Abstract:

One of the critical issues in the fusion reactor fuel system is tritium permeation through structural materials. Tritium permeates fast through metal walls at elevated temperature, resulting in a crucial fuel loss and radiological hazard for the environment. Moreover, hydrogen dissolves in most metals with forming metal hydrides, leading to a degradation of mechanical properties of metal structural materials, as it is called hydrogen embrittlement. A promising solution to reduce tritium permeation to an acceptable level is to coat a thin film as a tritium permeation barrier (TPB). TPBs have been studied using ceramic coatings over several decades in the fusion reactor engineering research field. However, no appropriate coating materials or fabrication methods for practical applications have been determined. Our efforts have been dedicated to investigating hydrogen isotope permeation behaviors in TPBs using mainly metal oxide coatings for a decade. The hydrogen isotope permeation mechanism was elucidated, leading to the world's highest permeation reduction factor at elevated temperatures. The development of coating process toward plant-scale fabrication has also progressed using liquid phase methods. A multilayer structure has been recently investigated to make TPBs which have multiple functions: adhesion to structural materials in a wide operational temperature range, compatibility with corrosive materials, etc. Irradiation effects on tritium permeation in TPBs have been also studied using heavy-ions and a γ-ray source. In this presentation, achievements and current challenges for the research and development of TPBs are introduced.

Abstract:

A hypothetical pre-fermion particle theory of everything explaining the symmetric foundations of physics and why relativistic and quantum systems are different. Based on a single particle/anti-particle foundation and the background from which they emerge, the zoo of fermions, bosons, nucleons, photons and the observed universe are explained. The only two types of energy existing are treated identically and produce standard formulae, except where the missing component in current formulae is shown to be necessary to explain stable orbits. Matter and anti-matter are shown to be present in equal quantities and dark matter is shown as the same composite loop form as matter, but with immiscible symmetries due to different number of particle/anti-particle pairs in the composites. The emergence of the particle/anti-particles from merged to unmerged state is shown to lead to randomly distributed failed big bang events within our single universe through which our successful big bang is expanding. Viscosity in the background universe, comprising merged particle/anti-particle pairs, saps energy from all composite particles and produces the light speed terminal velocity of photons. The resultant viscosity red-shift needs to be accommodated within current estimates of the size, age and expansion rate of the universe. The viscosity of the background in sapping energy from all motion within it leads to an arrow of time, the second law of thermodynamics and the relativistic framework. Where the background is absent, in tunnels between entangled loops, there is no viscosity present and velocities above light speed are possible and the quantum framework exists.

Hans Deyssenroth studied Electrical Engineering at the TH Karlsruhe and Physics at the University of Basel. He worked as a Biometrician and led an IT department in the pharmaceutical industry. After retirement, he became actively engaged in challenging the validity of the Theories of Relativity.

Abstract:

In physics, mathematical models verify observed phenomena with high accuracy but do not explain the underlying principles. Furthermore, are these mathematical models physically sound? Is it reasonable that mass can increase just by a transformation of coordinates? How can a particle behave like a wave? Remember, the mathematically correct epicycle model also led to incorrect conclusions in Physics in ancient times. Now is the time to study physical mechanisms e.g. in the Yokto range (10-24 m), which have the potential to explain observations in the quantum world, rather than continuously extending mathematical models. Unfortunately, current theories are taken for granted and scientists are too averse to challenge accepted norms. Disproving the Theories of Relativity offers an opportunity to address this impasse and could motivate scientists to open their mind to other ideas.  In this talk I propose an experiment, which could substantiate that the expected symmetry of observations for the Relativistic Doppler effect does not exist because the effect can also be interpreted as a geometric mean of classical Doppler effects. In this case the principle of relativity would not be valid, which demonstrates that the mathematical basis of the Theories of Relativity is incorrect. I will also present some ideas to explain these mechanisms.

Abstract:

We study elemental concentrations in some archaeological samples, linked to interest in essential element homeostasis and uptake of potentially harmful elements; the study of elemental concentrations in ancient skeletal remains can potentially be linked with modern studies, providing a reference to high exposure levels no longer common today. The samples, were obtained from historical area which discovered in east of Saudi Arabia at 1977 G, Called Al-RAKKAH and eight archaeological artefacts fired clay were recovered. Using a measurement arrangement consisting of a low-energy mini-X-ray generator and a Si-PIN detector, results are obtained from periosteal concentrations, the influence of the post-mortem environment being clearly differentiated from in vivo uptake. Also, by using an HPGe detector gamma-ray spectrometer, the activity concentrations of 226Ra 232Th and 40K were found in surface soil samples ranged from 17.4±1.2 Bq/kg to 28.3±2.3 Bq/kg with an average value of 23±1.6 Bq/kg, ranging from 1.1±1.8 Bq/kg to 81.0±1.7 Bq/kg with the average value 20±1.4 Bq/kg and from 218±11 Bq/kg to 255±18 Bq/kg, with the mean value of 233±12 Bq/kg respectively. The mean radium equivalent (Raeq) and outdoor radiation hazard index (Hex) for the area under study were determined as 69.52 Bq/kg and 0.16 respectively. The total absorbed dose rate due to three primordial radionuclides lies in the range of 17.74-72.24 nGy·h⁻¹ with a mean of 32.69 nGy·h−1, which yields total annual effective dose of 0.37 mSv·y⁻¹ Thermo Scientific Quant’X EDXRF spectrometer were used also to determine the concentrations of the elements Si, Al, Fe, Ti, Ca, Na, S, Pb, Sn, As and Zn. as major, trace and toxic elements. We hope that the data presented here will be useful to those dealing with Portland cement, phosphate fertilizer chemistry and related fields.

Abstract:

Application, in the research spent by the author, of laws of classical mechanics to mechanical models of interactions of spherical sources and the drains radiating and absorbing streams of material particles of an ether, in full conformity with views of classics of natural sciences Faraday and Maxwell have allowed for the first time on a mechanical basis:

To receive more generally the equations practically all known physical interactions in the analytical integrated form and to prove, thereby, mechanical essence of the physical phenomena;

To explain: cyclic evolutionary sequence of development of objects of material systems; the reasons of an inclination of axes of rotation of planets and the Sun to a plane ecliptic and discrepancies of axes of rotation with magnetic axes; the pear-shaped form of planets and the Sun; the mechanical nature levitation John Searle’s disks and other similar researches; the reasons of a paradoxically of modern electrodynamics; negative results of experiences Michelson - Morley application Newton's the corpuscular theory; effect of "increase in relativistic weight», as result of incorrectly interpreted experiment and so on.

The method essence consists in definition of distribution of speeds and accelerations of streams of particles of an ether by means of superposition of fields of speeds and accelerations on surfaces of co-operating spherical sources and drains. Applying Newton's second law (the differential law of mechanical movement) and Newton's third law (equalities of action and counteraction) to streams of particles of an ether and, integrating as a whole on a surface of a spherical source or a drain in the set direction, we receive the equations of sizes of the forces operating between co-operating spherical objects.

Abstract:

In papers, one demonstrates that the electrical dipole force F_D between two electrical dipoles may exist at any distance r, by reciprocal orientation. But considering actual force F_C, given by Coulomb law, such dipole force F_D depends on a term in 1/r⁴, being negligible compared to the gravitational force F_N, which in Newton’s law depends on 1/r². To obtain the principal term in 1/r², for dipole interaction F_D, it was necessary and sufficiently to admit a hypothesis which considers a new Coulomb law force F_CC, as a series of terms of powers of r, including a new term, –ln r. With this force F_CC, for dipole interaction new force F_DC, an expression having the principal term in 1/r² results, as in Newton’s law. In order to verify the above hypothesis, numerical checking for the new dipole force F_DC was performed, utilizing actual electric permeability, the constant ε₀ corrected. These calculations made for an astronomical distance (10⁹m), showed a good agreement (relative ratio R=F_N/F_DC ≈ 0.626) between the force F_N and the dipole force F_DC obtained with the corrected Coulomb law. On the basis of this gravity theory, some important consequences result, such as the inexistence of the gravitational waves, of the black holes, of the space gravitational curvature, and of the big-bang. This gravity theory with more than 4 terms of series, yield the four known forces of nature, unifying them. The new gravity theory is possible only in quantum environment admitting the presence of an ether.

Abstract:

The spin susceptibility of strongly correlated electrons in a low-disorder two-dimensional electron system exhibits a sharp increase tending to a divergence at a finite electron density. Surprisingly, this behavior is due to the divergence of the effective mass rather than that of the g-factor. Our results provide clear evidence for an interaction-induced phase transition to a new phase that may be a precursor phase or a direct transition to the long sought-after Wigner solid.

Abstract:

We study the problem of dynamics of the 2D and 3D solitary waves in complex media with the varying time and space dispersive parameters . For example, stu­dying of the evolution of the 3D FMS waves in ma­g­­netized plasma, which is described by the KP equation where ,  when b is a function of the Alf­vén velocity v_А=f[B(t,r),n(t,r)] (n is the plas­ma den­­sity) and the angle q: . Similar situation has place for the ion-acoustic (IA) waves in collisional dusty plasma when in the absence of dissipation and dust-charge variation the dispersion law are  where   is the IA speed in dissipationless plasma with constant-charge dust. It is clear that the dispersion will be variable with variation in time and space of ratio of plasma components (for exam­ple, in case of heterogeneous distribution of dust in space). In this case the corresponding equations are similar to that for IA surface waves. We present here the results of numerical simulation of the solitary waves in the KP model distracting from a specific type of medium for different model functions b which are: sharp "break" of ; 2) gradual change of "height" ; and "oscillations" of . As a result we have obtained the different types of stable and unstable solutions including the solutions of the mixed soliton - non-soliton type for different characters of dispersion variations.

Abstract:

A significant part of the history of physics is the history of atomism: the idea that physical reality is made from particles. After the events of Galileo in the Copernican Revolution the idea of atomism had to be reconsidered, and with Newton came the idea of atomism as point-particles. This was the idea that was developed by Boscovich in his unified theory published in 1758. This became the basis of modern atomic physics and Einstein’s unified field theory investigations. This was taught to physics students up to early 20^th Century, and unfortunately after World War 1 and 2 the physics curriculum was revised by having Boscovich (and related material) trimmed from what was taught to make room for such new subjects as Quantum mechanics and Einstein’s relativity. This in my view meant that most physicists have been given a bad understanding of the basics of physics resulting in them making numerous miscomprehensions. There is now a tradition of scientists working on Unified field theory (with its origins with Boscovich) that lies mostly outside of mainstream tradition.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is discussing about how to establish the electron equilibrium (EE) in simulation of Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) by Monte Carlo code. LiF TLD was modeled in MCNP code and the photon energy of 1 MeV was considered. Due to the small volume of TLDs (~ 3×3×0.89 mm³), simulations are extremely time-consuming and that is a problem in Monte Carlo simulation. One way to reduce the run-time is to establish the EE, therefore one can use kerma approximation instead of the absorbed dose calculation in the MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code) code. For this purpose, LiF TLD was surrounded by the different wrapping materials (Aluminium and Teflon), therefore LiF TLD was surrounded by AL and Teflon. The thickness (and volume) of these wrappings were obtained 0.329 cm (0.082 cm³) and 0.339 cm (0.217 cm³) for Aluminium and Teflon, respectively. However, finding suitable thickness for different materials at each energy is a time consuming process in this way. The second way to establish the EE is placing a huge volume in the front of TLD. For this purpose one LiF TLD was placed on the chest and the other TLD on the back of the phantom (the anatomical models of the human body). Results show that when phantom was irradiated from the front the EE is established for back TLD and vice versa. In this way, the establishing of the EE is dependent on the position of TLD. The third way is enlarging the TLD volume and replacing LiF by air as TLD material. Results indicate that by increasing the volume from 10^-3 till 10⁵ cm³, the absorbed dose remains constant in air TLD ,but it decreases in LiF TLD; whereas for very small volume the results of two TLDs are consistent with each other. In this way, the EE is established without any restriction.

Abstract:

Thermal irreversibility in DC magnetic measurements under magnetic field (H) is readily observed in ferromagnetic (FM) or antiferromagnetic (AFM) materials, in spin-glasses and in superconducting systems. In all standard cases the zero-field-cooled curves (ZFC) lie below field-cooled (FC) branches (FC>ZFC) up to a typical characteristic temperature corresponding to the various physical states. An unusual magnetic behavior where the FC branches cross the ZFC curves (ZFC>FC) has been recently observed in three unrelated systems: (i) Inhomogeneous commercial and fabricated amorphous carbon powders synthesized with sulfur (a-CS) which exhibit pronounced peaks in their virgin ZFC curves at T_P ~50-80 K. Around these peaks the FC curves cross the ZFC plots thus at a certain temperature range ZFC>FC. This complex behavior is irreproducible and disappears in the second ZFC run. (ii) In a chiral-based magnetic memory device where the main components are: α-helix L-polyalanine adsorbed on gold, Al₂O₃ and Co or Ni layers. The peculiar ZFC>FC behavior is observed in the hard direction only. (iii) In a pathological liver tissues taken from a patient with hematological malignancies. This peculiar phenomenon cannot be ascribed to extra magnetic phases (oxygen or magnetite), and is believed to be an intrinsic property of the three unrelated systems. We may assume that in the ground state the intrinsic magnetic moments in each system are randomly distributed. In the first ZFC runs, low H, allign these moments to flip along its direction in a FM manner up to T_P. Above T_P, an antiparallel exchange (AFM) coupling is more favored and in the next ZFC and FC processes the net magnetic moments are lower and crosse the ZFC branchs. Alternatively, we may speculate that all systems are in the so called two-state system separated by a certain energy barrier.
