Implementation and Optimization of the PTOLEMY Transverse Drift Electromagnetic Filter
A. Apponi, M. G. Betti, M. Borghesi +53
The PTOLEMY transverse drift filter is a new concept to enable precision analysis of the energy spectrum of electrons near the tritium beta-decay endpoint. This paper details the i…
Narrowing of d bands of FeCo layers intercalated under graphene
Daniela Pacilè, Claudia Cardoso, Giulia Avvisati +7
We report on the electronic properties of an artificial system obtained by the intercalation of equiatomic FeCo layers under graphene grown on Ir(111). Upon intercalation, the FeCo…
Magnetic response and electronic states of well defined Graphene/Fe/Ir(111) heterostructure
Claudia Cardoso, Giulia Avvisati, Pierluigi Gargiani +7
We investigate a well defined heterostructure constituted by magnetic Fe layers sandwiched between graphene (Gr) and Ir(111). The challenging task to avoid Fe-C solubility and Fe-I…
Response of Windowless Silicon Avalanche Photo-Diodes to Electrons in the 90-900 eV Range
Alice Apponi, Gianluca Cavoto, Marco Iannone +5
We report on the characterization of the response of windowless silicon avalanche photo-diodes to electrons in the 90-900 eV energy range. The electrons were provided by a monoener…
Carbon nanotubes as anisotropic target for dark matter
G Cavoto, M G Betti, C Mariani +4
Directional detection of Dark Matter (DM) particles could be accomplished by studying either ion or electron recoils in large arrays of parallel carbon nanotubes. For instance, a M…
Chemical Vapor Deposition Growth of Boron-Carbon-Nitrogen layers from Methylamine Borane Thermolysis Products
Fabrice Leardini, Eduardo Flores, Andrés R. Galvis +15
This work investigates the growth of B-C-N layers by chemical vapor deposition using methylamine borane (MeAB) as single-source precursor. MeAB has been synthesized and characteriz…
Neutrino physics with the PTOLEMY project: active neutrino properties and the light sterile case
PTOLEMY collaboration, M. G. Betti, M. Biasotti +54
The PTOLEMY project aims to develop a scalable design for a Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB) detector, the first of its kind and the only one conceived that can look directly at th…
A Design for an Electromagnetic Filter for Precision Energy Measurements at the Tritium Endpoint
M. G. Betti, M. Biasotti, A. Bosca +48
We present a detailed description of the electromagnetic filter for the PTOLEMY project to directly detect the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB). Starting with an initial estimate f…
PTOLEMY: A Proposal for Thermal Relic Detection of Massive Neutrinos and Directional Detection of MeV Dark Matter
E. Baracchini, M. G. Betti, M. Biasotti +48
We propose to achieve the proof-of-principle of the PTOLEMY project to directly detect the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB). Each of the technological challenges described in [1,2]…
Electronic Structure Evolution during the Growth of Graphene Nanoribbons on Au(110)
Ada Della Pia, Giulia Avvisati, Oualid Ourdjini +6
Surface-assisted polymerization of molecular monomers into extended chains can be used as the seed of graphene nanoribbon (GNR) formation, resulting from a subsequent cyclo-dehydro…
A lithium-ion battery based on a graphene nanoflakes ink anode and a lithium iron phosphate cathode
Jusef Hassoun, Francesco Bonaccorso, Marco Agostini +8
Li-ion rechargeable batteries have enabled the wireless revolution transforming global communication. Future challenges, however, demands distributed energy supply at a level that…
