Splayed columnar defects are efficient pinning centers for magnetic vortices in High-T-c Superconductors. Irradiation with 000 MeV protons as primary projectiles generates heavy fission fragments in (Bi, Pb)(2)Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 via a p-Bi nuclear reaction. The ...
The authors present superconducting YBa2C3O7 (YBCO) thin films grown in-situ by three-ion-beam sputtering. Y, Y2O3, Cu, Cu2O, BaF2 and BaCO3 sputter targets have been investigated. The highest quality films were prepared using a BaCo3 target. Auger analysi ...
High-fluence proton irradiation experiments with thin actinide targets are part of PSI's programme related to accelerator-based transmutation studies. The aim is to provide experimental data for the validation of theoretical models in nucleon-meson transpo ...
We report a full account of our work toward the total synthesis of pseudolaric acid B (1a), a diterpene acid isolated from the bark of Pseudolarix kaempferi Gordon (pinaceae). Compound 1a is an antifungal and antifertility agent. Furthermore, its capacity ...
The heterotritopic ligand [bpy(DTTA)2]8- has two diethylenediamine-tetraacetate units for selective lanthanide(III) coordination and one bipyridine function for selective FeII coordination. In aqueous solution and in the presence of these metals, the ligan ...
Addn. of alkenyldimethoxyboranes to EtCHO or BzH proceeded almost completely stereospecifically; e.g., (Z)-2-butenyldimethoxyborane and EtCHO gave 62% R*,R*-EtCH(OH)CHMeCH:CH2 of 96% isomer purity; while the (E)-borane gave the R*,S* isomer in 97% purity. ...
The influence of hydrostatic pressure on the emission and absorption spectra measured for various types of InGaN structures (epilayers, quantum wells, and quantum dots) is studied. While the known pressure coefficients of the GaN and InN band gaps are abou ...
The growth of the porosity in high-burnup fuel is of particular interest when considering the effect of fission gas retention within the high-burnup structure (HBS). A mechanistic model of porosity growth under annealing conditions for light water reactor ...
The current investigation, conducted in the general framework of the MUSE program ("MUltiplication avec une Source Externe"), considers the representativity of a specific configuration of its fourth phase (M4SC2), which is driven by an external D(d,n)He3 o ...
A detailed three-dimensional, continuous-energy MCNP4B model of the LWR-PROTEUS critical facility has been developed for the analysis of whole-reactor characteristics using ENDF/B-V, ENDF/B-VI and JEF-2.2 cross-section sets. The model has been applied to t ...
