Thermodynamic Limit in High-Multiplicity Proton-Proton Collisions at s=7 TeV by Natasha Sharma, Jean Cleymans, Boris Hippolyte

“…Three different ensembles are used in the analysis: the grand canonical ensemble, the canonical ensemble with exact strangeness conservation, and the canonical ensemble with exact baryon number, strangeness, and electric charge conservation. It is shown that for the highest multiplicity class the three ensembles lead to the same result. …”

The Defect Structure Evolution in MgH₂-EEWNi Composites in Hydrogen Sorption–Desorption Processes by Viktor N. Kudiiarov, Alan Kenzhiyev, Roman R. Elman, Nikita Kurdyumov, Ivan A. Ushakov, Andrei V. Tereshchenko, Roman S. Laptev, Mark A. Kruglyakov, Parvizi I. Khomidzoda

“…This paper presents the results of the study of the composite based on magnesium hydride with the addition of nanosized nickel powder, obtained by the method of an electric explosion of wires. The obtained MgH₂-EEWNi (20 wt.%) composite with the core-shell configuration demonstrated the development of a defect structure, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the hydrogen desorption temperature from 418 °C for pure magnesium hydride to 229 °C for hydride with the addition of nickel powder. …”
