Scale-free statistics of plasticity-induced surface steps on KCl single crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experimental investigations of plastic flow have demonstrated temporal intermittency as deformation proceeds in a series of intermittent bursts with scale-free size distribution. In the present investigation, a corresponding spatial intermittency is demonstrated for plastic flow of KCl single crystals. Deformation bursts lead to large surface steps with a height distribution that is consistent with the distribution of strain increments in deformation of micro-columns, and the energy distribution of acoustic emission bursts observed in deformation of macroscopic single crystal samples of a wide class of materials.

Luminescence and scintillation characterization of Silver doped KCl single crystal grown by Czochralski technique for photonic applications
In this study, the scintillation and optical properties of pure and silver doped potassium chloride (KCl:Ag) single crystals were reported. Pure and doped KCl bulk single crystals with a good optical quality and free from cracks were grown from the melt using Czochralski technique. Different analysis methods were used to study the optical and scintillation properties of the grown crystals. The ...
متن کاملProtein-induced morphological transitions in KCl crystal growth.
We investigated the formation of KCl crystals on a glass surface by phase contrast, fluorescent, and atomic force microscopy on the micrometer scale and observed interesting morphological transitions as a function of the experimental conditions. The presence of proteins in the solution from which the salt crystals grow during the drying up leads to complex microscopic patterns of crystals, some...

Background: Similar to the thermoluminescence (TL) spectra, the optical parameters variations can also be used in TL crystals for dosimetry purposes. These optical parameters can include absorption, transmission and reflection coefficients. Materials and Methods: Single crystals of KBr and KCl which have been used in this research were grown from laboratory grade extra pure precursor p...
متن کاملCysteamine pretreatment reduces Mg2+-free medium-induced plasticity in the CA1 region of the rat hippocampal slices
Extracellular population responses are largely preferred for the study of long-term potentiation (LTP). The effect of Mg2+-free medium on changes in activity and plasticity of Schaffer collateral-CA1 pyramidal cell synapses was examined. Hippcampal slices from cysteamine-treated (200 mg/kg, s.c.) and saline-injected (1 ml/kg, s.c.) albino rats were perfused with ACSF. Population spikes (PS) wer...
