Electrical Properties of Tin Selenide Under High-Pressure

The article investigates the pressure-induced phase transitions in tin selenide (SnSe). using the first-principles density functional calculations. The experimental results in the nanostructured SnSe revealed a phase transition at 4 GPa whereas that in the well-crystallized samples showed at 10 GPa.

Antihydrogen Synthesis Via Magnetobound States of Protonium Within Proton-Positron-Antiproton Plasmas (open access)

Antihydrogen Synthesis Via Magnetobound States of Protonium Within Proton-Positron-Antiproton Plasmas

Article studies the possibility that antihydrogen can be synthesized via three body recombination involving magnetobound protonium through classical trajectory simulation. It has been previously reported that proton antiproton collisions can result in a correlated drift of the particles perpendicular to a magnetic field. While the two particles are in their correlated drift, they are referred to as a magnetobound protonium system. Possible three body recombination resulting in bound state antihydrogen is studied when a magnetobound protonium system encounters a positron.

Effect of a finite antiproton mass on antihydrogen synthesis via magnetobound positronium within electron-positron-antiproton plasmas (open access)

Effect of a finite antiproton mass on antihydrogen synthesis via magnetobound positronium within electron-positron-antiproton plasmas

This article describes a study that was conducted to determine what would happen if a magnetobound positronium system encountered a finite-mass antiproton. The simulation incorporates a strong magnetic field (1 T) similar to that found within Penning traps. The simulation shows that with a finite-mass antiproton, the electron will be ejected from the system, and the positron is captured into a bound state with an antiproton thereby synthesizing antihydrogen.
