Plasma-laser assisted synthesis of nanoparticles for antibacterial coatings

The “green synthesis” of colloidal nanoparticles and their application for the antibacterial coatings is based on the plasma-laser assisted ablation in liquids. Nanoparticles are synthesized through the process of laser ablation of target in water, which enables additional advantages in comparison with the other standard wet chemical synthesis, such as simplicity and complete utilization of materials. Furthermore, these nanoparticles are used and tested for antibacterial coatings on polymers, where they are grafted or imbedded through atmospheric pressure plasma assisted processes. The advantages of different coatings made from those nanoparticles are presented as well.Plasmatexinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic rays and Gamma Astronomy (TAIGA): Status, results and perspectives

We present the current status of high-energy cosmic-ray physics and gamma-ray astronomy at the Tunka Astrophysical Center (AC). This complex is located in the Tunka Valley, about 50 km from Lake Baikal. Present efforts are focused on the construction of the first stage of the gamma-ray observatory TAIGA - the TAIGA prototype. TAIGA (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma Astronomy) is designed for the study of gamma rays and charged cosmic rays in the energy range 1013 eV–1018 eV. The array includes a network of wide angle timing Cherenkov stations (TAIGA-HiSCORE), each with a FOV = 0.6 sr, plus up to 16 IACTs (FOV - 10∘× 10∘). This part covers an area of 5 km2. Additional muon detectors (TAIGA-Muon), with a total coverage of 2000 m2, are distributed over an area of 1 km2
