English | ISBN: 1904602886 | 2009 | 336 pages | PDF | 19 MB

The growth of a very large number of lead tungstate crystals for compact muon solenoid experiments at CERN is described. 75 000 lead tungstate scintillation crystals (230 mm long, 40 mm in diameter) were produced for electromagnetic calorimeters.The book describes all aspects of production of these crystals, from equipment to testing. Contents 1. Application of crystal scintillators in high-energy physics (structure of PWO crystals, point defects and scintillation properties of PWO crystals, special features of applicattion of PWO crystals in the electromagnetic calorimeters of the compact muon solenoid (CMS) experiments 2. Control of defect formation in lead tungstate crystals (equipment and methods, radiation hardness and formation of point defects in PWO crystals) 3.Technology of mass production of PWO crystals (starting material, selection of crucible material and crucible design, annealing and machining of PWO crystals, etc) 4. Quality control system in mass production of PWO crystals (special features of certification of PWO scintillators for CMS project ACCOS – automatic system of quality control of crystals, control of micro-impurities in crystals, statistical distribution of radiation hardness of PWO crystals, etc)

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Of Liquid Crystals

Ronald Dong, "Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Of Liquid Crystals"


English | ISBN: 981427366X | 2009 | 464 pages | PDF | 18 MB

This edited volume provides an extensive overview of how nuclear magnetic resonance can be an indispensable tool to investigate molecular ordering, phase structure, and dynamics in complex anisotropic phases formed by liquid crystalline materials. The chapters, written by prominent scientists in their field of expertise, provide a state-of-the-art scene of developments in liquid crystal research. The fantastic assortment of shape anisotropy in organic molecules leads to the discoveries of interesting new soft materials made at a rapid rate which not only inject impetus to address the fundamental physical and chemical phenomena, but also the potential applications in memory, sensor and display devices. The review volume also covers topics ranging from solute studies of molecules in nematics and biologically ordered fluids to theoretical approaches in treating elastic and viscous properties of liquid crystals. This volume is aimed at graduate students, novices and experts alike, and provides an excellent reference material for readers interested in the liquid crystal research. It is, indeed, a reference book for every science library to have.
