An entirely new Mössbauer spectrometer MsAa‐4 is currently being under design and construction. New features as compared to the basic features of the previous generation MsAa‐3 spectrometer could be summarized as follows. Completely digital processing of the γ‐ray detector signal beyond the Gaussian shape filter/amplifier is to be implemented. The spectrometer is going to be able to accommodate external multiple detector heads. Up to 128 γ‐ray spectra in 16384 channels of 32‐bit each and up to 512 Mössbauer spectra in 4096 channels of 32‐bit each could be collected simultaneously, provided the proper external multiple detector head is used. The count‐rate per single detector is limited to about 105 counts per second in total. Improved precision of the reference function from 12‐bit to 16‐bit is to be provided. The reference function is stored in 8192 channels per a complete cycle. Addition of the random noise to the reference corner prism of the Michelson‐Morley calibration interferometer is to be introduced to avoid spurious fringes due to the phase lock‐up. An integrated universal temperature controller being able to use a variety of the temperature sensors is to be interconnected properly with the spectrometer. The spectrometer is now a stand‐alone network device as it is equipped with the Ethernet connection to the outside world. Fast and high precision digital oscilloscope is to be incorporated to the spectrometer as the intrinsic unit. This oscilloscope could monitor signals at various crucial points of the internal spectrometer electronics. Modular design and use of the strict standards allows easy reconfiguration for other applications than Mössbauer spectroscopy.

The pressure-induced phase transition in strontium, including the recent experimental observation of high-pressure phase Sr-IV, was investigated theoretically using the projector augmented wave method. We also concentrated on the experimentally observed β-tin structure as this structure has never been found in any other alkaline-earth metals. The fcc-bcc phase transition was reproduced, but Sr-IV was found to be energetically more stable than the β-tin structure at all pressures. By considering enthalpy, the sequence of the phase transitions along the pressure range is fcc→bcc→Sr-IV. With some detailed examination, we concluded that the β-tin structure is either a metastable state or a coexisting phase, and further experimental investigation is suggested.

In this paper we report on the development of an ASIC for readout of position sensitive neutron detectors based on low-pressure Micro-Strip Gas Chambers with solid composite 157 Gd/CsI converter. Global counting rates of 10 8 cps for a detector area of 25×25 cm 2 covered with 400×400 strips requiring 2 ns time resolution for coincidences of signals from X- and Y-strips set very demanding requirements for the ASIC performance.

We discuss how various models of scale-free complex networks approach their limiting properties when the size N of the network grows. We focus mainly on equilibrated networks and their finite-size degree distributions. Our results show that the position of the cutoff in the degree distribution, kcutoff, scales with N in a different way than predicted for N→∞; that is, subleading corrections to the scaling kcutoff∼Nα are strong even for networks of order N∼109 nodes. We observe also a logarithmic correction to the scaling for degenerated graphs with the degree distribution π(k)∼k−3. On the other hand, the distribution of the maximal degree kmax may have a different scaling than the cutoff and, moreover, it approaches the thermodynamic limit much faster. We argue that kmax∼Nα′ with an exponent α′=min[α,1∕(γ−1)], where γ is the exponent in the power law π(k)∼k−γ. We also present some results on the cutoff function and the distribution of the maximal degree in equilibrated networks.

Conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy proved in the past to be very useful in studying surface and ultrathin film magnetism with, monolayer resolution. Twenty years later, its time-domain analogue, the nuclear resonant scattering (NRS) of synchrotron radiation, showed up to be by orders of magnitude faster and more efficient. The most important features of NRS based on simulations and experimental data have been discussed. It has been shown how the isotopic sensitivity of NRS, combined with the 57Fe probe layer concept, was explored to study influence of the interlayer exchange coupling to FeAu monoatomic superlattices on the magnetic properties of the iron monolayer on Au(001). In the second example, combination of UHV conditions and the high brilliance of the third generation synchrotron source is used to probe the evolution of spin structure in epitaxial Fe films on W(110) via the accumulation of high quality time spectra directly during the 57Fe film growth.

The readout electronics for the luminosity detector (LumiCal) at ILC is discussed. First, the challenges of LumiCal and the proposed solutions are described together with the overall readout architecture chosen. Then a more detailed description of the front-end and the analog to digital convertion blocks follows. In particular the design and simulation results of the prototype preamplifier, shaper and basic ADC blocks are presented.

Summary: In the present work knowledge the authors tried to direct the phase separation process in a thin polymer composite film to manufacture a polymer pattern via self organisation of the blend components. The Au substrate was modified by applying with a PDMS stamp a pattern of alternating stripes of a self-assembled monolayer. This in turn influenced the microstructure of the blend, allowing for the production of elongated domains repeating the pattern of the substrate. The blends studied in this work contained conducting polyaniline doped with camphorsulfonic acid or diphenyl phosphate and polystyrene. The role of the dopant was to induce electrical conductivity in polyaniline as well as to improve its solubility in common organic solvents. The microstructure of thin films was analysed using atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic secondary ion mass spectroscopy (dSIMS) and optical microscopy.
The combination of magnetic materials and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a promising research direction with a wide range of applications such as magnetic storage and drug delivery free of toxicity. It is well known that ...
