Investigation on structural and magnetic properties of the mechanosynthesized Fe-doped ZrO2-15mol%Y2O3 by Sari Ali, Keddam Mourad, Ouanezar Abdelkader, Malki Abderrahim

“…It has been found that there was no sign of tetragonal to metastable m-ZrO2 transition after annealing in the temperature range 500-1100°C keeping the tetragonal phase rich in Y3+ structurally stable. Taking into account the effect of the combined Fe3+ and Y3+ elements on structural features of the ball-milled product, Fe3+ cations promote the mobility of Y3+ and consequently diffuse into the tetragonal crystal lattice at room temperature, while Y3+ cations act as tetragonal stabilizers at high temperature.…”

Effect of Number of Various-Type Acid Sites Located on 20 % Co/ZrO2 • SiO2 Sample Surface on Parameters of Catalytic Process in Synthesis of High-Octane Motor Fuel Components by A. P. Nesenchouk, A. V. Sednin, O. F. Kraetskaya, L. M. Sliapniova

“…The paper shows that the highest values of CO conversion and C5+ hydrocarbon output correspond to maximum number of acid sites, and that number accounts for a peak of desorbed ammonia at Tmax = 122 °C, while the lowest isoparaffin output corresponds to minimum number of acid sites, which characterizes a peak of desorbed ammonia at Tmax = 224–257 °C.…”

The decay $$B\rightarrow K+\nu +\bar{\nu }$$ B → K + ν + ν ¯ at Belle II and a massless bino in R-parity-violating supersymmetry by Zeren Simon Wang, Herbert K. Dreiner, Julian Y. Günther

“…With a single non-vanishing RPV coupling $$\lambda '_{i23/i32}$$ λ i 23 / i 32 ′ , $$\lambda '_{i13/i33}$$ λ i 13 / i 33 ′ , or $$\lambda '_{i12/i22}$$ λ i 12 / i 22 ′ , where $$i=1,2,3$$ i = 1 , 2 , 3 , the decay $$B^+\rightarrow K^+ +\overset{\scriptscriptstyle (-)}{\nu _i}+ \tilde{\chi }^0_1$$ B + → K + + ν i ( - ) + χ ~ 1 0 can be induced, which would lead to the same signature as $$B^+\rightarrow K^+ +\nu +\bar{\nu }$$ B + → K + + ν + ν ¯ . Taking into account both theoretical and experimental uncertainties, we derive the regions of the parameter space spanned by the RPV couplings and sfermion masses that could accommodate the new measurement at various significance levels and obey the existing bounds simultaneously.…”
