This thesis reports on the design and construction of a novel experimental setup for the study of surface magnetic systems. This setup consists of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) designed for ultra high vacuum (UHV) operating at T ≲ 1 K and str ...
A rapid algorithm for tomographic inversion is presented that allows post-discharge reconstruction of the soft x-ray (SXR) emissivity evolution in the Tokamak a configuration variable (TCV). Simultaneously, it determines the centre of gravity of the emissi ...
We discuss alignment properties of nematic liquid crystals on surfaces that contain homeotropic and planar alignment areas on the same surface substrate. The basic idea is to locally pattern homeotropic agents (silane) on surfaces that usually lead to plan ...
Because the spectral d. of Rydberg states scales with the third power of the principal quantum no. n, the region immediately below at. and mol. ionization thresholds is spectrally very dense. Studying the properties of high at. and mol. Rydberg states just ...
A new expt. allows the identification of residues that feature slow conformational exchange in macromols. Rotations about dihedral angles that are slower than the global correlation time tc cause a modulation of the isotropic chem. shifts of the nuclei. If ...
We have investigated the orbital magnetization of tunable two-dimensional electron-systems (2DES) in GaAs/AIGaAs-heterostructures in the magnetic quantum limit using a high-sensitive superconducting susceptometer. In particular we have studied the magnetiz ...
A way to determine the magnetic axis of gyrotron cryomagnets, and more generally magnets composed of coils wound around a single mandrel is presented. The method is based on measurements of the longitudinal component of the magnetic field performed at suit ...
Energy confinement and heat transport of net-current-free NBI heated plasmas in the large helical device (LHD) are discussed with emphasis on density and power deposition profile dependences. Although the apparent density dependence of the energy confineme ...
Fully kinetic assessments of the stability properties of toroidal drift modes have been obtained for cases for the large helical device (LHD). This calculation employs the comprehensive linear microinstability code FULL, as recently extended for nonaxisymm ...
We use infrared-visible double resonance overtone excitation to prepare HOCl molecules in single, well-characterized rotational levels of high OH stretching states just above the dissociation threshold on the ground potential energy surface. Combined with ...
