Current contradictory understanding of passivation comes from overly-complex passive models, defective characterization and misplaced theoretical approaches. From brand-new experimentation, we find that a Ti passive membrane has…
We use long-term electron and proton in-situ measurements made by the CXD particle instruments, developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory and carried on board GPS satellites, to determine total ionizing dose (TID) values and daily/yearly…
Field evaporation in atom probe tomography (APT) includes known processes related to surface migration of atoms, such as the so-called roll-up mechanism. They lead to trajectory aberrations and artefacts on the detector. These processes are…

Reverse biasing triple-junction GaInP/Ga(In)As/Ge solar cells may affect their performance by the formation of permanent shunts even if the reverse breakdown voltage is not reached. In previous works, it was observed that, amid the three…
Physics goals of the STAR Experiment at RHIC in recent (and future) years drive the need to operate the STAR TPC at ever higher luminosities, leading to increased ionization levels in the TPC gas. The resulting ionic space charge introduces…
