The Color Glass Condensate formalism and its application to high energy heavy ion collisions at RHIC are discussed. We argue that the RHIC data supports the view that the Color Glass Condensate provides the initial conditions for goldgold collisions at RHIC while final state (Quark Gluon Plasma) effects are responsible for the high pt suppression in mid rapidity. At forward rapidities in deuter...

A study has been made to investigate the detection sensitivity of Borate Glass for the heavily ionizing fission fragment tracks. The latent damage tracks produced by fission fragments in Borate Glass, with and without Aluminium Oxide as an additive, have been studied under a high resolution scanning electron microscope. Tracks have been found and studied only in the Borate Glass samples with no...

Objective: To evaluate the influence of the surface used for manipulation (paper block and glass slab) on the mechanical properties (flexural strength and elastic modulus) and ion release (F) of two resin modified glass ionomer cements (RMGIC). Methods: Two RMGICs: Vitro Fil LC (DFL) and Riva Light (SDI) were used. The materials were manipulated on two different surfaces: block of paper and gla...

The oxide glass-based anodes for lithium-ion Batteries (LiBs) still suffer from two critical drawbacks, that is, low reversible capacity and electrical conductivity. Here, we report a new way to overcome the drawbacks. Specifically, chose 50Fe2O3–50P2O5 (50Fe50P) glass as anode material LiBs, then thermally treat it at 1118 K (Tg+345 K) 0.5 h under reducing atmosphere (5 mol% H2+95 Ar). thermal...

Scanning tunnelling microscopy observations resolve the structure and dynamics of metallic glass Cu100-xHfx films and demonstrate scanning tunnelling microscopy control of aging at a metallic glass surface. Surface clusters exhibit heterogeneous hopping dynamics. Low Hf concentration films feature an aged surface of larger, slower clusters. Argon ion-sputtering destroys the aged configuration, ...

Gallium ultramicroelectrodes for amperometric measurements in scanning electrochemical microscopy were fabricated by introduction of liquid Ga into drawn glass micropipets. Cyclic voltammetry of Ru(NH(3))(6)(3+) and the use of this species for SECM imaging is described. Double-barrel micropipet tips with a Ga amperometric electrode and an ion-selective (K(+)) potentiometric probe can also be co...

We developed room-temperature bonding of micro-nanofluidic device using fluorine induced plasma activation method. Fluorine was induced by O2 reactive ion etching (RIE) plasma treatment with Teflon Pieces which increased the bonding strength between fused silica glass substrates. The room-temperature bonded fused silica glass micro-nanofluidic device had high bonding strength as well as could w...
