tellurium nanostructures have been prepared by physical vapor deposition method in a tube furnace. the experiments were carried out under argon gas flow at a pressure of 1 mbar. tellurium powder was evaporated by heating at 350°c and 430°c and was condensed on substrates at 110–250°c, in the downstream of argon gas flow. the products were characterized by field emission scanning electron micros...

Investigations of fluid instability and density-driven convection in soils rocks are motivated by both natural phenomena giving rise to ecological problems, human activities. Knowledge about the admixture transportation underground flows driven gravity force is relevant, for example, succeed preventing degradation soil quality or improve efficiency carbon capture sequestration technologies. We ...

A new method for improving the efficiency of laser drilling has been developed. Two synchronized free-running laser pulses from a tandem-head Nd:YAG laser are capable of drilling through 1/8-in-thick stainless-steel targets at a standoff distance of 1 m without gas-assist. The combination of a high-energy laser pulse for melting with a properly tailored high-intensity laser pulse for liquid exp...

Thermal evaporation of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) is performed with or without an activation of volatile fragments in an rf glow discharge. Without plasma assistance evaporated films are a mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons. These films are not stable in contact with water. The activation in plasma enhances cross-linking and the films become hydrocarbon plasma polymers. However, th...

Evaporation is a well known issue when handling small liquid volumes. Here we present a review of microscale assays prone to evaporation and methods to make them more robust. Applications for these assays span from combinatorial chemistry to cell-biology where the stability of concentrations and osmolarity can be critical. A dimensionless evaporation number Ev is presented and used to character...

We show that soft color rearrangement of final states can account for the appearance of rapidity gaps between jets. In the color evaporation model the probability to form a gap is simply determined by the color multiplicity of the final state. This model has no free parameters and reproduces all data obtained by the ZEUS, H1, DØ, and CDF collaborations.

We show that soft color rearrangement of nal states can account for the appearance of rapidity gaps between jets. In the color evaporation model the probability to form a gap is simply determined by the color multiplicity of the nal state. This model has no free parameters and reproduces all data obtained by the ZEUS, H1, DD, and CDF collaborations.

The effect of magnetic fields on water is still a highly controversial topic despite the vast amount of research devoted to this topic in past decades. Enhanced water evaporation in a magnetic field, however, is less disputed. The underlying mechanism for this phenomenon has been investigated in previous studies. In this paper, we present an investigation of the evaporation of water in a large ...
