It has been shown that high performance cavity BPM's are capable of accurate beam trajectory angle and beam ‘tilt’, (x-z or y-z correlation) measurements [1],[2]. Such a device will be very useful for the optimization of a variety of beamlines, such as high current linacs, bunch rotators and storage rings. The signal from a non-axial trajectory or a tilted beam is in quadrature to that observed...

A study of the effects of small-angle specimen tilt on high-resolution annular dark field images was carried out for scanning transmission electron microscopes with uncorrected and aberration-corrected probes using multislice simulations. The results indicate that even in the cases of specimen tilts of the order of 1 degree a factor of 2 reduction in the contrast of the high-resolution image sh...

We design a soft infrared metamaterial absorber based on gold nanorods dispersed in liquid crystal (LC) placed on a gold film and theoretically investigate its total absorption character. Because the nanorods align with the LC molecule, the gold nanorods/LC hybrid exhibits different permittivity as a function of tilt angle of LC. At a certain tilt angle, the absorber shows an omnidirectional to...

Maximum efficiency of surfaces that exploit solar energy, including Photovoltaic Panels and Thermal collectors, is achieved by installing them in a certain inclination (tilt). Most common approach to select an angle equal the location’s latitude. This based on astronomical calculations sun’s position throughout year but ignores meteorological factors. Cloud coverage aerosols tend change direct ...

ETRI Journal, Volume 27, Number 3, June 2005 This paper presents an efficient algorithm for using the two-axis magnetic compass in portable devices. The general magnetic compass module consists of a three-axis magnetic compass and a two-axis inclinometer to calculate tilt-compensated azimuth information. In this paper, the tilt error is compensated using just a two-axis magnetic compass and two...

Electron tomography can provide three dimensional (3D) visualization of nanoscale objects in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) from a tilt series of projected images. The accuracy of the 3D reconstruction depends on quality of input parameters, including accurate alignment in real space and accuracy of tilt and azimuth angle measurements. Here we present an electron diffraction-based in-...
