Illumination of nano- and micro-particles with a highly focused laser beam will exert a force on them that depends on different parameters, such as the particle size, refractive index and beam waist. In this paper rigorous diffraction theories are used to ...
We present results obtained from modeling the septum assessment experiments of the JET MkIIGB divertor with the B2-Eirene code package. Similar L-mode discharges have been performed with and without septum, varying density and gas puffing location. High an ...
The structure of aperiodic crystals which includes incommensurate, quasi- and composite crystals is usually described in spaces of higher dimension, the so called superspace. The main advantage of the superspace formalism is that an aperiodic structure in ...
Nanoscaled particles showing superparamagnetic behavior have been intensively studied in the past years for various applications. Nevertheless, the lack of well-defined particles remains an important problem. One of the major challenges is still the large- ...
We report the results of an experimental investigation of segregation in a binary mixture of dry particles subjected to horizontal oscillatory excitation. The thin layer of particles was driven by the stick-slip frictional interaction with the surface of a ...
The evidence for direct charged particles (CP) violation in the decay B0→K+ π- was investigated with 253 fb-1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e + e- collider. 275 x 106 BB̄ pairs were used to observe a B→K±π∓ signal with 2140 ±53 even ...
Nanostructured materials can be defined as those materials whose structural elements - clusters, crystallites or molecules - have dimensions in the 1-100 nm range. The explosion in both academic and industrial interest over the past 20 years arises from th ...
Recent progress in the Large Helical Device (LHD) experiment during the last 2 yr is reviewed. The LHD has been extending its operational regime toward fusion-relevant conditions while taking advantage of the net-current-free heliotron concept employing a ...
A novel experimental apparatus to study the dynamics of photodissociation and photoionization processes in the interior or at the surface of helium droplets by means of imaging techniques has been designed, built and characterized. This molecular beam mach ...
In this paper we study the large scale transport of the DNA particles through a heterogeneous micro array in the framework of homogenization theory. We derive the macro scale particle transport equation and show that for transport of particles in a diverge ...
