Capillary liquid chromatography using laser-based and mass spectrometric detection

Description: The research performed during the past year has mainly focused on investigating and minimizing the problems listed below that limit the practical utility of these capillary electrokinetic separation techniques in chemical analysis. (1) Analyses are hindered by poor reproducibility. This is largely a result of complicated and irreproducible capillary wall-solute interactions that often result in adsorption and mobility changes. (2) While the Micellar Electrokinetic Capillary Chromatography techn… more

Depth distributions of low energy deuterium implantations in (110) tungsten: a theoretical model

Description: The depth distributions of 80 eV D/sup +/ implants in (110) W have recently been measured by field desorption microscopy. Prominent structure, consisting of seven major and several minor peaks, is observed in the measured distributions. This contrasts with conventional implantation theory which predicts two peaks, one for the channeled D/sup +/ and one for the nonchanneled D/sup +/. The observed structure is explained in the present report by a model which ascribes the various peaks to D/sup +/… more

Studies in Hot Atom and Radiation Chemistry Progress Report: September 1977

Description: The reactive scattering of the reaction of the first excited state of C/sup +/ (/sup 4/P) with molecular hydrogen was studied over an energy range of 0.5 to 9.0 eV. The measurements indicate that the reaction proceeded by a direct mechanism and the final product was in the a/sup 3/pi state. The reaction of ground-state C/sup +/(/sup 2/P) with D/sub 2/ and H/sub 2/ was examined over the energy range of 2.5 eV to 28 eV. Over this energy range unambiguous identification of CD/sup +/ in the X/sup 1… more

Phase 2 of the automated array assembly task of the Low-Cost Silicon Solar Array Project. Technical quarterly report No. 6, 1 October 1979-31 December 1979

Description: The ion implantation, metallization, and plasma etching processes are highlighted. Replacement of the hydrocarbon vacuum pump oils in the ion implanter with perfluorinated polyether pump oils has decreased, but not eliminated the formation of a carbonaceous surface layer on implanted wafers. Simulated unanalyzed beam ion implantation of boron for p-on-n cell fabrication has shown preliminary favorable results, showing better performance than control analyzed beam boron implants. An ion milling … more

Interactions of fast atomic and molecular ions with matter

Description: Argonne's 5-MV Dynamitron accelerator is used to study the interactions of fast (MeV) atomic and molecular ions with matter. A unique feature of the apparatus is the exceptionally high resolution, in angle and time-of-flight, obtained in detecting particles emerging from the target. New imaging detector systems have been developed which allow detection of multiparticle events consisting of up to 12 particles. The work has as its main objective a general study of the interactions of fast charged… more

Metastable phases produced by ion implantation in metals

Description: Experimental evidence for the formation of metastable phases in metals using ion implantation is reviewed. Ion channeling and transmission electron microscopy are the main experimental techniques which have been used to investigate these materials. For heavy metallic implanted species at low implanted concentrations (less than or equal to 1 at. percent), the materials are generally substitutional solid solutions, often exceeding equilibrium solid solubilities. At higher concentrations both meta… more

Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory year-end-report on heavy-ion fusion program

Description: An intensive theoretical program was launched to try to understand the conditions for safe propagation of intense beam currents in focussing systems, such as continuous and interrupted solenoid lens systems, and quadrupole strong-focussing systems. Analytic methods have led to significant advances in understanding of the new problems; with computational techniques a large amount of new information has been generated on space-charge-dominated transport phenomena; also, at this time a new LBL par… more

Properties of diverted plasmas with magnetically expanded flux surfaces

Description: Vertical elongated 1.3:1 elliptical plasmas in which the outermost flux surfaces are magnetically expanded and diverted by external coils into the lower half of the Doublet III vacuum vessel are described. Approximately 5 cm of the nominal 45 cm plasma minor radius is diverted to the lower chamber. The diverted flux is expanded by more than a factor of ten before reaching the vessel wall. Photographic measurements show diffused hydrogen recycling light in the lower half of the vessel, with grea… more

Electrochemical photovoltaic cells. Project 65021 quarterly technical progress report, July 15-October 15, 1979

Description: During the second quarter of this program we have evaluated the photoelectrochemical performance of single-crystal MoSe/sub 2/ and GaAs, polycrystalline CdSe, and cells with RbAg/sub 4/I/sub 5/ solid electrolyte. MoSe/sub 2/ electrode exhibited very good photoresponse in electrolytes containing Br/sup -//Br/sub 2/ redox couple. The photopotential and photocurrent were larger in acid than in alkaline electrolyte. A power conversion efficiency of about 5% was achieved under 200 mW/cm/sup 2/ Xenon… more

Atomic x-ray production by relativistic heavy ions. [Cross sections, K and L shells, ionization 3 and 4. 88 GEV holes]

Description: The interaction of heavy ion projectiles with the electrons of target atoms gives rise to the production, in the target, of K-, L- or higher shell vacancies which are in turn followed by the emission of characteristic x-rays. The calculation of the theoretical value of the K- and L-shells vacancy production cross section was carried out for heavy ion projectiles of any energy. The transverse component of the cross section is calculated for the first time in detail and extensive tables of its nu… more

In-situ field-ion microscope study of the recovery behavior of heavy metal ion-irradiated tungsten, tungsten (rhenium) alloys and molybdenum. [30 keV W/sup +/ and Mo/sup +/]

Description: Three field ion microscope (FIM) experiments were carried out to study the annealing behavior of heavy ion irradiated tungsten, tungsten (rhenium) alloys and molybdenum. The first experiment dealt with the stage I long-range migration of tungsten self interstitial atoms (SIAs) in high purity tungsten of resistivity ratio, R = 24,000 (R = rho/sub 300//rho/sub 4/./sub 2/, where rho/sub 300/ and rho/sub 4/./sub 2/ are the room temperature and 0/sup 0/C resistivities). The FIM specimens were irradi… more

Knock-on electrons in the target chamber

Description: It is virtually certain that heavy ion beams will produce massive quantities of knock-on electrons for target chamber pressures above 1 torr. It was shown that the magnitude of the resulting current is more than sufficient to pinch the knock-on beam in most cases, assuming that a substantial fraction of this beam actually gets out ahead of the ion beam pulse. Although at least some of the ion beam experiences this defocusing, the overall effect on beam propagation is minimal if field reversal i… more
