In order to account for the increasing demand for strong molecular beams for nuclear physics experiments at ISOLDE, a new radioactive ion source concept based on an RE discharge in a magnetized plasma was developed at CERN. Experimental studies at the ISOL ...
The effect of He on the primary damage induced by irradiation in ultrahigh-purity (UHP) Fe and Fe(Cr) alloys was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Materials were irradiated at room temperature in situ by TEM in a microscope coupled to ...
In the quest of the structural materials for the future fusion reactor, it has been shown that ferritic/martensitic (F/M) steels are very promising candidates, with a good radiation resistance in terms of damage accumulation in the microstructure relative ...
A W-2Y(2)O(3) material was developed in collaboration with the Plansee Company (Austria). An ingot of the material having approximate dimension of 95 mm x 20 mm was fabricated by mixing the elemental powders followed by pressing, sintering and hot forging. ...
The Low Density Matter end-station at the new seeded Free Electron Laser FERMI@Elettra is a versatile instrument for the study of atoms, molecules and clusters by means of electron and ion spectroscopies. Beams of atoms, molecules and helium droplets as we ...
Carbon ion irradiation of carbon nanotube (CNT) bundles to enhance mechanical performance is investigated using classical molecular dynamics. Strategies to achieve inter-tube cross-linking for improved shear response without a drastic reduction in tensile ...
High Cr (9-14% Cr) ferritic/martensitic steels are considered as one of the most promising candidates for structural materials for advanced nuclear power plants. Therefore, the understanding of the evolution of properties under operation conditions is of p ...
In bulk composite materials, interfaces between adjacent materials can be neglected when evaluating the individual functional properties on the macroscopic scale. However, in nanostructured materials, what is described as an interfacial region can be a sig ...
The ion temperature is not frequently measured in the boundary of magnetic fusion devices. Comparisons among different ion temperature techniques and simulations are even rarer. Here we present a comparison of ion temperature measurements in the boundary o ...
Vertically-stacked Silicon NanoWire FETs (SiN- WFETs) with gate-all-around control are the natural and most advanced extension of FinFETs. At advanced technology nodes, due to Schottky contacts at channel interfaces, devices show an ambipolar behavior, i.e ...
