Abstract: Abstract Southeastern Europe is the birthplace of metallurgy, with evidence of copper smelting at ca. 5000 BCE. There the later Eneolithic (Copper Age) was associated with the casting of massive copper tools. However, copper metallurgy… read more here.

Abstract: Nuclear charge radii globally scale with atomic mass number A as A 1∕3 , and isotopes with an odd number of neutrons are usually slightly smaller in size than their even-neutron neighbours. This odd–even staggering,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1674-1137/41/9/094001
Abstract: A method is proposed to determine the one-neutron Sn or two-neutron S2n separation energy of neutron-rich isotopes. Relationships between Sn (S2n) and isotopic cross sections have been deduced from an empirical formula, i.e., the cross… read more here.
