Radiation of de-excited electrons at large times in a strong electromagnetic plane wave

The late time asymptotics of the physical solutions to the Lorentz–Dirac equation in the electromagnetic external fields of simple configurations–the constant homogeneous field, the linearly polarized plane wave (in particular, the constant uniform crossed field), and the circularly polarized plane wave–are found. The solutions to the Landau–Lifshitz equation for the external electromagnetic fields admitting a two-parametric symmetry group, which include as a particular case the above mentioned field configurations, are obtained. Some general properties of the total radiation power of a charged particle are established. In particular, for a circularly polarized wave and constant uniform crossed fields, the total radiation power in the asymptotic regime is independent of the charge and the external field strength, when expressed in terms of the proper-time, and equals a half the rest energy of a charged particle divided by its proper-time. The spectral densities of the radiation power formed on the late time asymptotics are derived for a charged particle moving in the external electromagnetic fields of the simple configurations pointed above. This provides a simple method to verify experimentally that the charged particle has reached the asymptotic regime.     

Fluorinated Eu‐Doped SnO2 Nanostructures with Simultaneous Phase and Shape Control and Improved Photoluminescence

Fluorinated Eu‐doped SnO₂ nanostructures with tunable morphology (shuttle‐like and ring‐like) are prepared by a hydrothermal method, using NaF as the morphology controlling agent. X‐ray diffraction, field‐emission scanning electron microscopy, high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy are used to characterize their phase, shape, lattice structure, composition, and element distribution. The data suggest that Eu³⁺ ions are uniformly embedded into SnO₂ nanocrystallites either through substitution of Sn⁴⁺ ions or through formation of Eu‐F bonds, allowing for high‐level Eu³⁺ doping. Photoluminescence features such as transition intensity ratios and Stark splitting indicate diverse localization of Eu³⁺ ions in the SnO₂ nanoparticles, either in the crystalline lattice or in the grain boundaries. Due to formation of Eu‐F and Sn‐F bonds, the fluorinated surface of SnO₂ nanocrystallites efficiently inhibits the hydroxyl quenching effect, which accounts for their improved photoluminescence intensity.

A low-temperature high-pressure apparatus with a temperature control system

Abstract

A low-temperature high-pressure apparatus was designed using commercial cryogenic equipment. Pressures up to 1 GPa and temperatures down to 40 K can be obtained in a volume of up to 30 cm³. The apparatus is of the piston-cylinder type with a piston diameter of 45 mm, and the pressure can be varied at all temperatures, An adaptive temperature control system keeps the temperature inside the pressure cylinder constant to within ±0.1 K.     

Die Strahlensterilisation zur Bekämpfung von Pflanzensehädlingen in der Landwirtsehaft

Eines der wichtigstcn Probleme der landwirtschaftlichen Produktion ist der Schutz der Pflanzen vor Schadlingen, Erkrankungen und Unkraut. An der Lösung dieses äußerst wichtigen und gleichzeitig kompliziortcn Problems arbeiten viele Wissenschaftler und Praktiker, und es wurden auf diesem Gebiet bedeutende Erfolge erziclt.

Die Amvendung verschiedener Bekampfungsmethoden (agrotechnischer, biologischer,chemiseherusw.)führt zueiner wesentlichen Verringerung der Verluste, die der Lantlwirtschaft durch Scbädlinge zngefügt werden.

Ungeachtet desscn, daß auf dem Gebiet des Pflanzensehutzes große Fortschritte gemacht wurden, sind die Ernteverluste durch Schädlinge in der Landwirtschaft noch groß. So gehen der Landwirtschaft unseres Landes allein bei 8 Hauptkulturen jährlich Produkte im Wert von einigen Milliarden Rubel verloren. Nach statistischen Angaben der FAO der UNO vernichten Insekten und Nagetiero im Weltmaßstab jährlich eine solche Menge an Getreide, die zur Ernährung von 200 Millionen enschen fiber em Jahr ausreichen würde.

Daraus folgt, daß der Schutz der Pflanzen vor Schädlingen, Krankhcitcn und Unkraut eine der wichtigsten Quellen für die Ertragssteigerung landivirtschaftlicher Kulturen ist.     

Die Anwendung der Methode der zeitlich korrelierten assoziierten Teilchen (MEZKAT)

The TCAPM was developed to absolute and precise fission cross section measurement for neutron energies from 2 MeV up to 19 MeV. Experimental results of absolute fission cross section measurements on ²³³U, ²³⁵U, ²³⁸U, -²³⁷Np, ²³⁹Pu and ²¹²Pu are given. Furthermore the TCAPM is suitable for the application of inelastic scattering of neutrons by the analysis of element contents.     

Growth of interfacial debonding in notched two-dimensional unidirectional composite under stress and displacement controls

A simplified calculation method for study of the growth of interfacial debonding between elastic fiber and elastic matrix ahead of the notch-tip in composites under displacement and stress controlled conditions was presented based on the shear lag approach in which the influences of residual stress and frictional shear stress at the debonded interface were incorporated. The calculation method was applied to a model two-dimensional composite. An outline is given of the difference and similarity in the growing behavior of the debonding between the displacement and stress controls, and of the influences of the residual stresses, frictional shear stress, the nature of the final cut component (fiber or matrix) and sample length on the debonding behavior.     

Performance characteristics between horizontally and vertically oriented electrodes EHD ESP for collection of low-resistive diesel particulates

The novel electrohydrodynamically-assisted electrostatic precipitator (EHD ESP) was developed to suppress particle reentrainment for collection of low resistive diesel particulates. The collection efficiency was compared between vertically and horizontally oriented electrodes of the EHD ESP using 400 cc diesel engine. The particle size dependent collection efficiency was evaluated for the particle size ranging in 20 to 5000 nm using a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) and a particle counter (PC). Both horizontally and vertically oriented EHD ESP showed an excellent suppression of particle reentrainment. However, the horizontally oriented electrode EHD ESP showed significantly improved for the particle size of 300–500 nm in comparison with vertically oriented electrode EHD ESP, resulting in more than 90% collection efficiency for all particle size range. The EHD ESP has high potential especially for highly concentrated marine diesel engine emission control.     

Binary collision simulations of ion transmission through silicon single crystal films

Abstract

Computer simulation studies of the energy distribution of transmitted ions such as alpha-particles, He-, and B-ions through crystalline silicon, using the enhanced binary-collision cascade simulator MARLOWE, will be reviewed. The enhancement includes an additional electronic-energy loss (EEL) model which takes into account explicitly both the target electron density variation via the structure factors and the electron density of the projectile. Investigations of the stopping power for He ions and protons in silicon, at intermediate- and high-energies, based on the adapted EEL model and a velocity-dependent effective charge will be presented. The overall agreement between the calculated and experimentally determined stopping power data and the simulated and measured transmission spectra will be demonstrated. Effects of energy-loss straggling, core-electron contribution to the energy loss at high-energies and charge-state effects at low energies on the transmission spectra will also be discussed.     

Experimental Characterization of Sub-Millimetric Fluidic Actuators: Application to Boundary Layer Separation Control

Abstract

Sub-millimetric synthetic, continuous, and pulsed-jet actuators under identical conditions of generation are experimentally compared. Particle image velocimetry and hot-wire anemometry were used for measuring the velocity field. In the second part of the article, the interaction of these three types of actuators with a transverse external flow is characterized using the same experimental techniques. The studied plate is bended downstream from the actuator. Two angles are studied—0° and 28°. The efficiency of the fluidic action on the reattachment of the boundary layer is shown to be strongly dependant on the type of the jet.
