Anode Vapour Flow Phenomena in a FXR Discharge

Abstract

Streak photographs of the radial motion of vaporized electrode material in a flash X-ray (FXR) discharge indicate successive constrictions of the metal vapour cloud existing just outside the anode. Such a constriction may give rise to the anode vapour jet earlier observed in axial streak photographs of the discharge. Calculations show that the anode vapour production is sufficiently high to supply the discharge column behind the jet front with "new" vapour.

Synergetic Enhancement of Strength–Ductility and Thermoelectric Properties of Ag2Te by Domain Boundaries

“…Note that the GBs, dislocations, nanostructures, and twins can decrease 𝜅 L . [48][49][50] Thus, the nanodomain boundaries and surrounding strain fields (Figure 5b) can strongly scatter the phonons of both low-and high-frequency. [51,52] The inhomogeneous internal strain fields can not only introduce phonon scattering centers, but also induce lattice softening, which leads to reduced speed of sound (Table S2, Supporting Information).…”
