Fluctuation studies using combined MachÕtriple probe
نویسندگان
چکیده
A probe consisting of two poloidally separated triple probes and a Mach probe ~TMT probe! has been designed and installed on the H-1 heliac to study fluctuations. Mach probes are shown to be sensitive to the fluctuations in the electron density, electron and ion temperatures, and ion drift velocity. If the ion Larmor radius is much larger than the characteristic probe dimension, then the Mach probe is insensitive to the magnetic field. When the Mach probe is oriented such that the two tips are separated radially, it becomes sensitive to the radial velocity of the ions. A model has been devised to allow the above mentioned time-resolved plasma parameters to be reconstructed from the data obtained using the TMT probe. One of the important results of these studies is that ion temperature fluctuations cannot be neglected. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1318244#

Catalytic reactions on platinum nanofacets: bridging the size and complexity gap
In this short review we present few selected sections of our own work on the catalytic reactions as studied on a nanoscale using the field emission and field ion microscopies (FEM/FIM) and the corresponding probe-hole techniques: magnetic field ion mass separation combined with the field ion appearance energy spectroscopy (FIAES) and an atom probe with a Wien-filter ion mass selection combined ...
متن کاملIranian EFL Learners’ Motivational Fluctuation in Task Performance over Different Timescales
Motivation for learning a new language is both self and time-oriented. The language learner’s motivation experiences gradual fluctuation over time and the view of oneself is different on each timescale of the study. Interaction among different timescales throughout the Second Language Development (SLD) is a novel area of investigation (de Bot, 2015). In order to probe this interactive nature, t...
متن کاملEvaluation of CYP2C9 activity in rats: use of tolbutamide alone and in combined with bupropion
A “cocktail”of several probe drugs is often used to evaluate metabolic activity of multiple cytochrome P450 enzymes in one session. Some interactions among probe drugs can appear and may impact the rate of biotransformation of other ones. Our presented work was to aim on the influence of bupropion on rat cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism of tolbutamide. The biotransformation rates of tolbutam...

متن کاملA set-up for measurement of low frequency conductance fluctuation (noise) using digital signal processing techniques
We describe a set up for measurements of low frequency (1 mHz ∼ f ∼ 20 Hz) conductance fluctuations in a solid conductor. The set-up uses a five probe a.c. measurement technique and extensive digital signal processing to reach a noise floor down to Sv(f) ≤ 10−20 V2Hz−1. The set up also allows measurement of noise using an a.c. in presence of a superimposed direct current. This feature is desira...
