Observation of particle pairing in a two-dimensional plasma crystal.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The observation is presented of naturally occurring pairing of particles and their cooperative drift in a two-dimensional plasma crystal. A single layer of plastic microspheres was suspended in the plasma sheath of a capacitively coupled radio-frequency discharge in argon at a low pressure of 1 Pa. The particle dynamics were studied by combining the top-view and side-view imaging of the suspension. Cross-analysis of the particle trajectories allowed us to identify naturally occurring metastable pairs of particles. The lifetime of pairs was long enough for their reliable identification.

In this paper we have solved analytically the Schrödinger equation for a microscopic particle in a one-dimensional box with two infinite walls, which the potential function inside it, has a linear form. Based on the solutions of this special quantum mechanical system, we have shown that as the quantum number approaches infinity the expectation values of microscopic particle position and square ...

Three alpha particles are emitted from the P-11B fusion reaction. Alpha particles play an important role in the death of cancer cells. When boron is accumulated in the tumor, protons irradiated out of body can react with the boron in the tumor. Also a fast gamma ray of 719 KeV beam is released from the P-11B fusion reaction which plays a useful role for us. This therapeutic approach includes fe...
