Catalytic Activity of Cobalt Ferrites in Water Oxidation Reactions and Its Defect Dependency
Cobalt ferrite spinels calcined at 400–600 °C show temperature‐dependent changes in crystallinity, particle size, and defect concentration. A combination of PXRD, BET, SEM, Mössbauer spectroscopy, magnetometry, and PALS reveals how defect landscapes govern opposing trends in chemical versus electrochemical water oxidation.

Cosmological Lower Bound on Dark Matter Masses from the Soft Gamma-ray Background [PDF]
Motivated by a recent detection of 511 keV photons from the center of our Galaxy, we calculate the spectrum of the soft gamma-ray background of the redshifted 511 keV photons from cosmological halos.

Hadron pair production in semi-inclusive electron positron annihilation process at twist-4
Fragmentation functions are important quantities in describing the hadronization process in high energy reactions. They can induce various azimuthal modulations which can be measured to reveal correlations between transverse momenta and polarizations ...

Vacancies in low‐dose ion‐implanted GaN are studied by positron annihilation. Depth profiles of the net donor concentration (ND) are close to those for implanted impurities, but ND is 2–3 times higher than concentrations of implanted ions. The origin of donor‐like defects is expected to be N‐vacancy‐related defects, and Ga‐vacancy‐type defects play a ...

Quasi-real-time range monitoring by in-beam PET: a case for 15O
A fast and reliable range monitoring method is required to take full advantage of the high linear energy transfer provided by therapeutic ion beams like carbon and oxygen while minimizing damage to healthy tissue due to range uncertainties.

Structural and Transport Properties of Thick and Thin Cr2AlC Films
This study compares structural and transport properties of Cr2AlC thin films (50 and 500 nm) systematically disordered by ion irradiation. Columnar grain growth is observed only in 500 nm films, while both films exhibit a weak fiber texture. Kondo scattering from displaced Cr atoms leads to a resistivity upturn, with distinct magnetoresistance in each ...
