Numerical and experimental investigations of a microwave interferometer for the negative ion source SPIDER

Ivo Furno, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello

The electron density close to the extraction grids and the co-extracted electrons represent a crucial issue when operating negative ion sources for fusion reactors. An excessive electron density in the plasma expansion region can indeed inhibit the negativ ...

Improving time-resolution and sensitivity of in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of a powder catalyst by modulated excitation

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri, Filippo Buttignol

Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS) is a powerful tool to characterize the surface structure of heterogeneous catalysts in situ. In order to improve the time resolution and the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of photoemission spectra, we ...

Highly Sensitive Detection of the Antidepressant Fluoxetine With an Extended Gate Field Effect Transistor

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Shokoofeh Sheibani

Fluoxetine (FL) is one of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which is used as an anti-depressant, as well as anti-panic drug. In this work, a sensor for label-free recognition of trace amounts of FL is introduced, which is based on an extended ga ...

Spectral Properties of the Signal in Phase-Sensitive Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry with Direct Detection

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Li Zhang, Xin Lu

The spectral properties of the Rayleigh backscattered traces measured by a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer (øOTDR) with direct detection are theoretically and experimentally analyzed. The spectrum of the measured øOTDR signal is found to ...

Modulated Excitation Raman Spectroscopy of V2O5/TiO2: Mechanistic Insights into the Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO with NH3

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri, Adrian Marberger, Rob Jeremiah G. Nuguid

We report the increased level of mechanistic information that Raman spectroscopy can provide when combined with modulated excitation experimentation. A V2O5/TiO2 catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO, was subjected to periodic NH3 puls ...

Appearance and Disappearance of Quantum Correlations in Measurement-Based Feedback Control of a Mechanical Oscillator

Tobias Kippenberg, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Sergey Fedorov, Ryan Daniel Schilling, Vivishek Sudhir, Amir Hossein Ghadimi, Hendrik Schütz

Quantum correlations between imprecision and backaction are a hallmark of continuous linear measurements. Here, we study how measurement-based feedback can be used to improve the visibility of quantum correlations due to the interaction of a laser field wi ...
