Influence of Accelerated Aging on the Fiber-Matrix Adhesion of Regenerated Cellulose Fiber-Reinforced Bio-Polyamide
(2023-03-23)
With regard to the sustainability and biological origin of plastic components, regenerated cellulose fiber (RCF)-reinforced polymers are expected to replace other composites in the future. For use under severe conditions, for example, as a housing in the engine compartment, the resistance of the composites and the impact on the fiber and fiber-matrix adhesion must be investigated. Composites of bio-polyamide with a reinforcement of 20 wt.% RCF were compounded using a twinscrew extruder. The test specimens were ...

Artificial intelligence for online characterization of ultrashort X-ray free-electron laser pulses
(2022-10-24)
X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) as the world’s brightest light sources provide ultrashort X-ray pulses with a duration typically in the order of femtoseconds. Recently, they have approached and entered the attosecond regime, which holds new promises for single-molecule imaging and studying nonlinear and ultrafast phenomena such as localized electron dynamics. The technological evolution of XFELs toward well-controllable light sources for precise metrology of ultrafast processes has been, however, hampered by the ...

Mechanisms of one-photon two-site double ionization after resonant inner-valence excitation in Ne clusters
(2023-01-30)
The role of interatomic and intermolecular energy and charge-transfer processes in weakly bound matter is currently lively debated due to emerging destructive low-energy electrons and radicals. Here, we discuss two mechanisms of single-photon two-site double ionization occurring competitively or subsequently to resonant interatomic Coulombic decay (rICD) in inner-valence (2s→np) excited Ne dimers and clusters. The first mechanism is photoelectron-impact ionization which is, in general, not related to resonant excitation, ...

Miniaturized interferometric confocal distance sensor for surface profiling with data rates at ultrasonic frequencies
(2023-01-12)
Point-wise measuring profilometers like the tactile stylus instruments or optical sensors are established measurement tools in science and industry to measure and characterize surface textures. We present a fiber-coupled laser interferometric confocal distance sensor for surface profiling. The sensor is characterized by small geometric dimensions and by its high lateral
scanning speed. The ability to measure specularly reflecting and rough surface textures are demonstrated by performing several measurements on a ...

Lateral resolution enhanced interference microscopy using virtual annular apertures
(2023-01-27)
The lateral resolution in microscopic imaging generally depends on both, the wavelength of light and the numerical aperture of the microscope objective lens. To quantify the lateral resolution Ernst Abbe considered an optical grating illuminated by plane waves. In contrast, the Rayleigh criterion holds for two point sources or point scatterers separated by a lateral distance, which are
supposed to emit spherical waves. A portion of each spherical wave is collected by the objective lens and results in an Airy disc ...

Theoretical study of spin polarization in multiphoton ionization of Xe
(2023-04-21)
Spin polarization in the multiphoton above-threshold ionization of 5p3/2- and 5p1/2-electrons of Xe with intense 395nm, circularly polarized laser pulses, is investigated theoretically. For this purpose, we solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation on the basis of spherical spinors. We, thus, simultaneously propagate the spin-up and spin-down single-active-electron wave packets, driven by the laser pulses in the ionic potential, which includes the spin–orbit interaction explicitly. The present theoretical results ...

Observation of a Long-lived Electronic Coherence Modulated by Vibrational Dynamics in Molecular Nd³+- Complexes at Room Temperature
(2023-03-23)
Temporally delayed, phase-locked coherent pairs of near IR femtosecond laser pulses were employed to study electronic coherences in molecular Nd³+-complexes at room temperature. Dissolved and solid complexes were studied under a confocal microscope set-up with fluorescence detection. The observed electronic coherence on a few hundred femtoseconds time scale is modulated by additional coherent wave packet dynamics, which we attribute mainly to be vibrational in nature. In future, the complexes may serve as prototypes ...

Three‑dimensional close‑to‑substrate trajectories of magnetic microparticles in dynamically changing magnetic field landscapes
(2022-12-03)
The transport of magnetic particles (MPs) by dynamic magnetic field landscapes (MFLs) using magnetically patterned substrates is promising for the development of Lab‑on‑a‑chip (LOC) systems. The inherent close‑to‑substrate MP motion is sensitive to changing particle–substrate interactions. Thus, the detection of a modified particle–substrate separation distance caused by surface binding of an analyte is expected to be a promising probe in analytics and diagnostics. Here, we present an essential prerequisite for such ...

Fabrication of High-Quality Thin Single-Crystal Diamond Membranes with Low Surface Roughness
(2022-10-17)
Certain aspects before and during the fabrication of single-crystal diamond (SCD) membranes are highlighted, which are decisive to obtain high-quality membranes with low surface roughness values around 0.2 nm on a small area scale. In addition to the requirements for the starting material, including a high planarity and a moderate surface roughness, the importance of cleaning processes to minimize particles and impurities before and during the structuring is emphasized. With the help of a planarization procedure, ...

Experimental quantification of site-specific efficiency of Interatomic Coulombic Decay after inner shell ionization
(2023-03-17)
Interatomic Coulombic Decay (ICD) and related interatomic and intermolecular autoionization mechanisms are ubiquitous decay processes of excited atoms and molecules in an environment. It is commonly accepted that the efficiency of ICD of an ionized atom in a cluster increases with an increasing number of nearest neighbors. Here, we present a method for experimental validation of this assumption by a site-specific and quantitative comparison of ICD and its main competitor, Auger decay, in core-level ionized Kr clusters. ...
