Dual Segmented Langmuir Probe (DSLP) is an instrument developed primarily by Czech researchers and engineers to study the magnetospheric background plasma flown on board the spacecraft of the European Space Agency Proba 2. [1] Data acquired by DSLP will be used to reach these specific scientific goals: [2]
Plasma oscillations, also known as Langmuir waves (after Irving Langmuir), are rapid oscillations of the electron density in conducting media such as plasmas or metals in the ultraviolet region. The oscillations can be described as an instability in the dielectric function of a free electron gas. The frequency depends only weakly on the ...
A Langmuir probe is a device used to determine the electron temperature, electron density, and electric potential of a plasma. It works by inserting one or more electrodes into a plasma, with a constant or time-varying electric potential between the various electrodes or between them and the surrounding vessel.
The langmuir (symbol: L) is a unit of exposure (or dosage) to a surface (e.g. of a crystal) and is used in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) surface physics to study the adsorption of gases. It is a practical unit, and is not dimensionally homogeneous, and so is used only in this field. It is named after American physicist Irving Langmuir.
A Langmuir–Taylor detector, also called surface ionization detector or hot wire detector, is a kind of ionization detector used in mass spectrometry, developed by John Taylor [1] based on the work of Irving Langmuir and K. H. Kingdon.
OptiCore™ automatically de-prioritizes programs it detects aren't essential to the task you're performing, delivering more core power and speed to your active apps. Fast Repairs System Mechanic leverages today's powerful multi-core processors to scan for slowdown in several areas of your PC at once, and then repairs those issues ...
The idea of a Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) film was first proven feasible in 1917 when Irving Langmuir (Langmuir, 1917) showed that single water-surface monolayers could be transferred to solid substrates. 18 years later, Katharine Blodgett made an important scientific advance when she discovered that several of these single monolayer films could be stacked on top of one another to make multilayer ...
The Langmuir-Rideal mechanism is often, incorrectly, attributed to Dan Eley as the Eley-Rideal mechanism. [5] The actual Eley-Rideal mechanism, studied in the thesis of Dan Eley and proposed by Eric Rideal in 1939, was the reaction between a chemisorbed and a physisorbed molecule. [ 6 ]
