This paper presents a diagnostic system, gamma-ray alpha-particle monitor (GRAM), for continuous monitoring of deuterium-tritium fusion alpha-particles in the MeV energy range escaped from the plasma to the first wall. The diagnostic is based on the detect ...
2018Inorganic salts interact with oxalic acid in submicron particles to form material with low hygroscopicity and volatility
Volatility and hygroscopicity are two key properties of organic aerosol components, and both are strongly related to chemical identity. While the hygroscopicities of pure salts, di-carboxylic acids (DCA), and DCA salts are known, the hygroscopicity of inte ...
European Geosciences Union2014Desorption Dynamics of Heavy Alkali Metal Atoms (Rb, Cs) Off the Surface of Helium Nanodroplets
We present a combined ion imaging and density functional theory study of the dynamics of the desorption process of rubidium and cesium atoms off the surface of helium nanodroplets upon excitation of the perturbed 6s and 7s states, respectively. Both experi ...
Amer Chemical Soc2014Size-resolved CCN distributions and activation kinetics of aged continental and marine aerosol
Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis
We present size-segregated measurements of cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) activity of aged aerosol sampled at Finokalia, Crete, during the Finokalia Aerosol Measurement Experiment of summer 2007 (FAME07). From analysis of the data, hygroscopicity and act ...
2011Investigation of cloud condensation nuclei properties and droplet growth kinetics of the water-soluble aerosol fraction in Mexico City
We present hygroscopic and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) relevant properties of the water-soluble fraction of Mexico City aerosol collected upon filters during the 2006 Megacity Initiative: Local and Global Research Observations (MILAGRO) campaign. Appli ...
Blackwell Publishing Ltd2010Four new noncentrosymmetric salt-inclusion vanadates: (AX)2Mn(VO3)2 (A/X = Rb/Cl, Cs/Cl, Cs/Br) and (CsCl)2Cu(VO3)2
Hybrid solids, made of chem. dissimilar components, have drawn much interest in advanced materials synthesis due to their structural versatility and multifunctional properties. For example, metal-org. frameworks (MOFs) have been extensively explored for th ...
American Chemical Society2008Characterisation of high-burnup LWR fuel rods through gamma tomography
Current fuel management strategies for light water reactors (LWRs), in countries with high back-end costs, progressively extend the discharge burnup at the expense of increasing the 235U enrichment of the fresh UO2 fuel loaded. In this perspective, standar ...
EPFL2007Influence of Dissolved Sodium and Cesium on Uranyl Oxide Hydrate Solubility
The solubility of uranium-containing minerals can control the mobility of uranium in contaminated soil and groundwater. The identity and solubility of these minerals are strongly influenced by solution composition. The influence of dissolved sodium and ces ...
2004Enhanced retention of cesium in yttria stabilised zirconia by co-implantation of iodine
The retention behaviour of fission products in the material is therefore of special importance. 1 MeV iodine and cesium ions were implanted into yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and their depth profile was measured by Rutherford Backscattering after subseq ...
