Rochelle salt: a prototype of particle physics a
نویسنده
چکیده
Rochelle salt has a remarkable characteristic of becoming more ordered for a range of high temperatures before melting. In the particle physics language this means more symmetry breaking for high T. In many realistic field theories this is a perfectly consistent scenario which has profound consequences in the early universe. In particular it implies that there may be no domain wall and monopole problems, and it may also play an important role in baryogenesis if CP and P are broken spontaneously. In the case of the monopole problem this may require a large background charge of the universe. The natural candidates for this background charge are a possible lepton number in the neutrino sea or global continous R-charges in supersymmetric theories.

متن کاملDesign and fabrication of a prototype planar undulator
The main goal of this work is to get the fabrication technology of the insertion devices. A prototype undulator with the period of 48mm and the peak magnetic field of 0.75 T has been fabricated using NdFeB-SH35 magnets based on the cooperation between ILSF and NSTRI. The total magnet length is 483 mm and the number of periods is 8. The magnetic parameters of the undulator are determined in orde...

In this work, the fabrication of Rochelle salt based piezoelectric structures is illustrated. Structures composed of paper and Rochelle salt are easily manufactured using simple processes. Both manufacturing and the material itself are environmental friendly. Additionally Rochelle salt is biocompatible. In the paradigm of a cleaner piezoelectric technology, the fabrication of active sensing or ...
متن کاملThe effects of different molten salt composition on morphology and purity of ZrB2 powder obtained via direct molten salt reaction method
Zirconium Diboride (ZrB2) powder was synthesized at low temperature via a Direct Molten Salt Reaction (DMSR) method. The influence of different salt compositions including eutectic mixture of (KF-NaF), (KF-KCl) and (KCl-NaCl) on the morphology and purity of the reaction products was studied. The obtained samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD...
متن کاملInfluence of Relaxing Defects on the Paraelectric-Ferroelectric Phase Transitions of Rochelle Salt
It is well known that different types of crystal defects influence the static and dynamic behaviour of the dielectric polarization of Rochelle salt crystals. Particularly strong effects appear near the paraelectric-ferroelectric phase transitions. In this paper it is shown that a slightly modified relaxing defect cell model which has been developed [1] in order to explain the narrow central pea...
