Abstract The Beam Gas Ionisation (BGI) profile monitor, located in the Proton Synchrotron (PS) and Super (SPS) at CERN, requires a radiation-tolerant readout system to transfer data from challenging accelerator surroundings back-end for processing. needs control acquire four Timepix3 Hybrid Pixel Detectors (HPDs) directly inside beam pipe, highly radioactive environment. It must ensure reliability given limited hardware access preserve signal integrity high-speed (32 channels 320 MHz)....
Frequency Domain Thermoreflectance (FDTR) is a versatile technique used to measure the thermal properties of thin films, multilayer stacks, and interfaces that govern performance management in semiconductor microelectronics. Reliable property measurements at these length scales (≈10 nm ≈10 μm), where physics transport phonon scattering both grow complexity, are increasingly relevant as electronic components continue shrink. While FDTR promising technique, instruments generally home-built;...
This letter reports on pilot tests of microfabricated nanocalorimeters as a metrology platform for rapid (<40 ms response time) and sensitive (in the range 1020 m−2 s−1–1017 m−3 radicals’ flux density, respectively) detection neutral radicals generated by reactive cold plasmas. The setup consists nanocalorimeter resistive sensor coated with catalyst alongside an inert reference identical thermal masses. By measuring temperature increase in active caused radical surface recombination...
Thin metal films acting as structural components in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices can exhibit viscoelastic mechanical behavior even at small strains, causing time-dependent changes device performance. In an effort to characterize the temperature dependence of this behavior, stress relaxation experiments using gas pressure bulge testing have been conducted on 1.0-μm thick Au temperatures between 20°C and 80°C. By fitting a Prony series saturating exponentials resulting curves,...
Atom probe tomography (APT)-based isotopic analyses are becoming increasingly attractive for analysis applications requiring small volumes of material and sub-micrometer length scales, such as isotope geochemistry, nuclear safety, materials science. However, there is an open question within the atom community to reliability elemental analyses. Using our proposed guidelines, in conjunction with empirical calibration curve a machine learning-based adaptive peak fitting algorithm, we...
Laboratory notebooks have been a staple of scientific research for centuries organizing and documenting ideas experiments.Modern laboratories are increasingly reliant on electronic data collection analysis, so it seems inevitable that the digital revolution should come to ordinary laboratory notebook.The most important aspect this transition is make shift as comfortable intuitive possible, creative process hallmark investigation engineering achievement maintained, ideally enhanced.The smart...
Abstract Scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) through-focus imaging (TFI) has been used to determine the three-dimensional atomic structure of Bi segregation-induced brittle Cu grain boundaries (GBs). With TFI, it is possible observe single atom distributions along [001] twist GBs using an aberration-corrected STEM operating at 200 kV. The depth resolution ~5 nm. Specimens with intentionally inclined respect microscope’s optic axis were investigate segregant and through GB. It...
The NIF and LMJ laser systems require about 3380 4752 Nd-doped glass slabs, respectively. Continuous melting forming will be used for the first time to manufacture these slabs. Two vendors have been chosen produce glass: Hoya Corporation Schott Glass Technologies. that each of two designed, built tested are arguably most advanced in world. Production begin on a pilot scale fall 1998.
