The cosmological ‘constant’ and quantization in five dimensions

Campbell?s theorem ensures that all vacuum space-times in general relativity can be embedded in five dimensions, with the 4D scalar curvature expressed as an effective cosmological ‘constant’ Λ which depends on the extra coordinate. This Λ-landscape can be used to give insight to certain physical phenomena, such as the big bang and quantized particles.     

Development of an improved method to perform single particle analysis by TIMS for nuclear safeguards

A method is described that allows measuring the isotopic composition of small uranium oxide particles (less than 1 μm in diameter) for nuclear safeguards purposes. In support to the development of reliable tools for the identification of uranium and plutonium signatures in trace amounts of nuclear materials, improvements in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) in combination with filament carburization and multiple ion counting (MIC) detection were investigated. The method that has been set up enables the analysis of single particles by a combination of analytical tools, thus yielding morphological, elemental and isotopic information. Hereby individual particles of certified reference materials (CRMs) containing uranium at femtogram levels were analysed. The results showed that the combination of techniques proposed in this work is suitable for the accurate determination of uranium isotope ratios in single particles with improved capabilities for the minor abundant isotopes.

金属杂质粒子诱导薄膜的损伤机理研究

薄膜内的杂质粒子极易诱导薄膜损伤,研究了金属粒子诱导HfO₂薄膜损伤的特征,并基于金属粒子的热力学过程进行了分析。金属粒子对激光的强烈吸收将引起薄膜的熔化、气化以及电离,从而引起薄膜的剥离和脱落,形成圆状坑点;金属粒子对激光的吸收、热扩散以及热膨胀效应与其尺寸等密切相关;从温升规律分析,在相同激光能量辐照下,粒子大小引起的温升不同,从而形成大小不一的点坑状破坏点,且存在一个温升效应最强的粒径,最易引起薄膜的损伤;从金属粒子激光等离子体的辐射效应分析,金属粒子的辐射谱主要集中在紫外部分,辐射光子能量比入射激光光子能量强,具有更强的电离能力,从而加剧了薄膜的去除。

Influence of particle orientation on retrieving cirrus cloud properties by use of total and polarized reflectances from satellite measurements

The influence of ice crystal orientation was investigated on retrieving cirrus optical thickness (τ) and aspect ratio of ice crystals (Q) from satellite measurements using the total and polarized reflectances at a wavelength of . We considered columnar and plate like hexagonal ice crystals whose long axes are randomly oriented in the horizontal plane (2D model) with some amplitude of oscillation expressed by a Gaussian distribution function with the standard deviation of σ.The retrieved τ and Q values significantly depend on the assumption of σ, in particular for the plate type. Furthermore, the relationship between σ and the retrieved values depends on the solar, satellite, and target geometries. In our case study, for one target area, τ value retrieved using the 2D model with σ=5° was approximately twice larger than that using the 2D model with σ=20°, while the retrieved Q value was not significantly influenced by σ. For another target area, the τ(Q) retrieved using the 2D model with σ=5° was about 1.5 (1.8) times larger than that retrieved using the 2D model with σ=20°.     

Variable reactivity and phase separation in patchy particle systems

ABSTRACT

Using statistical model, we study mechanisms of phase separation in a solution consisting of patchy particles, which are capable to form directed and saturated thermoreversible bonds. We focus on the impact of variable reactivity of patchy particles on the form of miscibility gap. We show that the variation of model parameters determining features of interparticle interaction makes it possible to obtain miscibility gaps of different types within the unified formalism. In particular, we uncover two different mechanisms of the formation of phase separation curves with lower critical solution temperature. The first mechanism is realised in the case of positive bonding energy; the second one can takes place when the energy of formation of two-bonded particles is lower than that for all other m-bonded ones. We conclude that the most interesting and non-trivial phase behavior is observed in the case of patchy particles with variable reactivity. Using rigorous statistical model, we uncover new mechanisms of phase separation in a solution consisting of patchy particles, which are capable to form directed and saturated thermoreversible bonds. This topic corresponds to state of the art in modern chemical physics. The results obtained shed light on interplay between features of non-isotropic interactions and phase behavior in both molecular and nanoparticle systems. We conclude that the most interesting and non-trivial phase behavior is observed in the case of patchy particles with variable reactivity.
