Analysis of extreme ultraviolet radiation and hydrodynamics simulation at the core of laser-produced nickel plasmas.

The non-uniformity and transient nature of laser-produced plasma are critical factors that affect the analysis of the extreme ultraviolet spectra of highly charged ions and the diagnosis of plasma states. This paper systematically investigates the characteristics of extreme ultraviolet radiation and the hydrodynamic evolution of laser-produced nickel plasmas from two perspectives: high-spatio-temporal-resolution extreme-ultraviolet spectroscopic measurement and radiation hydrodynamics simulation. The consistency between the four-band experimental spectra and their theoretically simulated spectra confirms the accuracy of the atomic structure parameters and plasma state parameters.

Reconstruction and analysis of transient evolution images of laser-produced plasma plumes.

We introduce a method for the analysis and simulation of transient images of laser-produced plasma (LPP) plumes. This method comprises three steps: (i) calculating the two-dimensional distribution of plasma parameters using a radiation hydrodynamics model, (ii) constructing radiation paths through ray tracing, and (iii) solving the radiation transport equation along these paths. In our simulations, we have meticulously considered factors that could influence the imaging results, including the quantum efficiency to different radiation wavelengths, the imaging lens' transmittance, the target surface's reflectivity, and the absorption, emission, and scattering quantum effect of the detector processes occurring in the plasma.

Separation of lead-212 from natural thorium solution utilizing novel sulfonamide dibenzo-18-crown-6.

The extraction of lead-212 (Pb) from radioactive thorium (Th) waste is immensely important, as it serves to mitigate environmental risks associated with radioactive waste and provides a vital source for medical isotopes. To economically extract Pb from thorium, we synthesized a novel extractant known as 2,13-disulfonyldiethylamine dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DSADB18C6). We assessed its performance in isolating Pb(II) by employing stable lead and optimizing the parameters of the extraction system.

Synthesis and performance of guanidinium-based cationic organic polymer for the efficient removal of TcO/ReO.

Cationic organic polymers have found relatively extensive utility for TcO/ReO removal, but the harsh preparation conditions constrain their practical application. The bifunctional guanidinium-based cationic organic polymer (GBCOP) was successfully and facilely synthesized in benign conditions within 1 h. Batch experiments showed that GBCOP exhibited rapid removal kinetics (1 min, >98.

Preparation and UV Photoelectric Properties of Aligned ZnO-TiO and TiO-ZnO Core-Shell Structured Heterojunction Nanotubes.

Large-area horizontal-aligned ZnO nanotubes (ZNTs), TiO nanotubes (TNTs), TiO-ZnO core-shell nanotubes (TZNTs) and ZnO-TiO core-shell nanotubes (ZTNTs) were successfully synthesized by electrospinning combined with pulsed-laser deposition. The morphology, structure, and composition of the samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of these samples indicate that the addition of a TiO layer greatly decreases the recombination of photogenerated carriers in the heterojunction nanotubes.

Dynamics characteristics of highly-charged ions in laser-produced SiC plasmas.

The radiation and dynamic properties of C VI, C V, Si VI and Si V ions from laser-produced SiC plasmas in a vacuum are studied both experimentally and theoretically. The EUV emission spectra of SiC plasmas are measured using the spatio-temporally resolved laser-produced plasma spectroscopy technique. To explore the dynamic evolution of highly-charged ions in such plasmas, an extended radiation hydrodynamics model is developed.

Radiation properties and hydrodynamics evolution of highly charged ions in laser-produced silicon plasma.

We present a simplified radiation hydrodynamic model based on the fluid dynamic equations and the radiative transfer equation, which can be used to investigate the radiation properties and dynamics evolution of highly charged ions in a laser-produced plasma in vacuum. The outputs of the model consist of the evolution of the electron temperature, atom, and ion density, and the temporal and spatial evolution of various transient particles in plasma, as well as the simulated spectrum related to certain experimental conditions in a specified spectral window. In order to test the model and provide valuable experimental feedback, a series of EUV emission spectra of silicon plasmas have been measured using the spatio-temporally resolved laser produced plasma technique.

[Spectroscopic study of laser induced breakdown plasma spectroscopy in air and semi-empirical simulation].

A laser induced breakdown spectroscopy experiment was carried out using Nd:YAG laser in air, and time-resolved spectra were measured. Based on local thermodynamic equilibrium assumption, a method used to simulate LIBS spectra is proposed. A LIBS spectrum of air in the wavelength range of 700~900 nm was simulated using this method.
