Helium-like titanium x-ray spectrum as a probe of QED computation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the first absolute energy measurements of the intercombination and forbidden transitions (x y z , , ) in trapped Ti ions to 15 parts per million accuracy. We present new measurements on helium-like titanium, in which the orbital radius is reduced and QED terms are magnified by the increased nuclear charge. The measured transition energies are higher than predicted.

Recent developments in X-ray tests of quantum electrodynamics1
Experimental tests of quantum electrodynamics (QED) have developed dramatically for simple systems of hydrogen and helium, but there has also been significant progress for medium-Z hydrogenic and helium-like atoms over the last few years. In this area, tests are often based on X-ray spectroscopic measurements, and here we review some key developments. Of particular interest is the status of few...

In this research, TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple wet chemical method. TiCl4 was used as precursor in hydrogen peroxideand ethanol. The TiO2 nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and UV-Vis spectrophotome...
متن کاملAberration-corrected X-ray spectrum imaging and Fresnel contrast to differentiate nanoclusters and cavities in helium-irradiated alloy 14YWT.
Helium accumulation negatively impacts structural materials used in neutron-irradiated environments, such as fission and fusion reactors. Next-generation fission and fusion reactors will require structural materials, such as steels, that are resistant to large neutron doses yet see service temperatures in the range most affected by helium embrittlement. Previous work has indicated the difficult...
