Concurrently, the ultimate pressure of 0.1 nTorr can be obtained in the vacuum chamber. The introduced setup utilizes FTIR spectroscopy with a spectral measurement range of 400–7800 cm−1 and laser interference needed to determine the important physical and optical parameters. Several experiments allow us to stress that the data acquired using this apparatus are quite similar to those obtained by other researchers. Because of the non-directional deposition of substances from the vapor phase, the ice formed closely resembles the ice formed in space. This makes the introduced setup particularly useful. It is possible to use the presented cryovacuum apparatus to interpret data acquired in the course of astrophysical observations, allowing a researcher to determine the properties of space objects.","PeriodicalId":18077,"journal":{"name":"Low Temperature Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139459357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The structure of Cu-0.3 at. % Mo condensates demonstrates increased thermal stability, retaining the size of the original grain upon annealing up to 800 °C.

In the current research a unit with the geometry, which is similar to the geometry of one well of the standard 96-multiwell laboratory microplate, is used as a resonant metasurface unit cell and liquid-holding structure. Human serum albumin (HSA) is used as a protein specimen in our model study. The present numerical modeling is based on the results of our previous experimental measurements of complex permittivity values of HSA water solutions and its biochemical reaction mixtures using microwave dielectrometry method and the developed setup. The unit cell approach calculations are performed by COMSOL Multiphysics software. The optimization of working parameters of the metal-dielectric metasurface structure with tested solutions allow us to observe the resonance effects of the wave reflection coefficient in the microwave range. We can determine the HSA concentration changes in water solutions and enzymatic reaction mixtures by the resonance frequency shift of the wave reflection coefficient of the metal-dielectric metasurface.
