Effect if wall currents on numerical simulation of pinch formation

Abstract

A model is developed for plasma in the 'vacuum' region outside a compressed Z-pinch. Currents induced at the wall are shown to remove the outward bounce after compression observed in numerical simulations of pinch formation.

Solution chemistry and secondary ion emission from amine-glycerol solutions

“…Three weighed aliquots of each solution were neutralized with 0.1000 N HCI and back-titrated with 0.1000 N NaOH (bromocresol green indicator) to determine amine concentration. Activity coefficients of the various amines in glycerol were less than those measured by Christie and Crisp [24] for the same amines in water, for which soLutions substantial positive deviation was reported. Simply put, amine-glycerol solutions are more nearly ideal than amine-water solutions , as expected.…”

“…Attempts to measure amine partial pressure in glycerol solutions by using the method of Christie and Crisp [24] failed to yield reasonable or reproducible results. Consequently, glycerol solutions of each amine were prepared from dry glycerol such that the partial pressure of the amine would be approximately 0.1-2 torr if the solutions were ideal, that is, using Raoult's law and the known vapor pressure of each amine [21].…”

A Review on Principles and Applications of Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM)

“…There are four major types of instrumentations with different specializations and limitations. The classical Wheatstone bridge ( Figure a) is widely used for thermal resistance measurements and was first developed over a century ago . Four resistors, including the variable resistance probe, and a potentiometer are used for pre‐experiment compensation are needed to operate the SThM system.…”
