The inner valence region of CO/Pd(100) p(2√2×√2)R45° has been studied by angular resolved photoemission at the Pd 4d Cooper minimum, and with resonant Auger spectroscopy at photon energies corresponding to the C 1s and O 1s x-ray absorption (XA) maxima of the unoccupied parts of the 2π*-Pd 4d hybrid (2πun). Previously unobserved inner valence states are revealed in the direct photoemission and are

Ljus är verkligen fantastiskt. Det kan ge oss känslomässiga upplevelser, som när det faller genom en trädkrona i en skog eller vid en blodröd fullmåne, men det gör det också möjligt för oss att uppfatta och förstå vår omgivning. Majoriteten av den information vi kan tillgodogöra oss om Universum, får vi genom det ljus som atomer och joner i olika kosmiska objekt sänder ut. Varje foton - den minstaMotivated by spectroscopic analysis of astrophysical and laboratory plasma, this thesis concerns the fundamental structure and spectral properties of atoms and their ions. The multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF) method is used to predict the emission or absorption of radiation, by atomic systems in general, and of heavy and highly charged ions in particular.The first set of publications,

Adsorption of cereal storage protein and nonstarch polysaccharides onto methylated silica surfaces, as measured by ellipsometry, was used to study possible interactions between those components. All fractions, rye secalin, wheat gliadin, rye arabinoxylan, and wheat arabinogalactan peptide, were surface- oxylan and wheat arabinogalactan peptide on top of gliadin and secalin, respectively, indicated

During the Proterozoic, several mafic dykes with variable trends and mineralogies intruded the Archaean basement of Southeast Greenland. Some of the younger ENE-trending dykes are interpreted to represent a prolongation of the Mesoproterozoic Gardar Province, and have been termed Timmiarmiit dykes. Extrapolations of their trends across the inland ice sheet coincide with the northernmost so-called

Abstract: This paper offers a longitudinal analysis of the Institute of Management Consultants (IMC). Drawing on archive sources, we consider the manner in which the IMC sought to institutionalize a form of expertise specific to management consultants. Rejecting attempts to locate the boundaries of such expertise within idealized, archetypal frameworks, we analyse the IMC’s attempts to secure occu

The volcanic Hartley Formation (part of the Olifantshoek Supergroup, which is dominated by red bed successions) in South Africa recorded depositional and tectonic conditions along the western Kaapvaal Craton during the late Palaeoproterozoic. It formed in association with red bed deposition elsewhere in the cratonic hinterland and along the craton’s northern margin. However, the exact correlation

The Bakhuis Granulite Belt (BGB) is a metamorphic terrain within the Guiana Shield that experienced ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) metamorphism at 2.07–2.05Ga. In the southwest of the BGB, the Kabalebo charnockites were emplaced at ca. 1.99Ga and thus postdate UHT metamorphism by at least 60Myr. Two generations of gabbroic intrusions have been recognized within the BGB, which could act as a heat sour

An electron injector for multi-stage laser wakefield experiments is presented. It consists of a variable length gas cell of small longitudinal dimension (⩽10mm). The gas filling process in this cell was characterized both experimentally and with fluid simulation. Electron acceleration experiments were performed at two different laser facilities. Results show low divergence and low pointing fluctua
