Photon–electron coincidence experiments at synchrotron radiation facilities with arbitrary bunch modes
(2021-04-21)
We report the adaptation of an electron–photon coincidence detection scheme to the multibunch hybrid mode of the synchrotron radiation source BESSY II (Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin). Single-event-based data acquisition and evaluation, combined with the use of relative detection times between the coincident particles, enable the acquisition of proper coincidence signals from a quasi-continuous excitation pattern. The background signal produced by accidental coincidences in the time difference representation is modeled ...

Self-referencing circular dichroism ion yield measurements for improved statistics using femtosecond laser pulses
(2021-03-10)
The combination of circular dichroism with laser mass spectrometry via the measurement of ion yields is a powerful tool in chiral recognition, but the measured anisotropies are generally weak. The method presented in this contribution reduces the measurement error significantly. A common path optical setup generates a pair of counter-rotating laser foci in the interaction region of a time-of-flight spectrometer. As the space focus condition is fulfilled for both foci individually, this becomes a twin-peak ion source ...

Translatory and rotatory motion of exchange-bias capped Janus particles controlled by dynamic magnetic field landscapes
(2021-11-08)
Magnetic Janus particles (MJPs), fabricated by covering a non-magnetic spherical particle with a hemispherical magnetic in-plane exchange-bias layer system cap, display an onion magnetization state for comparably large diameters of a few microns. In this work, the motion characteristics of these MJPs will be investigated when they are steered by a magnetic field landscape over prototypical parallel-stripe domains, dynamically varied by superposed external magnetic field pulse sequences, in an aqueous medium. We ...

Modelling stress‐state dependent nonlocal damage and failure of ductile metals
(2021-01-25)
Damage and failure of ductile metals is highly influenced by the stress state. In fact, void growth takes place under hydrostatic tensile loading and void coalescence leads eventually to ductile failure. A completely different damage mechanism occurs for shear dominated loading that results in void elongation within a narrow shear band. In order to account for both failure mechanisms, a stress state dependent damage model is proposed. The model is based on a continuum damage mechanics approach, whereby nonlinear ...

3D Arrangement of Magnetic Particles in Thin Polymer Films Assisted by Magnetically Patterned Exchange Bias Layer Systems
(2021-10-31)
The possibility to arrange and embed magnetic micro- and nanoparticles in thin polymer film systems using flat magnetically patterned substrate templates is investigated. In contrast to self-organized particle rows forming by applying a homogeneous magnetic field, particles adapt to the magnetic field landscape of the substrate's magnetic pattern prior to polymer crosslinking. Crosslinking then fixes the particle positions in the polymer. The process is tested for composites of hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) ...

Development of optical MEMS-based micromirror arrays on flexible substrate for curvilinear surfaces
(2021-04-18)
This research work is targeting to demonstrate that micromirror arrays can also be fabricated successfully on flexible substrates—not only on glass substrates. The paper reports on the technological data of a successful process on a flexible substrate for curvilinear surfaces. Polyethylene naphthalate substrate was selected for its low cost, strong resistance against chemicals which are used in fabrication process and sufficient optical transmission for the visible and near infrared spectrum. Finally, electrostatic ...

Casimir-Polder interaction of neutrons with metal or dielectic surfaces
(2021-07-15)
We predict a repulsive Casimir–Polder-type dispersion interaction between a single neutron and a metal or dielectric surface. We consider a scenario where a single neutron is subject to an external magnetic field. Due to its intrinsic magnetic moment, the neutron then forms a magnetisable two-level system which can exchange virtual photons with a nearby surface. The resulting dispersion interaction between a purely magnetic object (neutron) and a purely electric one (surface) is found to be repulsive, in contrast to ...

Actuation of an elastic membrane by the use of an electrorheological valve
(2021-01-25)
The dynamic response of a fluidic actuator is investigated on the basis of numerical simulations. With this actuator a membrane is excited to oscillate by means of an electrorheological valve. For this purpose the solid and fluid domains are coupled. Furthermore, the constitutive equation of the fluid is coupled to the electric field. The dynamic response is discussed on the example of a variable stiffness of the membrane. Actuators of this type offer the potential to delay the transition of a boundary layer.

Simultaneous determination of Bingham material parameters using a ball probe concrete rheometer
(2021-01-25)
A new evaluation method allowing direct determination of the Bingham parameters from ball probe rheometers. A non‐linear relationship between the direct measured variables and the material parameters is revealed through numerical parameter studies. The method was validated on two devices of the ball probe type with different dimensions. Comparison with other methods showed good agreement. It is pointed out how the evaluation method can be transferred to devices having other dimensions by performing a limited number ...

On A Hybrid Concept for Approximating Self‐Excited Periodic Oscillations of Large‐Scaled Dynamical Systems
(2021-01-25)
Concerning the approximation of self‐excited periodic oscillations in large‐scaled mechanical systems involving strong nonlinearities, this contribution suggests a concept for an efficient treatment. The presented Hybrid FD‐HB method takes the advantages of both schemes Harmonic Balance and Finite Difference to enhance the ratio of computational cost and accuracy for mechanical systems with many degrees of freedom. Within this contribution the residual equations, required when applying a NEWTON‐RAPHSON‐scheme, are ...
