Electronic and Positronic Guiding Center Ions
نویسنده
چکیده
A novel type of guiding-center drift ion is described. These ions occur only in strong magnetic fields. They consist of a neutral atom to which either an electron or positron is weakly-bound, at sufficiently large radius that it may be described by E × B drift dynamics. Such ions may occur naturally in astrophysical plasmas and may have been formed in recent antihydrogen experiments, where their presence would provide proof that deeply-bound H̄ atoms are being created.

متن کاملGuiding Center Orbit Following Calculation of Edge Particle and Heat Transport in Stochastic Magnetic Field
Particle and heat transport in tokamak edge is investigated by guiding center orbit following calculation. The guiding center equation is solved for both electrons and ions in the presence of magnetic perturbation. It is suggested that the remnants of the magnetic islands play a role in characterizing the radial transport. The transport coefficient is estimated which also demonstrate local stru...
متن کاملEnhancement factors for positron annihilation studies
Electron and positron densities for a number of positron binding atoms and ions are used to benchmark methods used to compute positron annihilation rates in solids. The electron and positron densities from ab initio calculations are multiplied by some commonly used enhancement factors and integrated to give the annihilation rate. These are then compared with the close to exact annihilation rate...
متن کاملElectronic and positronic states in YBa , Cu . , O ,
A b s h L m calculations have been done in order to oblain elecmnic and p i m n i c slates in YBa~Cu~Os. The annihilation rates have been calculated including the enhancement effects. Theoretical momentum density spectra are used for prediction of Fermi surface signals.
متن کاملPositron confinement in embedded lithium nanoclusters
Quantum confinement of positrons in nanoclusters offers the opportunity to obtain detailed information on the electronic structure of nanoclusters by application of positron annihilation spectroscopy techniques. In this work, positron confinement is investigated in lithium nanoclusters embedded in monocrystalline MgO. These nanoclusters were created by means of ion implantation and subsequent a...
