We report a systematic study of the $c$ lattice parameter in the Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$ phases versus Na content $x>0.5$, in which sodium always displays ordered arrangements. This allows us to single out the first phase which exhibits an AF…
Yrast levels of Ni, Cu and Zn isotopes for $40 \leq N \leq50$ have been described by state-of-the-art shell model calculations with three recently available interactions using $^{56}$Ni as a core in the $f_{5/2}pg_{9/2}$ model space. The…
