The influence of hydrostatic pressure on hysteresis phase transition in spin crossover compounds
1999
Abstract The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the transition temperature and the hysteresis widths of first order spin crossover phase transitions has been studied. A decrease as well as an increase of the hysteresis width with increasing pressure was reported in the literature. The increase of width with increasing pressure contradicts the expectation derived from mean field theory. We remeasured the pressure dependence of the temperature hysteresis of the compound [Fe(phy)2](BF4)2 (phy=1, 10-phenanthroline-2-carbaldehydephenylhydrazone). The spin transition temperatures at ambient temperature are T ↑ 1/2 =289±1 K, T ↓ 1/2 =283±1 K . An increase of the hysteresis width of d Δ T 1/2 / d p=…
Studies of the performance of the ATLAS detector using cosmic-ray muons
2011
Muons from cosmic-ray interactions in the atmosphere provide a high-statistics source of particles that can be used to study the performance and calibration of the ATLAS detector. Cosmic-ray muons can penetrate to the cavern and deposit energy in all detector subsystems. Such events have played an important role in the commissioning of the detector since the start of the installation phase in 2005 and were particularly important for understanding the detector performance in the time prior to the arrival of the first LHC beams. Global cosmic-ray runs were undertaken in both 2008 and 2009 and these data have been used through to the early phases of collision data-taking as a tool for calibrat…
