Two-component adlayers consisting of zinc(II) phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and a metalloporphyrin, such as octaethylporphyrin (ZnOEP) or tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP), were prepared by immersing either an Au(111) Au(100) substrate in benzene solution containing those molecules. The bimolecular thus investigated 0.1 M HClO4 cyclic voltammetry (CV) electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM). A supramolecularly organized "chessboard" structure was formed for the ZnPc ZnOEP array on Au(111),...
We present a precision analysis of the $^{136}$Xe two-neutrino $\beta\beta$ electron spectrum above 0.8 MeV, based on high-statistics data obtained with KamLAND-Zen experiment. An improved formalism for rate allows us to measure ratio leading and subleading $2\nu\beta\beta$ nuclear matrix elements (NMEs), $\xi^{2\nu}_{31} = -0.26^{+0.31}_{-0.25}$. Theoretical predictions from shell model majority quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA) calculations are consistent experimental limit....

A novel scheme for the focusing of high-energy leptons in future linear colliders was proposed 2001 [P. Raimondi and A. Seryi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 3779 (2001)]. This has many advantageous properties over previously studied schemes, including being significantly shorter a given energy having better bandwidth. Experimental results from ATF2 accelerator at KEK are presented that validate operating principle such by demonstrating demagnification 1.3 GeV electron beam down to below 65 nm height...
Narrow-bandwidth photon beams in the x-ray and γ-ray energy ranges are expected to be applied various fields. An recovery linac (ERL)-based laser Compton scattering (LCS) source employing a enhancement cavity can produce high-flux narrow-bandwidth beam.
