Sampling and Online Analysis of Alkalis in Thermal Process Gases with a Novel Surface Ionization Detector

When using biomass or waste as a feedstock for power production, alkalis are a major concern because of their negative effects on equipment. To investigate the release behavior of alkalis and the effectiveness of countermeasures, it is indispensable to qua ...

A 20-bit dynamic range CMOS A/D converter for ionization chambers

Maher Kayal, François Krummenacher, Bernd Dehning

We present the design of a wide dynamic-range CMOS A/D interface circuit for ionization chambers, able to digitize input charge of both polarities over six decades, to operate in a radioactive environment, and foreseen working without calibration. The circ ...

Imaging based interferometric pressure sensor

Demetri Psaltis, Wuzhou Song

An imaging based interferometric pressure sensor apparatus compromise a fluid pressure sensor unit (1) and an optical monitor (2). The disposable pressure sensor part comprises a rigid transparent cover plate 3 and a flexible diaphragm (4), in between form ...

Corona Discharge in Microwave Devices: A Comparison of Ionization Rate Models

Michael Mattes, Francisco Edén Sorolla Rosario

In this paper we compare the predicted Corona breakdown power threshold obtained by different ionization rate models for an infinite parallel-plate waveguide. We point out the lack of a unanimous model of the ionization rate for RF fields and study the dif ...

Copper(I) and copper(II) binding to β-amyloid 16 (Aβ16) studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

Hubert Girault, Liang Qiao, Michel Prudent, Yu Lu

Copper-b-amyloid 16 (Aβ16) complexes were investigated by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Copper(I) and (II) complexes were formed on-line in a microchip electrospray emitter by using a sacrificial copper electrode as the anode in posit ...

A high-resolution scintillating fiber tracker with silicon photomultiplier array readout

Tatsuya Nakada

We present prototype modules for a tracking detector consisting of multiple layers of 0.25 mm diameter scintillating fibers that are read out by linear arrays of silicon photomultipliers. The module production process is described and measurements of the k ...

A hybrid density functional study of lithium in ZnO: Stability, ionization levels, and diffusion

Nava Setter, Alfredo Pasquarello, Alexander Tagantsev, Audrius Alkauskas, Alexandra Sarabando de Carvalho

The properties of interstitial and substitutional Li in wurtzite ZnO are modeled using hybrid density functional calculations. We investigate the impact of the band-gap error on the formation energies of the two defects and their dependence on the Fermi le ...

Exact results for thermodynamics of the hydrogen plasma: Low-temperature expansions beyond Saha theory

We study hydrogen in the Saha regime, within the physical picture in terms of a quantum proton-electron plasma. Long ago, Saha showed that, at sufficiently low densities and low temperatures, the system behaves almost as an ideal mixture made with hydrogen ...

Online system for temperature and accumulated dose control in plasma-based ion implantation

François Roy

Surface treatment optimization requires the control of the ion dose and the workpiece temperature, two parameters that are not trivially measurable in plasma-based ion implantation. A temperature and ion fluence monitoring system has been developed and imp ...

Qualitative evaluation of alkali release during the pyrolysis of biomass

Christian Ludwig, Alexander Wokaun

The thermochemical emission of alkali metals from biomass samples and two organic salts was investigated for the first time using a novel combination of a th ermogravi metric analyzer with a jet flow condenser attached to a surface ionization detector. Thi ...
