The life and work of Ernest Sydney Keeping
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract This article reviews the life and contributions of Ernest S. Keeping (1895–1984), a British‐born physicist who became a mathematics professor at the University of Alberta in 1929. He played a pivotal role in shaping the university's Mathematics Department, serving as its head from 1954 to 1961, and continuing to teach until 1970, nine years ...

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.The transformation of CO2 into chemical building blocks is essential for a net‐zero energy future. Plasma‐chemical processing offers promising potential to achieve this. Here, we explore a temperature‐dependent plasma‐chemical reaction mechanism, revealing a shift from electron‐driven to thermal‐driven CO2 conversion regimes.

Magnetization of laser-produced plasma in a chiral hollow target
New Journal of Physics, 2017 It is demonstrated that targets with a broken rotational symmetry may facilitate the generation of a strong axial (poloidal) magnetic field. An intense laser beam irradiating such a target creates strong electron currents carrying vorticity and producing

Radiative and Collisional Molecular Data and Virtual Laboratory Astrophysics
Atoms, 2017 Spectroscopy has been crucial for our understanding of physical and chemical phenomena. The interpretation of interstellar line spectra with radiative transfer calculations usually requires two kinds of molecular input data: spectroscopic data (such as ...

Capturing Thermal Effects Beyond the Zero‐Temperature Approximation Using the Uniform Electron Gas
Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Density functional theory at finite temperatures often relies on the zero‐temperature approximation, which uses a ground‐state exchange‐correlation functional with thermalized densities. This approach, however, neglects the explicit temperature dependence of the exchange‐correlation free energy—a key factor in regimes such as warm dense matter,
