The occurence of “exotic” shapes in light N=Z α-like nuclei is investigated for 24Mg+12C and 32S+24Mg. Various approaches of superdeformed and hyperdeformed bands associated with quasimolecular resonant structures with low spin are presented. For both reactions, exclusive data were collected with the Binary Reaction Spectrometer in coincidence with EUROBALL IV installed at the VIVITRON Tandem f...

Coatings of the Mg(OH)2/Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) composite were formed by a combined co-precipitation method and hydrothermal process on the AZ31 alloy substrate in alkaline condition. Subsequently, a superhydrophobic surface was successfully constructed to modify the composite coatings on the AZ31 alloy substrate using stearic acid. The characteristics of the composite coatings wer...

Rechargeable Mg-ion batteries typically suffer from either rapid passivation of the Mg anode or severe corrosion current collectors by halogens within electrolyte, limiting their practical implementation. Here, we demonstrate broadly applicable strategy forming an artificial solid electrolyte interphase (a-SEI) layer on to address these challenges. The a-SEI is formed simply soaking foil in a t...

Gallium oxide when doped with Mg becomes semi-insulating and can be useful for power electronic devices. The present work investigates optical transitions of neutral (MgGa0) using photoinduced electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, a variation the traditional absorption. Steady-state time-dependent measurements are carried out at 130 K by illuminating samples photon energies from 0.7 to ...
