This document summarizes work using a fast-swept Langmuir probe to observe the evolution of plasma parameters during magnetic reconnection experiments on the VINETA.II device. The probe measures electron temperature, density, and potential with 10 microsecond temporal and 1 cm spatial resolution. Profiles reconstructed from a transient plasma generated by electron guns show consistency with the expected magnetic field topology. An localized warmer and denser region is observed, corresponding to a current-carrying sheath. The in-plane electric field points away from this sheath and provides information on electron dynamics relevant to the reconnection rate. Further refinement of the data analysis is underway.

Abstract
VINETA.II is an experimental device suitable for the
investigation of magnetic reconnection in laboratory
plasmas. A fast-swept (100 kHz) Langmuir probe is used
to reconstruct electron temperature, electron density,
and plasma potential profiles with ~10 µs temporal
resolution and ~ 1 cm spatial resolution. The evolution of
both a transient plasma generated by an array of
electron guns can be observed within a 300 µs
timeframe. Reconstructed profiles are interpreted taking
into account the expected magnetic field topology and in
relation to their effect on the magnetic reconnection rate.

Motivation
● Magnetic Reconnection (M.R.) is the change of
topology of magnetic field lines in a plasma, associated
with the release of thermal and/or kinetic energy.
● Some aspects of the M.R. phenomenon are not
completely understood.
● Investigation in controlled laboratory conditions is
necessary in order to individuate key parameters and
mechanisms associated with M.R. events.
Data Interpretation
● All the data shown corresponds to the same time
instant (t = 181.4 µs) within a 300 µs discharge.
● All the profiles show a consistency with the magnetic
field X-topology produced by the axial conductors.
● Temperature, density, and current density profiles
clearly show the cross-section of a localized, current-
carrying, relatively denser and warmer region
(current sheath).
● The reconstructed in-plane E-field (~ 1 kV/m) points
away from the current sheath and gives information on
the electron dynamics, which is expected to affect the
reconnection rate.

Ferro2016
The document summarizes research on the electrocaloric effect in ferroelectric nanowires compared to bulk materials. Key findings include:
1) The maximum electrocaloric response is reduced in nanowires compared to bulk, due to decreased spontaneous polarization and dielectric constant from reduced correlation length.
2) In polydomain nanowires, both the BaTiO3 and KNbO3 nanowires lose their electrocaloric properties, as the electric field is not well aligned with polarization in each domain.
3) The largest electrocaloric response occurs near phase transition temperatures where crystal structure changes and entropy is maximized, as shown in simulations of the electrocaloric temperature change.
Electron spin resonance spectroscopy
Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy involves the absorption of microwave radiation by unpaired electrons in a sample when exposed to a strong magnetic field. This causes the electronic energy levels of atoms or molecules to split. The absorption frequency depends on the local environment and can provide structural information about paramagnetic species in the sample. ESR spectra are recorded by varying the magnetic field strength and detecting the resonance absorption frequency, which appears as a first derivative curve. Hyperfine interactions between unpaired electrons and neighboring atomic nuclei can split peaks, providing information about nuclei identities and distances. ESR is a non-destructive technique useful for studying free radicals, transition metals, and molecular structure and dynamics.

This document discusses a simulation of microwave cancer therapy using electromagnetic heating. It models an antenna geometry consisting of a thin coaxial cable with a ring-shaped slot cut into the outer conductor. The antenna operates at 2.45 GHz and is enclosed in a sleeve for hygienic purposes. The model couples the electromagnetic field generated by the antenna to a bioheat transfer equation to predict the steady-state temperature distribution in liver tissue for an input power of 10W. The results show the highest temperatures near the antenna, decreasing with distance due to blood perfusion cooling the tissue.
Lecture 03; Boltzmann equation by Dr. Salma Amir
This document discusses how temperature affects atomic spectroscopy. It explains that temperature determines the breakdown of samples into atoms and their distribution among ground, excited, and ionized states, influencing observed signals. The Boltzmann distribution describes the relative populations of energy states at thermal equilibrium. For example, in a 2600K acetylene-air flame, less than 0.02% of sodium atoms are in an excited state 3.371x1019 J above the ground state. A 10K rise increases the excited state population by 4%, significantly affecting emission intensity but not noticeably impacting absorption. Plasma is preferred for emission due to its stable high temperature.
Radiation/Particle Detectors
The document discusses different types of particle detectors, focusing on gaseous ionization detectors and scintillating detectors. Gaseous ionization detectors like ion chambers, proportional counters, and Geiger tubes use gases to detect ionizing radiation via ionization. Ion chambers simply collect charges, while proportional counters and Geiger tubes produce proportional and amplified signals via gas multiplication. Scintillating detectors use scintillator materials to convert radiation into light, which is then detected by photomultiplier tubes. Scintillating detectors include organic/inorganic crystals and plastics, and can measure radiation intensity and energy.
Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy
Electron spin resonance spectroscopy involves exciting unpaired electrons in a sample with microwave radiation under a strong magnetic field. When the microwave frequency matches the energy difference between electron spin states, absorption occurs. The instrument consists of a microwave source, sample cavity within a magnet, and detector. Applications include determining transition metals and studying oxidative enzyme function in biology.

Electron spin resonance electron paramagnetic resonance
Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, also known as electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, is a technique used to study materials with unpaired electrons. It detects transitions between spin energy levels of unpaired electrons when exposed to microwave radiation under a static magnetic field. ESR is sensitive to electronic structure and can provide information about defects, impurities, and reactive intermediates. The technique is complementary to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) but uses microwave radiation rather than radio waves and detects electron rather than nuclear spins.
Esr
Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy detects electron spin transitions in molecules containing unpaired electrons when irradiated with microwave radiation in the presence of a magnetic field. The ESR spectrum provides information about electron environments and interactions. Hyperfine splitting occurs when the electron spin interacts with nuclear spins, producing multiple peaks following Pascal's triangle. Superhyperfine splitting provides evidence of electron delocalization, appearing as overlapping multiplets. Anisotropic g-values from spin-orbit coupling depend on molecular orientation, shifting peak positions. Powder spectra show broadening from all orientations.
Mossbauer spectroscopy
Mossbauer spectroscopy uses gamma ray absorption to probe the local electronic environment of atomic nuclei. It works by measuring small shifts in the resonant absorption peaks of nuclei in different chemical states. The document outlines the basic principles, typical methods, applications in physics, chemistry, biology, mineralogy and metallurgy, as well as limitations, of Mossbauer spectroscopy.

Electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) detects species with unpaired electrons, such as free radicals and transition metal ions. ESR works by applying a magnetic field which splits the electron energy levels, and applying microwave radiation which causes transitions between these levels. This allows measurement of the energy differences and interpretation of spectra. ESR is useful for studying reaction mechanisms and active sites of metalloproteins. It has various applications including studying oxidation/reduction, reaction kinetics, and metal ions in trace amounts. The key components of an ESR instrument are the microwave source, cavity, magnet, and computer for signal processing and data analysis.Principles and applications of esr spectroscopy
- Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is used to study paramagnetic substances, particularly transition metal complexes and free radicals, by applying a magnetic field and measuring absorption of microwave radiation.
- ESR spectra provide information about electronic structure such as g-factors and hyperfine couplings by measuring resonance fields. Pulse techniques also allow measurement of dynamic properties like relaxation.
- Paramagnetic species have unpaired electrons that create a magnetic moment. ESR detects transition between spin energy levels induced by microwave absorption under an applied magnetic field.
ESR spectroscopy
ESR spectroscopy is a technique used to analyze compounds with unpaired electrons by measuring the transition between electron spin energy levels induced by microwave radiation in a magnetic field. It is applicable to free radicals and transition metal compounds. The spectra provide information about the local electronic structure through analysis of the proportionality factor and hyperfine interactions with neighboring nuclei.
mossbauer spectroscopy
Mossbauer spectroscopy involves the resonant absorption of gamma rays by atomic nuclei. It was first observed by Mossbauer in 1958, for which he received the Nobel Prize. The basic principles are that nuclei emitting gamma rays lose a small amount of energy to recoil, while absorbing nuclei must have slightly higher energy for resonance to occur. Doppler shift is used to scan the gamma ray energy through a range and bring the source and sample nuclei into resonance by accelerating the source. The technique provides information about oxidation states, spin states, and local environments of atoms in samples.
Zeeman Effect
The Zeeman effect is the splitting of a spectral line into multiple spectral lines when in the presence of a magnetic field. It was first observed in 1896 by Dutch physicist Pieter Zeeman when he placed a sodium flame between magnetic poles and observed the broadening of spectral lines. Zeeman's discovery earned him the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physics. The pattern and amount of splitting provides information about the strength and presence of the magnetic field.

1. Microwave diagnostics techniques such as interferometry, reflectometry, scattering and electron cyclotron emission (ECE) have been powerful tools for diagnosing magnetically confined plasmas.
2. Recent advances in electronics and computer technology have enabled the development of advanced microwave diagnostic systems that can measure 2D and 3D profiles of plasma density, temperature, and fluctuations.

Langmuir probe diagnostics at VINETA II experimental apparatus
VINETA II is an experiment to investigate magnetic reconnection in a controlled laboratory environment. The purpose of this work is to test the Langmuir probe diagnostics system by measuring the time evolution of 2D profiles of highly reproducible transient argon plasma discharges generated by an array of 7 electron guns. This is done by positioning the tip of a Langmuir probe at various positions on a 2D plane and by biasing it with an AC voltage with amplitude in the range 60V-80V and frequency in the range 10 kHz – 100 kHz. The end result is a 2D profile evolving in time for each parameter that can be extracted from the probe (T_e, n_e).
The study of electrical description for non thermal plasma needle system
The document summarizes a study on the electrical characterization of a non-thermal plasma needle system. Key points:
- Researchers designed and manufactured a non-thermal plasma needle to operate with argon gas at atmospheric pressure.
- The electrical description of the system was studied using voltages of 4.9 kV and 8 kV. Results showed the system consumed small amounts (few microamps) of electrical current. Current increased with higher gas flow.
- At 8 kV and 4 L/min gas flow, a slight breakdown voltage occurred causing a small decrease in current. Overall, the study characterized the electrical properties and current-voltage relationship of the non-thermal plasma needle system.
Phy 310 chapter 6
The document discusses x-rays and their production and spectra. It begins by defining x-rays as electromagnetic radiation with shorter wavelengths than UV produced when high-energy electrons bombard atoms. It then discusses how x-rays are produced in an x-ray tube through two mechanisms: characteristic x-rays produced via electron transitions in atoms, and continuous x-rays produced when electrons are decelerated. The document outlines the key components of an x-ray tube and the factors that influence x-ray spectra such as voltage, current and target material. It also compares x-ray emission spectra to optical atomic emission spectra.
Phy 310 chapter 6
This document discusses x-rays and their production and spectra. It begins by defining x-rays as electromagnetic radiation produced when high-energy electrons bombard atoms. X-rays were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Röntgen. The document then discusses how x-rays are produced in an x-ray tube, where high-speed electrons are accelerated toward a metal target. This produces two types of x-rays: characteristic x-rays formed by electron transitions within atoms, and continuous x-rays formed when electrons are decelerated. The x-ray spectrum consists of characteristic line spectra and a continuous spectrum. It provides formulas for calculating x-ray energies and wavelengths.
Performance analysis of a monopole antenna with fluorescent tubes at 4.9 g hz...
This document describes the analysis of a monopole antenna design with fluorescent tubes at an operating frequency of 4.9 GHz. The antenna structure consists of 12 commercial fluorescent tubes surrounding a monopole antenna located in the center of a circular ground plane. The performance of the antenna design is analyzed using CST Microwave Studio software. Parameters like return loss, radiation pattern, and gain are evaluated to analyze the antenna's performance. The fluorescent tubes act as plasma reflectors when electrified, trapping radiation inside and improving the antenna's performance for potential military applications.
ELECTRO FREEZING/HEATING FOIL
We propose to formulate an absolutely new paradigm for the solid-state power engineering in the field of the electricity conversion into cold based on the “Freezing Chip” technology. It is the creation of the novel thin-film materials (electro freezing/heating foil) based on the nanostructured dielectrics and semiconductors with the preset optimal parameters and changing a cooling process into a heating process simply by switching the polarity of the supply voltage. We have developed nanostructured semiconductors with a non-conventional mechanism of electron conductivity 10 – 10^3 Ohm-1*cm-1. In this case the material heat conduction is of a purely lattice type and is 0,1- 1,0 W/(m*K). Actually, we have developed some kind of an electron heat pipe, but in a nanostructured solid. It allows the principal constraint imposed by the Wiedemann-Franz’s law on the efficiency in Peltier effect-based thermo electrical refrigerators to be eliminated. The heat conduction of nanostructured semiconductors having the same electrical conductance as that in the best Bi:Te:Se:-based electrical refrigerators is more than 10-100 times less that offers promise to achieve the energy efficiencies 50%-70 % at 100-300 K and 15-50 % at 10-100 K temperature ranges per one refrigerator stage.
Development of A 3d Model Eddy Current Testing
The main stake is to detect a defective component or likely to become it during manufacture or inservice inspections, while improving control productivity. In this context, we develop a simulation tool of EC fastened structures testing, integrated to the ANSYS platform, aimed at conceiving testing methods, optimizing and qualifying it. The finite element method has been chosen, it is suitable for this type of problem. Various configurations have been considered for the inspection of a target with a defect in different thicknesses. Due to the impossibility to detect a defect located at a distance much greater than the skin depth δ. Indeed, the eddy currents amplitude are less than 95% of the maximum amplitude beyond a depth greater than 3 δ. We are interested in the detection of defects located at depths higher to three times the skin depth.

This document discusses the development of a kinetic theory to describe the X-ray conductivity (XRC) of semiconductors and dielectrics when irradiated by X-rays. It begins by outlining the need for such a theory and which characteristics it should describe. It then presents the initial stages of developing the theory, including modeling an ideal semiconductor at low excitation levels and deriving expressions for the spatial distribution of free electrons and holes and their lifetimes. The document also examines how the electric field of free charge carriers affects the distributions as excitation increases and considers incorporating the Coulomb interaction between carriers.

This document describes simulations done using COMSOL Multiphysics to design an optimal extraction tube for an electron beam emitted from a plasma focus device. The simulations aimed to determine a material that would shield the electron beam from electromagnetic forces within the device while maintaining electrical safety. Simulation results showed that a steel tube provided adequate shielding, but steel is not electrically safe. A design using a steel tube with an outer Delrin coating was found to both shield the electron beam and maintain electrical safety, making it the optimum extraction tube design.

This document discusses using domain decomposition with Lagrange multipliers to compute electromagnetic signatures of land mines for metal detectors. The computational domain is divided into subdomains with different resolutions, with the fine subdomain containing the small metal mine parts and the coarse subdomain containing the larger detector coil. Lagrange multipliers are used to couple the subdomains, and the magnetic vector potential must be equal on the interface between subdomains. Solving the resulting saddle point system of equations allows modeling the electric field of a transmitting coil over a metallic sphere to validate the method and compute mine signatures for reducing false alarms in metal detectors.

Dimmer and neon transformer as a power controllable generator for atmospheric...International Journal of Power Electronics and Drive Systems
The feasibility of a dimmer and neon transformer to provide power control to the atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) is presented in this paper. The standard neon transformer was previously shown applicable to power up a plasma torch to generate plasma irradiation of an APPJ at 8.64kv and 35kHz. However, the plasma emission is not controllable. In this study, a lamp dimmer was proposed to function as a power controller to the neon transformer which drives the generation of plasma and discharged with argon gas. With the dimmer output voltage adjustable from 60 - 220V, the power and current of the dimmer were variable from 8.4 to 83.6 W and 0.08 and 0.38 A, respectively. The temperature measured at the quartz tube and sample exposure site were less than 50oC suggested that the APPJ produced were non-thermal. A simple test by exposing plasma plume to a leaf sample showed that the plasma produced were non-damaging to the leaf. This portable system can provide control to the APPJ and applicable for bioengineering studies. International Journal of Computational Engineering Research(IJCER)

The document summarizes a numerical study of the propagation and power deposition of electron cyclotron waves in non-circular HL-2A tokamak plasmas. The ray trajectories and power deposition were simulated by solving the plasma equilibrium equation, ray equations, and quasi-linear Fokker-Planck equation. The results show that shaping effects and temperature profiles have little influence on ECRH, while plasma density significantly affects propagation and power deposition. When ordinary mode EC waves are launched from the mid-plane and low-field side, ray trajectories bend as the parallel refractive index increases and can even recurve to the low-field side when the index reaches a certain value. Single absorption decreases with increasing both poloidal and toroidal

High Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy using Iridium-Gold Phase Transition
An iridium/gold phase transition thermometer was used in a microcalorimeter to achieve high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy. The microcalorimeter demonstrated an energy resolution of 15.5 eV when measuring the 55Mn Kα1 X-ray line, showing potential for applications in astroparticle physics and analytical X-ray systems. The thermometer operates based on the temperature-dependent resistance of an iridium/gold bilayer film near its superconducting phase transition. Energy deposited by X-rays is measured as a temperature change in the thermometer, which is read out using SQUID amplification. Further improvements could yield even higher resolution and count rates suitable for applications including dark matter searches and s

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.

A fast-swept (100 kHz) Langmuir probe is used to reconstruct electron temperature, electron density, and plasma potential profiles with ~10 µs temporal resolution and ~ 1 cm spatial resolution. The evolution of both a transient plasma generated by an array of electron guns can be observed within a 300 µs timeframe. Reconstructed profiles are interpreted taking into account the expected magnetic field topology and in relation to their effect on the magnetic reconnection rate. [1]Plasma Diagnostic Techniques.
