The influence of nitrogen pressure on the fabrication of the two-phase superhard nanocomposite (TiZrNbAlYCr)N coatings

The multicomponent nitride coatings from TiZrNbAlYCr high entropy alloy (HEA) were fabricated using the vacuum-arc method. The effect of nitrogen pressure on the crystallite size, elemental and phase composition of (TiZrNbAlYCr)N coatings was investigated. A bias voltage applied to the substrate during the deposition process was −200 V. The partial nitrogen pressure was 0.05 Pa, 0.27 Pa, and 0.5 Pa. Body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice with crystallites of 15 nm in size was formed at the lowest pressure. An increase in the pressure led to the formation of the two-phase structure: BCC phase with crystallite size of 15 nm and face-centered cubic (FCC) phase with crystallite size of about 3.5 nm. The same two-phase state was found in coatings fabricated at 0.5 Pa, while the mean crystallite size was 7 nm. The maximum hardness of the deposited coatings was about 47 GPa.Crystallite

Formation of ITB in the vicinity of rational surfaces in the Uragan-3M torsatron

It was shown that there is the possibility of ITB formation in the vicinity of rational surfaces in a torsatron magnetic configuration. The formation of ITB is accompanied by fast change of plasma poloidal rotation velocity, radial electric field and its shear and the decrease of plasma density fluctuations. After the ITB formation the transition to the improved plasma confinement takes place. The transition stars when electron temperature in the region of rational surfaces is sufficient to satisfy the condition υTe/uei>>2πR0 (here υTe is electron thermal velocity and uei is the frequency of ion – electron collisions, and R0 is the major radius of the torus). Such a regime can be maintained during the whole duration of RF discharge without any disturbances.Показано, що існує можливість формування внутрішнього теплового бар’єру (ВТБ) в плазмі ВЧ розряду в околиці раціональних поверхонь в торсатронній магнітній конфігурації. Формування ВТБ супроводжується бистрими змінами швидкості полоідального обертання плазми, радіального електричного поля и його шира і зменшенням флуктуацій густини плазми поблизу раціональних поверхонь. Після формування ВТБ спостерігається перехід в режим поліпшеного утримання плазми. Час переходу зменшується із збільшенням ВЧ потужності нагріву.Показано, что имеется возможность формирования внутреннего теплового барьера (ВТБ) в плазме ВЧ разряда в окрестности рациональных поверхностей в торсатронной магнитной конфигурации. Формирование ВТБ сопровождается быстрыми изменениями скорости полоидального вращения плазмы, радиального электрического поля и его шира и уменьшением флуктуаций плотности плазмы вблизи рациональных поверхностей. После формирования ВТБ наблюдается переход в режим улучшенного удержания плазмы. Время перехода сокращается с увеличением ВЧ мощности нагрева

Search for high-mass new phenomena in the dilepton final state using proton–proton collisions at View the MathML sources=13TeV with the ATLAS detector

A search is conducted for both resonant and non-resonant high-mass new phenomena in dielectron and dimuon final states. The search uses View the MathML source3.2fb−1 of proton–proton collision data, collected at View the MathML sources=13TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in 2015. The dilepton invariant mass is used as the discriminating variable. No significant deviation from the Standard Model prediction is observed; therefore limits are set on the signal model parameters of interest at 95% credibility level. Upper limits are set on the cross-section times branching ratio for resonances decaying to dileptons, and the limits are converted into lower limits on the resonance mass, ranging between 2.74 TeV and 3.36 TeV, depending on the model. Lower limits on the ℓℓqqℓℓqq contact interaction scale are set between 16.7 TeV and 25.2 TeV, also depending on the mode
