The Janis Research cryogen-free sub-K continuous flow cryostat for angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy is a convenient multi-functional tool, suitable for a wide range of research applications. In this article, the design and operating principles of the cryostat are described.In this study, a resonant type piezoelectric vibrator for driving a flexible body is proposed and its driving principle is discussed. The flexible body driven in this article is rigid in the longitudinal direction and flexible in the transverse direction, such as in metal straps and metal wires. The exciting signals used in the piezoelectric transducer in the horizontal and vertical directions are both sinusoidal signals, possessing a phase shift of π/2. Two third-order orthogonal bending in-plane modes of the same frequency were effectively excited, and an elliptic motion formed on the end plane of the vibrator toothed structure. A flexible body was then effectively driven by friction under a certain amount of tension. The proposed vibrator was designed using the finite element method, and the flexible drive models were established, while the output force in the contact friction was analyzed. The vibration characteristics of the vibrator were tested in order to obtain the resonance frequencies and responses. An experimental system was then established to test the mechanical output characteristics. The results demonstrate that the difference in thickness, tension force, and surface roughness between the flexible bodies confer great influence on driving. With a thickness of 0.01 mm, 0.02 mm, and 0.03 mm, the flexible metal strap velocity was found to be 24 mm/s, 43.64 mm/s, and 10.43 mm/s under the corresponding proper tension, smooth surface, and voltage of 200Vp-p, respectively.A high speed, high pressure solenoid actuated valve has been developed for use as a driver section for automated shock tubes. The valve is based on a prior design, and significant improvements in the design of the valve are described. The new design retains the performance of prior versions of the valve and creates very reproducible reaction conditions in the shock tube, which are illustrated by several thousand experiments. In addition, the longevity of the valve is improved, failures are reduced, and the maintenance and manufacture of the valve are simplified.The broadband photoelectron source realized by detaching O2 -·X (X = neutral unsaturated molecule) complexes offers a unique opportunity to probe temporary anion states of the unsaturated species. Detachment of the ion molecule complex typically accesses a dissociative portion of the neutral potential, creating a continuum electron source that can undergo scattering with X. We present the application of this new approach to electron-neutral scattering toward a study of the series of fluorinated benzenes via photoelectron spectroscopy of O2 -·C6H6-xFx (x = 0-6) measured with several photon energies. We compare these spectra to the reference O2 -·hexane spectrum and observe evidence of temporary anion states of C6H6-xFx for species with x = 0-5 in the form of enhanced signal intensity at electron kinetic energies coinciding with the energies of the temporary anions. Furthermore, we observe autodetachment features in the x = 3, 5 spectra. Results of calculations on the isolated symmetric isomer of C6H3F3 suggest that the molecule cannot support a weakly-bound non-valence state that could be associated with the observed autodetachment. However, C6HF5 - is predicted to support a valence bound state, which, if produced by charge transfer from O2 - with sufficient vibrational energy, may undergo autodetachment. Finally, the [O2·C6F6]- spectrum is unique insofar as the spectrum is substantially higher in binding energy and qualitatively different from the x = 0-5 spectra. This result suggests much stronger interactions and charge delocalization between O2 - and C6F6.One versatile route to the creation of two-dimensional crystal structures on the nanometer to micrometer scale is the self-assembly of colloidal particles at an interface. Here, we explore the crystal phases that can be expected from the self-assembly of mixtures of spherical particles of two different sizes, which we map to (additive or non-additive) hard-disk mixtures. We map out the infinite-pressure phase diagram for these mixtures using Floppy Box Monte Carlo simulations to systematically sample candidate crystal structures with up to 12 disks in the unit cell. As a function of the size ratio and the number ratio of the two species of particles, we find a rich variety of periodic crystal structures. Additionally, we identify random tiling regions to predict random tiling quasicrystal stability ranges. Increasing non-additivity both gives rise to additional crystal phases and broadens the stability regime for crystal structures involving a large number of large-small contacts, including random tilings. Our results provide useful guidelines for controlling the self-assembly of colloidal particles at interfaces.Ionization potentials (IPs) of the superheavy element (SHE) livermorium (Lv) and its ions Lvn+ (n = 1, …, 6) are obtained using the multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock method. The effects of electron correlation in the subshells 6s, 6p, 6d, 7s, 7p are taken into account, together with the Breit interaction and quantum electrodynamic (QED) effects. In Lv, the strong relativistic effect causes a large splitting between the energies of the 7p1/2 and 7p3/2 orbitals, which results in a large difference between IP3 and IP2. As a consequence, the behavior of the IPs of Lv differs from that of the lighter oxygen group elements among the IPn Z (Z = Se, Te, Po, Lv; n = 1, …, 6), IP1,2 Lv are the smallest, whereas IP3,4,5,6 Lv are the second largest among the IP3,4,5,6 Z. This jump in IP can be taken to be a natural characteristic of SHEs because the calculations of the difference between IP3 and IP2 are only weakly affected by electron correlation, the Breit interaction, and QED effects, with only the relativistic effect being significant. We also show that the energies and IPs of neutral Lv and Lv+ are clearly influenced by the electron correlation effect in the subshells 6s, 6p, 6d. NVP-TAE684 The Breit interaction and QED have an effect on the energies that has an exponential dependence on the atomic number, although they have only a weak influence on the IPs. The analysis of the stabilities of the 2+, 4+, and 6 + states of Lv shows good agreement with predictions from other studies.
