A change in the shape of a charged surface of liquid hydrogen and helium — the formation of a solitary wave ~a positively charged hump for hydrogen and a negatively charged dimple for helium! – is observed in an electric field exceeding a critical value under conditions of total compensation of the applied field by the surface charge. © 1997 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-3640~97!01107-9#

The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of Cu doped Na 2 HAs0 4 -7H 2 0 single crystals were studied at room temperature. The results indicate the substitutional entrance of Cu in two magnetically inequivalent Na sites. Charge compensation is supposed to be fulfilled by proton vacancies. The spin Hamiltonian parameters were determined. The ground state for Cu seems to indicate the dominance...

Introduction: Catecholamines are charged neurotransmitters found in the neuroendocrine cells called chromaffins. The release of catecholamine, through a narrow fusion pore of a chromaffin cell requires a charge compensation by other ions to maintain an osmotic balance of charges. The aim of this research is to show that the exocytotic catecholamine release is not associated with the cation flux...

DOI: 10.1002/aenm.201502143 in battery technology have come since its fi rst demonstration, the high energy demands needed to electrify the automotive industry have not yet been met with the current technology. [ 2,3 ] One considerable bottleneck is the cathode energy density. [ 2,3 ] The lithium layered oxides utilize transition metal redox pairs for charge/ discharge compensation during lithi...

Particle loss due to space charge effects is a severe problem in the low energy section of accelerators. The extraction system and beam transport sections are the most sensitive parts. Especially for the case of a laser-ion source (LIS) the extraction of ions from very dense plasma can lead to a high current density in the extraction gap. To make use of this high current density (i.e. to maximi...

The final focus system for a 5 TeV collider may be greatly shortened, from 40 km to 0.1-1 km, provided chromatic correction is abandoned, and replaced with ultra-low energy spread of 10%. A conventional singlefrequency linac cannot produce bunches of the requisite length and charge, with an energy spread this small. In this note we elaborate on previous discussion of harmonic acceleration for t...

There is a new magnetic alloy called Finemet which has very constant μ′pQf up to ∼2 kG and is very stable at high magnet flux density and temperature. It may be a good candidate for high-gradient rf cavities.However, it has a rather low quality factor and is therefore very lossy. We compare the pros and cons of Finemet versus the common ferrite, when used in low-energy accelerating cavities, in...

The use of charge-coupled device (CCD) circuits in Z-plane architectures for focal-plane image processing is discussed. The low-power, compact layout nature of CCDs makes them attractive for Z-plane application. Three application areas are addressed; non-uniformity compensation using CCD MDAC circuits, neighborhood image processing functions implemented with CCD circuits, and the use of CCDs fo...

Attitude jitter is a common phenomenon in the application of high resolution satellites, which may result in large errors of geo-positioning and mapping accuracy. Therefore, it is critical to detect and compensate attitude jitter to explore the full geometric potential of high resolution satellites. In this paper, a framework of jitter detection and compensation for high resolution satellites i...
