We present a hybrid approach for GW/Bethe-Salpeter Equation (BSE) calculations of core excitation spectra, including x-ray absorption (XAS), electron energy loss spectra (EELS), and nonresonant inelastic x-ray scattering (NRIXS). The method is based on ab initio wavefunctions from the plane-wave pseudopotential code ABINIT; atomic core-level states and projector augmented wave (PAW) transition ...

Pure magnesium (Mg) powders together with pure titanium (Ti) were mechanically alloyed (MAed) using a vibration ball mill. Stearic acid was used as process control agent (PCA) for the mechanical alloying (MA) process. The MAed consolidated into bulk materials by spark plasma sintering (SPS). Changes in hardness and solid-state reactions of SPS have been examined measurements an X-ray diffractio...

The titanium oxide superconductors exhibit many intriguing phenomena analogous to cuprates and iron pnictides/chalcogenides thus provide an ideal platform for studying the pairing mechanism of high-temperature superconductors. Here we report fabrication superconducting Mg-Ti-O films on ${\mathrm{MgAl}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ substrates with three principal orientations by ablating a ${\mathrm{MgT...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the kerma at the surface of the lens in TMJ CBCT and to derive the equivalent dose. An anthropomorphic phantom of the head and neck manufactured by Radiation Support Devices (model RS230) was used. The dosimetric measurements were obtained by using fourteen thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLD) dosimeters (LiF: Mg, Ti), divided in two pairs (one pair for each e...
