Synchrotron-based total ion yield and photoelectron-photoion-coincidence spectra have been applied to investigate the electronic structure and the dissociative ionization of gaseous O,S-dimethyl xanthate, CH3OC(S)SCH3, i...

Double-rf systems have become a standard solution in advanced storage ring light sources for beam acceleration and bunch lengthening. In this context, a compact single-cell normal-conducting bimodal rf cavity is proposed...

Context. Galactic black hole coronae are composed of a hot, magnetized plasma. The spectral energy distribution produced in this component of X-ray binaries can be strongly affected by different interactions between loca...

We study non-thermal processes produced by the injection of relativistic particles in a strongly magnetized corona around an accreting black hole. The spectral energy distribution produced in this component of X-ray bina...

In this work, the design, fabrication, and evaluation of a compact, one-shot spectrometer based on a segmented conically bent crystal analyzer are described. The system is a “one-shot” wavelength dispersive spectrome...

In this chapter, we will focus on a specific X‐raybased technique among those employed in surface science and which is especially suitable for the study of self‐assembled nanocrystals: Grazing Incidence Small Angle X...

The influence of sol-gel dip-coating and anodic oxidation process parameters in producing thin TiO2 films is studied. As the size of the films is in the order of nanometres (20-140 nm), to obtain a precise measurement of...

One of the useful characteristics for evaluating the chemical speciation of a given element is to use the dependence of Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS) on the electronic configuration of its environment. The r...

The possible application of the barocaloric effect to produce solid state refrigerators is a topic of interest in the field of applied physics. In this work, we present experimental data about the influence of external p...

We study a global transonic solution for a relativistic, magnetized, viscous advective accretion flow around a rotating black hole, incorporating the effects of mass and angular momentum loss through winds. Our model con...

Non-destructive reference-free grazing incidence X-ray fluorescence (RF-GIXRF) is proposed as a highly effective analytical technique for extracting molecular arrangement density in self-assembled monolayers. The establi...

Triatoma virus (TrV) is a viral pathogen of the blood-sucking reduviid bug Triatoma infestans, the most important vector of American human trypanosomiasis (Chagas' disease). TrV has been putatively classified as a member...

In the present work, the local order of Zr in ZrO2–CeO2 nanopowders (with 50, 65, 70, and 90 mol % CeO2) was studied by extended X-ray absorption fine structure around the Zr K-edge. In the cases of ZrO2–50 and 65 mo...

Abstract In this work, a comprehensive study of the molecular spectroscopy of vinyl chloride is reported. A high resolution VUV photo absorption spectrum of vinyl chloride has been measured using a synchrotron radiation ...

Synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments at various temperatures, down to 3 K, along with ab initio calculations, are carried out to elucidate the magnetic order of layered β-cobalt-hydroxide. This combinat...

High-mass microquasars are binary systems composed by a massive star and a compact object from which relativistic jets are launched. Regarding the companion star, observational evidence supports the idea that winds of ho...
