Characterization of SiC and Si<Subscript>3</Subscript>N<Subscript>4</Subscript> nanoparticles and their aqueous dispersions

Nanoparticles of SiC and Si₃N₄ were previously used to obtain electroless NiP/particles nanocomposites. The incorporation process was very different, depending on the particle: SiC tended to agglomerate and had a high incorporation level; Si₃N₄ particles were not aggregated, but their incorporation level was very low. To try to explain these differences, the particles and their aqueous dispersions were characterized. Although the as-received products were both oxidized and of the identical mean size, results showed that the size distributions and the surface oxidation products were rather different. The zeta potential in water dispersions was similar and negative for both particles but, as the electrolyte ions were introduced, it showed a different evolution: nitride particles retained a small negative charge and carbide was almost uncharged. The overall results obtained in this study explain the different behavior of both ceramic particles and provide possible solutions to improve their co-deposition with nickel.     

Research activities at the PALS research infrastructure

The Prague Asterix Laser System (PALS) Research Infrastructure (RI) in Prague, one of only four kJ-class laser facilities in EU, has been offering its beam time to European researchers for already 14 years, since 2004 in the framework of the LASERLAB-Europe consortium. Till June 2014, the PALS RI has provided 4313 experimental days for a total of 41 projects with 303 international users from 42 different research institutions. Its principal experimental facility is a terawatt sub-ns iodine laser (1315?nm) with an optional plasma-based zinc XUV laser (21.2?nm), and an auxiliary Ti:Sapphire fs laser (1?J, 70?fs) exploited for femtosecond plasma probing and experiments with synchronised femtosecond and sub-nanosecond laser pulses at mean laser intensities of up to 30?PW/cm². The lasers are equipped with several target facilities and rich sets of instruments for both active and passive plasma diagnostics. The PALS main research areas include development and applications of secondary laser sources of high-energy ions and both coherent and non-coherent high-intensity XUV radiation, laboratory astrophysical and inertial fusion-relevant studies. In this paper, the main results having been achieved at PALS in the framework of LASERLAB-EUROPE international access activities during the last four years are highlighted.

Rotating Charged Hairy Black Hole in(2+1) Dimensions and Particle Acceleration

In this paper, we construct rotating charged hairy black hole in(2+1) dimensions for infinitesimal black hole charge and rotation parameters. Then we consider this black hole as particle accelerator and calculate the centerof-mass energy of two colliding test particles near the rotating charged hairy black hole in(2+1) dimensions. As we expected, the center-of-mass energy has infinite value.     

Level density and shape changes in excited sd shell nuclei

In the present calculation we have used the Monte Carlo method of generating collective spin and total energy of the nucleus for various configurations of the system with N ₀ single particle states available for n number of particles. The different configurations (arrangements of occupied single particle states) leading to a particular energy E and spin J are then collected to get the density of states for the given energy E and spin J. We find that if we use the cranked Nilsson model single particle states for the rotational frequency Ω = 0.0ħω, 0.05ħω and 0.1ħω there is a shift in the maximum density of states W _max with a tendency for the system to become more oblate or prolate depending on the shift in the maximum density of states as the angular momentum decreases or increases. The change in nuclear level density with collectivity, i.e. with the use of cranked Nilsson model single particle levels has been noticed.

Study of compound particle production in 84Kr-emulsion interactions at 1.7 A GeV

The characteristics of compound particle multiplicity distribution and multiplicity correlations between the compound particle and the grey particle, black particle, shower particle and heavily ionized track particle are investigated in this paper. It is found that the average multiplicities of the grey particle, black particle, shower particle and heavily ionized track particle increase with an increase in the number of compound particles, which can be explained by the impact geometrical model. The compound multiplicity distribution is observed to obey a Koba-Nielson-Olesen (KNO) type of scaling law.
