Simulating energetic particle losses in JET plasmas with a reverse integration biasing scheme

An integrated energetic particle transport model has been constructed in JET plasmas constrained by experimental fast ion loss measurements. The model incorporates a synthetic fast ion loss detector identical to JET's thin-foil Faraday cup fast ion loss de ...

Evidence for a spin acoustic surface plasmon from inelastic atom scattering

Davide Campi

Closed-shell atoms scattered from a metal surface exchange energy and momentum with surface phonons mostly via the interposed surface valence electrons, i.e., via the creation of virtual electron-hole pairs. The latter can then decay into surface phonons v ...

Unexpected Indirect Dynamics in Base-Induced Elimination

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado

Base-induced elimination (E2) and bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S(N)2) are two of the most versatile reactions that are important in preparative organic chemistry. These stereospecific reactions are often found in direct competition with each othe ...

Convergence Analysis and Criterion for Data Assimilation with Sensitivities from Monte Carlo Neutron Transport Codes

Andreas Pautz, Mathieu Hursin, Daniel Jerôme Siefman

Sensitivity coefficients calculated with Monte Carlo neutron transport codes are subject to statistical fluctuations. The fluctuations affect parameters that are calculated with the sensitivity coefficients. The convergence study presented here describes t ...

Modeling Surface Recombination with Enhanced Devices Network for Optoelectronics

Jean-Michel Sallese, Camillo Stefanucci, Pietro Buccella, Chiara Rossi

We present a lumped devices network approach to simulate surface recombination effects in optoelectronics devices. The network is composed of generalized lumped devices where the excess carrier concentrations and gradients are mapped on electrical quantiti ...

Effects of Kr and Xe ion irradiation on the structure of Y2O3 nanoprecipitates in YBCO thin film conductors

Philippe Buffat, Elena Suvorova Buffat

The response of Y2O3 nanoprecipitates in a 1-mu m YBa2Cu3O7-x layer from a superconducting wire Ag/YBCO/buffer metal oxides/Hastelloy to 107 MeV Kr and 167 MeV Xe ion irradiation was investigated using a combination of transmission electron microscopy, dif ...

In order to have a better closure for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations, a common approach is to obtain the ion fluid pressure tensor by directly computing the moments of an ion distribution function, obtained by a Particle-in-cell (PIC) solver of the V ...

We present results from a joint theoretical and experimental study of the low-energy Penning ionization of NH3, CH3F, and CHF3 by metastable Ne(P-3(2)) and He(S-3(1)) atoms. We combine the merged neutral beams experiment, covering a range of collision ener ...

Average-atom interatomic potential for random alloys

William Curtin, Céline Varvenne

An average-atom (A-atom) embedded-atom-method potential for random multicomponent alloys at any composition is derived analytically and validated by comparing A-atom and true random alloys bulk and defect properties, in model Fe-Ni-Cr systems. The A-atom c ...

Demonstrating the saturation of stimulated Brillouin scattering by ion acoustic decay using fully kinetic simulations

Stephan Brunner

The saturation of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) by the decay to turbulence of the ion acoustic wave (IAW) that participates in the three-wave SBS interaction is demonstrated using a quasinoiseless one-dimensional numerical solution to the Vlasov-Ma ...
