  • X-Ray Thomson Scattering in High Energy Density Plasmas
    REVIEWS OF MODERN PHYSICS, VOLUME 81, OCTOBER–DECEMBER 2009 X-ray Thomson scattering in high energy density plasmas Siegfried H. Glenzer L-399, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, University of California, P.O. Box 808, Livermore, California 94551, USA Ronald Redmer Institut für Physik, Universität Rostock, Universitätsplatz 3, D-18051 Rostock, Germany ͑Published 1 December 2009͒ Accurate x-ray scattering techniques to measure the physical properties of dense plasmas have been developed for applications in high energy density physics. This class of experiments produces short-lived hot dense states of matter with electron densities in the range of solid density and higher where powerful penetrating x-ray sources have become available for probing. Experiments have employed laser-based x-ray sources that provide sufficient photon numbers in narrow bandwidth spectral lines, allowing spectrally resolved x-ray scattering measurements from these plasmas. The backscattering spectrum accesses the noncollective Compton scattering regime which provides accurate diagnostic information on the temperature, density, and ionization state. The forward scattering spectrum has been shown to measure the collective plasmon oscillations. Besides extracting the standard plasma parameters, density and temperature, forward scattering yields new observables such as a direct measure of collisions and quantum effects. Dense matter theory relates scattering spectra with the dielectric function and structure factors that determine the physical properties of matter. Applications to radiation-heated and shock-compressed matter have demonstrated accurate measurements of compression and heating with up to picosecond temporal resolution. The ongoing development of suitable x-ray sources and facilities will enable experiments in a wide range of research areas including inertial confinement fusion, radiation hydrodynamics, material science, or laboratory astrophysics.

  • Structuraland Magnetic Properties of Er3fe5-Xalxo12 Garnets
    CHAPTER 3 Structural and Magnetic Properties of Er3Fe5-xAlxO12 Garnets Ibrahim Bsoul1,a, Khaled Hawamdeh1,b, Sami H. Mahmood2,c 1Physics Department, Al al-Bayt University, Mafraq 13040, Jordan 2Physics Department, The University of Jordan, Amman 11942, Jordan [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Er3Fe5-xAlxO12 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.8) garnets were prepared by ball milling and sintering at 1300ºC. Rietveld refinement of the samples revealed a garnet structure with Ia3d symmetry. The lattice parameter, cell volume, X-ray density and magnetization of the prepared garnets decreased with the increase of Al content (x). The coercivity of the garnets increased with x, but remained generally low, being below 20 Oe. Low temperature magnetic measurements versus temperature indicated that the magnetization of x = 0.0 exhibited a compensation temperature at ˗186º C, however, x = 0.8 exhibited a minimum at a higher temperature of ˗134º C. Keywords Rare Earth Iron Garnet; Structural Characteristics; Magnetic Properties; Compensation Temperature; Thermomagnetic curves. Contents 1. Introduction 2. Experimental procedures 3. Results and discussion 3.1 XRD measurements 3.2 Magnetic measurements 3.3 Temperature dependence of the magnetic properties 3.4 Low temperature measurements 4. Conclusions References 1. INTRODUCTION Ferrimagnetic garnets exemplified by yttrium iron garnet (YIG) was discovery in 1956, and received considerable interest due to their low dielectric losses and remarkable performance in microwave devices and magnetic bubbles for digital memories [1, 2], in addition to their importance in the field of fundamental magnetism. The garnets have a cubic crystal structure 3+ 3+ 3+ 2− 3+ with space group Ia3d and chemical formula {R3 }c[Fe2 ]a(Fe3 )d O12 , where R is a trivalent rare-earth ion occupying dodecahedral (c) sites, and Fe3+ ions occupy octahedral [a- sublattice] and tetrahedral (d-sublattice) sites in the garnet lattice.

The effects of substrate temperature and oxygen pressure on composition, crystallinity, optical transmission and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) linewidth have been investigated. An FMR linewidth as low as 1.75 mT at 6 GHz was achieved by depositing YIG on YAG substrates with (100) orientation at a substrate temperature of ~1600 K and with oxygen pressure of ~1 Pa. ©2013 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (160.3820) Magneto-optical materials; (310.1860) Deposition and fabrication.

Plasma polarization spectroscopy is expected to play an iportant role i determining fast electron generation and measuring the electron distribution function. 1. INTRODUCTION Plasma polarization spectroscopy (PPS) has been eployed to verify and study the existence of non-thermal, fast electrons in laser-plasma iteraction since te first experiments by Kieffer et al. 131. The lasers intensity i these measurements as been in the range 10 4 - 1016 W/CM2. Measurements of laser absorption at igher intensities < 1018 W/cm 2 have been made 4 but without employing x-ray polarimetry Teoretical studies of fast-electron generation and teir effect o te x-ray linear polarization have been made 561, which considered laser itensities as hig as 10111 W/CM2. Here we describe a planned effort to se PPS as a diagnostic for determining fast electron generation and eergy partition of short pulse lasers interacting with matter at relativistic laser itensities up to 1021 W/Cm2. 11.

  • A Tunable Magneto-Acoustic Oscillator with Low Phase Noise
    A tunable magneto-acoustic oscillator with low phase noise A. Litvinenko,1, ∗ R. Khymyn,2 V. Tyberkevych,3 V. Tikhonov,1 A. Slavin,3 and S. Nikitov1, 4, 5 1Laboratory of metamaterials, Saratov State University, 410012, Saratov, Russia. 2Department of Physics, University of Gothenburg, 412 96, Gothenburg, Sweden. 3Department of Physics, Oakland University, 48309, Rochester, Michigan, USA. 4Kotelnikov Institute of Radioengineering and Electronics of Russian Academy of Sciences, 125009, Moscow, Russia. 5Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (National Research University), 141700, Dolgoprudny, Moscow Region, Russia. (Dated: November 17, 2020) A frequency-tunable low phase noise magneto-acoustic resonator is developed on the base of a parallel-plate straight-edge bilayer consisting of a yttrium-iron garnet (YIG) layer grown on a substrate of a gallium-gadolinium garnet(GGG). When a YIG/GGG sample forms an ideal parallel plate, it supports a series of high-quality-factor acoustic modes standing along the plate thickness. Due to the magnetostriction of the YIG layer the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) mode of the YIG layer can strongly interact with the acoustic thickness modes of the YIG/GGG structure, when the modes' frequencies match. A particular acoustic thickness mode used for the resonance excitations of the hybrid magneto-acoustic oscillations in a YIG/GGG bilayer is chosen by the YIG layer FMR frequency, which can be tuned by the variation of the external bias magnetic field. A composite magneto-acoustic oscillator, which includes an FMR-based resonance pre-selector, is developed to guarantee satisfaction of the Barkhausen criteria for a single-acoustic-mode oscillation regime. The developed low phase noise composite magneto-acoustic oscillator can be tuned from 0.84 GHz to 1 GHz with an increment of about 4.8 MHz (frequency distance between the adjacent acoustic thickness modes in a YIG/GGG parallel plate), and demonstrates the phase noise of -116 dBc/Hz at the offset frequency of 10 KHz.

Merriman Submitted to the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering on May 22, 2014 In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Science and Engineering ABSTRACT Fusion has been "forty years away", that is, forty years to implementation, ever since the idea of harnessing energy from a fusion reactor was conceived in the 1950s. In reality, however, it has yet to become a viable energy source. Fusion's promise and failure are both investigated by reviewing the history of the United States domestic fusion program and comparing technological forecasting by fusion scientists, fusion program budget plans, and fusion program budget history.

Frenje1 1Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA Email: [email protected] The field of nuclear diagnostics for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) is broadly reviewed from its beginning in the seventies to present day. During this time, the sophistication of the ICF facilities and the suite of nuclear diagnostics have substantially evolved, generally a consequence of the efforts and experience gained on previous facilities. As the fusion yields have increased several orders of magnitude during these years, the quality of the nuclear-fusion-product measurements has improved significantly, facilitating an increased level of understanding about the physics governing the nuclear phase of an ICF implosion. The field of ICF has now entered an era where the fusion yields are high enough for nuclear measurements to provide spatial, temporal and spectral information, which have proven indispensable to understanding the performance of an ICF implosion. At the same time, the requirements on the nuclear diagnostics have also become more stringent.

    A First Principle Study on Magneto-Optical Effects in Ferromagnetic Semiconductors Y3Fe5O12 and Bi3Fe5O12 1 1,2, Wei-Kuo Li and Guang-Yu Guo ∗ 1Department of Physics and Center for Theoretical Physics, National Taiwan University, Taipei 10617, Taiwan 2Physics Division, National Center for Theoretical Sciences, Hsinchu 30013, Taiwan (Dated: August 4, 2020) The magneto-optical (MO) effects not only are a powerful probe of magnetism and electronic structure of magnetic solids but also have valuable applications in high-density data-storage tech- nology. Yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12) (YIG) and bismuth iron garnet (Bi3Fe5O12) (BIG) are two widely used magnetic semiconductors with significant magneto-optical effects. In particular, YIG has been routinely used as a spin current injector. In this paper, we present a thorough theoretical investigation on magnetism, electronic, optical and MO properties of YIG and BIG, based on the density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation plus onsite Coulomb repul- sion. We find that YIG exhibits significant MO Kerr and Faraday effects in UV frequency range that are comparable to ferromagnetic iron. Strikingly, BIG shows gigantic MO effects in visible frequency region that are several times larger than YIG. We find that these distinctly different MO properties of YIG and BIG result from the fact that the magnitude of the calculated MO conduc- tivity (σxy) of BIG is one order of magnitude larger than that of YIG. Interestingly, the calculated band structures reveal that both valence and conduction bands across the semiconducting band gap in BIG are purely spin-down states, i.e., BIG is a single spin semiconductor.
