Centrality dependence of spectra for identified hadrons in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at GeV
The centrality dependence of transverse momentum spectra for identified
hadrons at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at GeV is
systematically studied in a quark combination model. The
spectra of , , and in
different centrality bins and the nuclear modification factors () for
these hadrons are calculated. The centrality dependence of the average
collective transverse velocity for the hot and dense quark matter
is obtained in Au+Au collisions, and it is applied to a relative smaller Cu+Cu
collision system. The centrality dependence of spectra and
the for , and in Cu+Cu collisions at
GeV are well described. The results show that is only a function of the number of participants and it is
independent of the collision system.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
Effect of LLT Coating on Elevated Temperature Cycle Life Performance of LiMn2O4 Cathode Material
LiMn2O4 compound are synthesized by polymer precursor method using polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) at temperatures (T), 650, 750 and 850°C which was coated by a thin La0.61Li0.17TiO3 (LLT). The structure and the morphology of the compounds are studied by the Rietveld refined X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, respectively. To investigate the effect of LLT coating galvanostatic charge-discharge cycling (60 mA g-1) studies are made in the voltage range of 3.5-4.3 V vs. Li at elevated temperature (55 deg. C). The high-temperature electrochemical performance of the LiMn2O4 was significantly improved by the LLT coating. © 2013, The Electrochemical Society, Inc. All rights reserved.1
