New measurements of the angular distributions of effusive gas beams
emanating from two collimating tube sources are presented. These sources are a
single tube of aspect ratio 25 and a multi-capillary array of aspect ratio
100. The data were collected for a wide variety of gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe,
H2, N2, CO2 and C2H2) over a broad
range of driving pressures. The profiles were obtained by rotating the
ionization gauge gas detector about the centre of the exit of the tube. The
data were acquired as a function of the gas flow rate and pressure in the
source line. Comparisons of the present measurements with other experimental
work and models are made.
Artificial Au atomic chains with individual Pd impurities were assembled from single metal atoms with a scanning tunneling microscope on a NiAl(110) surface. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) revealed an electronic resonance 2.15 eV above the Fermi energy localized within 4 A of single Pd atom impurities and two electronic resonances 2.25 eV and 2.95 eV above the Fermi energy localized within 8 A of Pd dimer impurities. The emergence of these localized resonances was studied by STS at each stage of the atom-by-atom assembly. Additionally, conductance images of the chains revealed delocalized electronic density oscillations in the pure Au segments of the chains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
