Atmospheric processes on ice nanoparticles in molecular beams
This review summarizes some recent experiments with ice nanoparticles (large water clusters) in molecular beams and outlines their atmospheric relevance: (1) Investigation of mixed water–nitric acid particles by means of the electron ionization and ...

An ion trap source of cold atomic hydrogen via photodissociation of the BaH+ molecular ion
I present a novel scheme for producing cold (magnetically trappable) atomic hydrogen, based on threshold photodissociation of the BaH ^+ molecular ion.

Formation of a gate dielectric of nanometer thickness by rapid thermal treatment
Investigations of the thickness and optical characteristics of thin SiO2 films obtained by one-, two-, or three-stage rapid thermal processing (RTP) at atmospheric pressure, pulses of 6, 12, and 20 s duration have been carried out.

The critical radiation intensity for direct collapse black hole formation: dependence on the radiation spectral shape [PDF]
It has been proposed that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are originated from direct-collapse black holes (DCBHs) that are formed at z gtrsim 10 in the primordial gas in the case that H2 cooling is suppressed by strong external radiation.

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Preparing sulfur nanoparticles and determining their effect on the photodegradation of polycarbonates [PDF]
This study involved the preparation of sulfur nanoparticles using the extract of Ziziphus-spina leaves and examined their effect on the photodegradation of polycarbonate membranes with a thickness of (60±5) microns, after adding various ...

Radiative decay of a massive particle and the non-thermal process in primordial nucleosynthesis [PDF]
We consider the effects on big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) of the radiative decay of a long-lived massive particle. If high-energy photons are emitted after the BBN epoch ($t \sim 1 - 10^3$ sec), they may change the abundances of the light elements ...

The Molecular Continuum Opacity of MgH in Cool Stellar Atmospheres [PDF]
The opacity due to photodissociation of 24MgH is investigated in the atmospheres of cool stars. The lowest two electronic transitions A 2Pi -- X 2Sigma+ and B' 2Sigma+ -- X 2 Sigma+ are considered where the cross sections for the latter were published previously (Weck, Stancil, & Kirby 2002) while the former are presented in this work.

A novel xanthate molecule was designed to facilitate highly controlled photoiniferter RAFT polymerization at fast rates under visible light. This approach was applied in aqueous photoinitiated polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (photo‐PISA). The rapid photolysis and extended absorption of this xanthate enable ultrafast and scalable fabrication of ...
