We report on the experimental observation of the focusing effect of a 50MeV accelerator electron beam in a gas-discharge plasma target. The plasma is generated by igniting an electric discharge in two collinear quartz tubes, with the currents up to 1.5kA flowing in opposite directions in either of the two tubes. In such plasma current configuration, the electron beam is defocused in the first discharge tube and focused with a stronger force in the second one. With symmetric plasma currents, asymmetric effects are, however, induced on the beam transport process and the beam radius is reduced by a factor of 2.6 compared to the case of plasma discharge off. Experimental results are supported by two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations.

(1) Background: Ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) radiation therapy needs a reliable dosimetry solution and scintillation detectors are promising candidates. In this study, we characterized an inorganic powder-based scintillation detector under a 9 MeV UHDR electron beam. (2) Methods: A mixture of ZnS:Ag powder and optic glue was coupled to an 8 m Eska GH-4001-P polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) optical fiber.

The effects of different doses (10-100 kGy) of electron beams on the molecular structure, microstructure, and thermoelectric properties of polypyrrole (PPy) under high-energy electron beam irradiation (10 MeV) were studied. The results showed that after electron beam irradiation, the conductivity of PPy increased slightly, but the Seebeck coefficient and power factor remained relatively stable. The structural analysis of FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction indicated that the molecular structure of PPy was strongly stable, and its microstructure was only slightly affected by electron beam irradiation.

The MEMS scanning micromirror requires angle sensors to provide real-time angle feedback during operation, ensuring a stable and accurate deflection of the micromirror. This paper proposes a method for integrating piezoresistive sensors on the torsion axis of electrostatic MEMS micromirrors to detect the deflection angle. The design uses a multi-layer bonding process to realize a vertical comb-driven structure.

This paper explores the enhancement of cavitation and corrosion resistance in cast stainless steel through laser beam surface remelting. The influence of laser treatment on material properties was assessed by analyzing the microstructure using optical microscopy, electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Cavitation erosion was evaluated in tap water using an ultrasonic vibration setup, following ASTM G32-2016 standards.

Nowadays, polycrystalline lead telluride is one of the premier substances for thermoelectric devices while remaining a hopeful competitor to current semiconductor materials used in mid-infrared photonic applications. Notwithstanding that, the development of reliable and reproducible routes for the synthesis of PbTe thin films has not yet been accomplished. As an effort toward this aim, the present article reports progress in the growth of polycrystalline indium-doped PbTe films and their study.
