Atoms or pairs of ions picked up by probe tips used in dynamic force microscopy (DFM) can be strongly displaced and even hop discontinuously upon approach to the sample surface. The energy barriers for some of those hops are of the right…
The increasingly congested near earth environment requires accurate orbital modelling to prevent collision events that threaten access to space infrastructure. Ionospheric aerodynamics are the largest non-conservative source of orbital…
A model of diluted random field sustained by quenched volume deformations is shown to reproduce puzzling physical features found in X(CN)_{x}Y_{1-x} mixed cyanide crystals. X is an alkali metal (K, Na or Rb) and Y is a spherical halogen ion…
We consider the numerical approximation of single phase flow in porous media by a mixed finite element method with mass lumping. Our work extends previous results of Wheeler and Yotov, who showed that mass lumping together with an…
Highly-directional image artifacts such as ion mill curtaining, mechanical scratches, or image striping from beam instability degrade the interpretability of micrographs. These unwanted, aperiodic features extend the image along a primary…
The selective separation of same-charge ions is a longstanding challenge in resource recovery, battery recycling, and water treatment. Theoretical studies have shown that ratchet-based ion pumps (RBIPs) can separate ions with the same…
We use (1+1$'$) resonance-enhanced multiphoton photodissociation (REMPD) to detect the population in individual rovibronic states of trapped HfF$^+$ with a single-shot absolute efficiency of 18%, which is over 200 times better than that…
The first operation of GEM gas gain elements in negative ion gas mixtures is reported. Gains up to several thousand were obtained from single-stage GEMs in carbon disulfide vapor at low pressure, and in mixtures of carbon disulfide with…
A recent Letter [1] has proposed a device, consisting of an rf SQUID with the junction replaced by a double one, i.e. a Bloch transistor. For symmetric Josephson couplings, and for specific flux bias and gate voltage applied to the…
Initiating impact ionization of avalanche breakdown essentially requires applying a high electric field in a long active region, hampering carrier-multiplication with high gain, low bias and superior noise performance. Here we report the…
We employ a particle-in-cell Monte Carlo collision/particle-particle particle-mesh (PIC-MCC/PPPM) simulation to study the plasma flow around and the charge distribution of a three-dimensional dust cluster in the sheath of a low-pressure rf…
We propose a filter method to generate electron beams of high polarization from bubble and blow-out wakefield accelerators. The mechanism is based on the idea to identify all electron-beam subsets with low-polarization and to filter them…
We demonstrate, for the time, the operation of a bubble-assisted Liquid Hole Multiplier (LHM) in liquid argon. The LHM, sensitive to both radiation-induced ionization electrons and primary scintillation photons, consists of a perforated…
Magic angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) hosts narrow moir\'e bands with meV-scale energy splittings, making its correlated phases sensitive to both material parameters and modeling choices in low-energy downfolding. We develop an ab…
Centrifugal plasma traps, in which plasma is confined partly by centrifugal forces, represent a possible path to fusion energy production. In centrifugal plasma traps, electric fields naturally arise in the direction parallel to the…
Geometric frustration among competing spin exchanges can give rise to novel quantum phases by enhancing fluctuations that drive magnetic systems beyond the classical regime. We investigate the frustrated array of strongly correlated spin…
We investigate the kinetic effects of upstream, magnetic field-aligned, flow shear on anti-parallel magnetic reconnection using 2.5D Particle-In-Cell simulations. Our results demonstrate that flow shear significantly alters the reconnection…
The Gas Electron Multiplier detectors with wire and metallic electrodes, with a gas filling in the gap between them were proposed and tested. The main advantage of these Gas Electron Multipliers compared to standard ones consists in their…
The Josephson dynamics of the Bose-Einstein condensation with Raman-induced spin-orbit coupling is investigated. A quasi-1D trap is divided into two reservoirs by an optical barrier. Before the tunneling between the reservoirs is turned on,…
Efficient collection of fluorescence from trapped ions is crucial for quantum optics and quantum computing applications, specifically, for qubit state detection and in generating single photons for ion-photon and remote ion entanglement. In…
