Effect of ion-plasma treatment on oxidation-reduction processes in lithium-titanium-zinc ferrites
We examined the effect of nitrogen, oxygen and argon plasma on the diffusion-controlled oxidation-reduction processes in lithium-titanium-zinc ferrite ceramics by measuring the activation energy of electrical conductivity in the depth of the sample. The experimental results show that the high-temperature treatment in polycrystalline ferrites by nitrogen or argon ion plasma greatly accelerates the oxidation-reduction processes in ferrites and changes the process direction depending on the partial pressure of oxygen
Gamma Factory at CERN – novel research tools made of light
We discuss the possibility of creating novel research tools by producing and
storing highly relativistic beams of highly ionised atoms in the CERN
accelerator complex, and by exciting their atomic degrees of freedom with
lasers to produce high-energy photon beams. Intensity of such photon beams
would be by several orders of magnitude higher than offered by the presently
operating light sources, in the particularly interesting gamma-ray energy
domain of 0.1-400 MeV. In this energy range, the high-intensity photon beams
can be used to produce secondary beams of polarised electrons, polarised
positrons, polarised muons, neutrinos, neutrons and radioactive ions. New
research opportunities in a wide domain of fundamental and applied physics can
be opened by the Gamma Factory scientific programme based on the above primary
and secondary beams.Comment: 12 pages; presented by W. Placzek at the XXV Cracow Epiphany
