Mg/Ti multilayers: structural, optical and hydrogen absorption properties

A. Baldi, G. K. Palsson, M. Gonzalez-Silveira +11

Mg-Ti alloys have uncommon optical and hydrogen absorbing properties, originating from a "spinodal-like" microstructure with a small degree of chemical short-range order in the ato…

Possible Experience: from Boole to Bell

K. Hess, K. Michielsen, H. De Raedt

Mainstream interpretations of quantum theory maintain that violations of the Bell inequalities deny at least either realism or Einstein locality. Here we investigate the premises o…
