Sigmund 1, A. Schinner 2 1university of Southern DK - Odense (DK), 2Johannes Kepler University - Linz (AT) The PASS code represents an implementation of Binary Stopping Theory for Swift Heavy Ions [1]. Numerous comparisons between predicted and measured stopping cross sections have been reported, starting with ref. [2] and most recently in [3]. These comparisons also include light ions at fairly low velocities. A first compilation of predicted stopping cross section [4] included ions from Li to Ar and selected atomic and molecular target materials. A comprehensive tabulation of stopping cross sections for 92 ions in 92 monoatomic materials is now freely available on the internet [5]. In addition to stopping cross sections or stopping forces, PASS has been applied in calculations of primary electron spectra [6,7] and channeling [8]. A major effort has been invested in calculating straggling [9], including bunching and packing as well as charge-exchange straggling [10]. PASS has also been useful in the development of tools to evaluate the validity of experimental stopping data, especially at low beam energies[11,12,13,14]. The relation to CasP and SRIM will be discussed. References [1] P. Sigmund and A. Schinner, Europ. Phys. J. D 12 (2000) 425. [2] P. Sigmund and A. Schinner, Nucl. Instrum. Methods B 195 (2002) 64.

Orals presentations Monday 14 October ION1-O1-0060 ● Stopping power of ions in solids: current interest, data needs and new theoretical results C. Montanari 1, A. Mendez 1, D. Mitnik 1, J. Miraglia 1 Instituto de Astronomía y Física del Espacio, CONICET and Universidad de Buenos Aires (AR) The present state of the energy loss of ions in solids will be talked over, based on the management of the IAEA stopping database [1]: experimental trends of the last years, lack of values, uncertainties, interest and difficulties of rare earths and post-lanthanide targets. The theoretical challenge of describing the stopping power of the very heavy elements (those whose 4f shell of electrons plays a major role) will be introduced, and new theoretical results presented in an energy range that covers from very low to the tens of MeV. An example of these results is shown in Figure 1, where we display the electronic stopping cross section of Tantalum for protons. The experimental data is from [1], the curves correspond to our nonperturbative and perturbative calculations as explained in [2]. Also included is the SRIM curve [3]. A peculiar behavior of the 4f electrons at very low energies, already noted experimentally in [4] will also be discussed.

Arista 2 1Instituto de Física, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Av. Bento Gonçalves, 9500, CP 15051, CEP 91501-970, Porto Alegre, RS, BR. - Porto Alegre (BR), 2Centro Atómico Bariloche, Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET), Av. E.

They suggested electron promotion in atomic collisions between dressed atoms as an explanation. In this report [2], we investigate the process of energy loss of slow ions in TiN using theoretical formulations that are based, on one side, on self-consistent models of non-linear screening and quantum scattering theory, and the other, on realistic numerical computations of the electron density profile of titanium nitride. Two theoretical approaches are considered to determine the average energy transfer; one is based on the local-density approximation for the inhomogeneous electron gas corresponding to the calculated density of TiN, the other is based on the Penn model for the convolution of the inhomogeneous electron gas response based on a measured electron loss function. Both approaches produce very similar results and are in a remarkable agreement with the experimental data, indicating that the observed enhancement in the energy loss values is due to the contribution of a range of electron densities in the TiN compound.

Correa 2 1University of Helsinki - Helsinki (FI), 2Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory - Livermore (US) The electronic stopping of ions in materials is a critical parameter for ion beam analysis, as well as for carrying out realistic atomistic simulations of primary radiation damage in materials. Experimental measurements of electronic stopping are challenging, and semi-empirically derived values, such as those given by SRIM, are known to carry significant uncertainties especially for heavy ions. In addition, these values are often derived for amorphous materials, while the stopping mechanisms for channeling ions are not well known, and may deviate significantly from amorphous values. Even in polycrystalline samples, channeling causes long tails in the depth distribution of incident ions [1], hence the channeling electronic stopping is important in all conditions. Recently, developments of time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) have made possible the dynamic simulation of ion-electron energy transfer, allowing more detailed investigations into the mechanisms of electronic stopping [2]. To date, most reported TDDFT calculations of electronic stopping have been carried out for light ions. In this work, we extend the use of these ab initio methods to self-ion irradiation in the heavy transition metal tungsten. Tungsten (W) is the main candidate material for plasma-facing components in future

    19Th Century Glass Tade Beads

    19TH CENTURY GLASS TRADE BEADS From two Zulu royal residences Sharma Jeanette Saitowitz University of Cape Town The.sis presented to the University of Cape Town in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts June 1990 The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University of Cape Town ABSTRACT This thesis is a formal analysis of beads from the two Zulu capitals of Mgungundlovu ( occupied by Dingane between 1829 and 1838) and Ondini (held by Cetshwayo between 1873 and 1879). It contains a set of procedures for producing a bead taxonomy, most of which has been adopted from work done in North America, bur some of which consists of analytical methods original to this study. The taxonomy is based on visual and physical screening of large collections, followed by chemical analysis. It provides a standardized system for South African bead studies. Results of the analysis are employed for the following purposes: 1) To provide a database of the varieties of glass beads in circulation in Zululand for two relatively short periods of time in the nineteenth century. 2) To determine the spatial and temporal variability in relative abundance of bead types in the two sites. Subtle differences occur between beads excavated from one section of Mgungundlovu and another.

  • Glossary of Jewellery Making and Beading Terms

    Glossary of Jewellery Making and Beading Terms

    Glossary of Jewellery Making and Beading Terms A jewellery glossary of beading terms and jewellery making terminology combining clear images with easy to understand dictionary like definitions. This bead glossary also provides links to more in depth content and bead resources. It can be used as a beading A to Z reference guide to dip into as needed, or as a beading and jewellery glossary for beginners to help broaden beading and jewellery making knowledge. It is particularly effective when used alongside our Beading Guides, Histories, Theories and Tutorials, or in conjunction with our Gemstones & Minerals Glossary and Venetian Glass Making Glossary. A ABALONE These edible sea creatures are members of a large class of molluscs that have one piece shells with an iridescent interior. These shells have a low and open spiral structure, and are characterized by several open respiratory pores in a row near the shell’s outer edge. The thick inner layer of the shell is composed of a dichroic substance called nacre or mother-of-pearl, which in many species is highly iridescent, giving rise to a range of strong and changeable colors, making it ideal for jewellery and other decorative objects. Iridescent nacre varies in colour from silvery white, to pink, red and green- red, through to deep blues, greens, and purples. Read more in our Gemstones & Minerals Glossary. Above are examples of Paua and Red Abalone. ACCENT BEAD Similar in purpose to a Focal Bead, this is a bead that forms the focus for a piece of jewellery, but on this occasion rather then through its size, it is usually through contrast.

  • Glossary of Venetian Glass Making Processes

    Glossary of Venetian Glass Making Processes

    Glossary Of Venetian Glass Making Processes Murano glassmakers held a virtual monopoly on quality glassmaking for centuries and as such it remains the longest lasting centre for glass making in history. During this time they developed, or procured and refined, many processes which we have made reference to in our extensive History of Venetian Glass guide. This BigBeadLittleBead glossary describes the individual process, some of the science involved, and who the technique or process can be attributed to. Aventurina - also known as Aventurine or Adventurina This process involves adding micro particles of copper, gold, or chromic oxide to molten glass after which deglassification, during the cooling stage, results in the separation of the particles from the molten mass. This produces an affect whereby the fine particles are suspended in the glass and appear like gold flecks when they catch the light. The root meaning of this word is sometimes wrongly ascribed to avventura (or adventure in Italian), rather than the correct ventura (fortune or chance in Italian), but both descriptions give a good idea of the skilled nature of producing consistent pieces. This process was a closely guarded secret when first developed and refined in the 15th Century, coming back to prominence in the mid 19th century at the glass works of Pietro Bigaglia and then Salviati & C. It is used for beads, vases, and a variety of other objects. Image: Vintage orange and black Aventurina glass beads. Battuto - Meaning struck or beaten This is a cold working finishing treatment using a grinding wheel to mark the surface of the glass.

  • Chevron and Millefiorie in India

    69 CHEVRON AND MILLEFIORIE IN INDIA by Alok Kumar Kanungo Archaeological Sciences Centre, IIT Gandhinagar ABSTRACT Kaca di India wujud dalam bentuk manik wound monochrome pada zaman Chalcolithic di Maski, dan sebagai manik dan gelang dari penghujung tempoh pertindihan fasa Tamadun Harappa dan budaya besi Painted Grey Ware di Bhagwanpura. Kepelbagaian dan pengedaran manik meningkat berlipat kali ganda dalam fasa Sejarah Awal. Rekod literatur yang bertarikh dari 1200 BCE sehingga sekitar 300 BCE merujuk kepada manik kaca sebagai barang mewah untuk golongan kelas atasan. Walau bagaimanapun, tidak seperti tablet tanah liat di Asia Barat, maklumat mengenai kaedah pembuatan kaca di India purba adalah terhad; sama ada hanya sebagai maklumat material sisa arkeologi ataupun rekod epigrafi. Walau bagaimanapun, kita mempunyai rekod sastera merujuk kepada penggunaan dan penghasilan pelbagai jenis manik kaca dan objek lain dalam bentuk Yajurveda (1200 BCE), Brahmanas (800-600 BCE), Sutras (600-400 BCE), Arthasastra (300 BCE), Puranas, (400-1400 CE) kepada Ain-i-Akbari (rekod mahkamah pemerintahan Akbar, yang ditulis oleh Abul Fazal, sekitar 1590). Rekod kolonial yang bermula pada abad ke- 19 memberikan gambaran terperinci mengenai pembuatan kaca asli dan pengerjaannya di India. Walau bagaimanapun tiada tiada sebarang maklumat di dalam dokumen tersebut merujuk kepada millefiorie. Ahli-ahli arkeologi mendakwa menjumpai manik serta mangkuk millefiorie di India sejak abad ke-1 CE. Data etnografi mendedahkan bahawa pengeluaran moden chevron dan millefiori bermula di bandar kaca tradisional India, iaitu, Purdilnagar pada tahun 1970-an. Sejurus itu, ia telah dihasilkan dalam relau manual tanpa menggunakan sebarang acuan. Walaupun millefiorie telah menjadi sinonim dengan Venice, namun pada masa ini, millefiorie di Venice dihasilkan tanpa penggunaan mana-mana relau tradisional atau teknik asal.

  • Murano Glass, Continuity and Transformation (1400–1800)1

    Murano Glass, Continuity and Transformation (1400–1800)1

    Murano Glass, Continuity and Transformation (1400–1800)1 Francesca Trivellato Visitors arriving at the Venice airport in the last few years have been greeted by a sizeable poster, among other advertisements, promoting a new trademark for artistic blown-glass made in Murano (Figure 10). The poster depicts a middle-aged, dark-haired and well-built man wearing an apron; his shirt is unbuttoned and his sleeves up are rolled up. On a table in front of him lie his metal tools and a refined golden glass bowl. In the background, the fire is burning in a glass furnace. The slogan on the picture says: “No Global”; in smaller fonts, one also reads, “Murano glass is only made in Murano.”2 The message is simple and effective: the millenarian artisanal craft of glass blowing is still alive in Murano and a new trademark guarantees quality in a mass-consumption market flooded with counterfeit objects. The subtext is all too evident: masculinity embodies the artisanal, local, secretive know-how that has remained uncorrupted over the centuries. 1 I am grateful to Cesare Moretti for his help with questions about glass technology.

    Glass, Pattern, and Translation: A Practical Exploration of Decorative Idiom and Material Mistranslation using Glass Murrine Owen Thomas Charles Johnson A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Royal College of Art for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2015 Royal College of Art ! 1 “This text represents the submission for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Royal College of Art. This copy has been supplied for the purpose of research for private study, on the understanding that it is copyright material, and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgment.” ! 2 Abstract Can creative material translation reshape artistic appropriation to escape the cycle of mimicry and mockery linked to contemporary visual art practice? To explore creativity in material translation, my project has been divided into three case studies, each translating a different pattern, from a different context and material, into my chosen pattern-making language of glass murrine. In the first case study I translate a Moorish plasterwork pattern from the Alhambra, in Granada, Spain. This pattern has been copied before: a translation of fidelity printed by Owen Jones in his publication The Grammar of Ornament, 1856.1 Jones’ pattern and my patterns will be used to examine fidelity and infidelity in material translation. In the second case study I translate Paisley, a Kashmiri textile pattern appropriated and adapted by western manufacturers in the 19th-century. Paisley's history of adaptation will be examined in relation to my translation, to compare the two methods in the context of a single decorative idiom.
