Review of Scientific Instruments publishes novel advancements in scientific instrumentation, apparatuses, techniques of experimental measurement, and related mathematical analysis. Its content includes publication of regular and in-depth review articles on instruments covering all areas of science including physics, chemistry, and biology.
We generate an atomic beam of titanium (Ti) using a “Ti-ball” Ti-sublimation pump, which is a common getter pump used in ultrahigh vacuum systems. We show that the sublimated atomic beam can be ...
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) are superconducting detectors capable of single-photon counting with energy resolution across the ultraviolet, optical, and infrared (UVOIR) spectrum ...
A pulsed power facility has been designed for studying the warm dense matter regime. It is based on the pulsed Joule heating technique, originally proposed by Korobenko and Rakhel [Int. J. Thermophy. ...
Transient Raman thermometry improves on its steady-state counterpart by eliminating the error-prone steps of temperature calibration and laser absorption measurement. However, the accompanying ...
The rapid development of computation power and machine learning algorithms has paved the way for automating scientific discovery with a scanning probe microscope (SPM). The key elements toward ...
In low-energy collisions between two dipolar molecules, the long-range dipole–dipole interaction plays an important role in the scattering dynamics. Merged beam configurations offer the lowest ...
The Testbed for Analysis of Permeation of Atoms in Samples (TAPAS) is an experimental setup for ion-driven permeation studies with a focus on investigating wall materials for nuclear fusion devices. ...
Understanding the confinement of fast ions is crucial for plasma heating and non-inductive current drive, i.e., for the operation of a fusion reactor. Interactions between fast ions and ...
Betatron x rays from a laser wakefield accelerator provide a new avenue for high-resolution, high-throughput radiography of solid materials. Here, we demonstrate the optimization of betatron x rays ...
