Great Balls of Fire: A probabilistic approach to quantify the hazard related to ballistics – A case study at La Fossa volcano, Vulcano Island, Italy

Pierino Lestuzzi

We present a probabilistic approach to quantify the hazard posed by volcanic ballistic projectiles (VBP) and their potential impact on the built environment. A model named Great Balls of Fire (GBF) is introduced to describe ballistic trajectories of VBPs a ...

Electron trapping mechanisms in magnetron injection guns

Jean-Philippe Hogge, Ioannis Pagonakis, Jiahuan Zhang, Konstantinos Avramidis

A key parameter for the gyrotron operation and efficiency is the presence of trapped electrons. Two electron trapping mechanisms can take place in gyrotrons: (i) the adiabatic trap and (ii) the magnetic potential well. Their influence on the gyrotron opera ...

Optical label-free and model-free probe of the surface potential of nanoscale and microscopic objects in aqueous solution

Sylvie Roke, Cornelis Ulrich Lütgebaucks

The electrostatic environment of aqueous systems is an essential ingredient for the function of any living system. To understand the electrostatic properties and their molecular foundation in soft, living, and three-dimensional systems, we developed a tabl ...

Clumped isotope fractionation during phosphoric acid digestion of carbonates at 70°C

Marie Estelle Solange Violay

The application of clumped isotopes (Delta(47)) in carbonate minerals as a sensitive temperature proxy in paleo-environments depends on a well-constrained clumped isotope fractionation for the necessary step of phosphoric acid digestion of the carbonate mi ...

Solute strengthening at high temperatures

William Curtin

The high temperature behavior of solute strengthening has previously been treated approximately using various scaling arguments, resulting in logarithmic and power-law scalings for the stress-dependent energy barrier Delta E(tau) versus stress tau. Here, a ...
