction of electron structures (bunches) in the electron beams. The numerical results have shown that the investigated electron system with virtual cathode could be considered as a promising controlled source of wideband chaotic oscillations in the microwave range.
