The effect of triple excitations in coupled cluster calculations of frequency-dependent polarizabilities
1998
Abstract Frequency-dependent polarizabilities have been implemented within the CC3 model. Comparison with full configuration interaction results shows that the triple excitation effects included in CC3 lead to a significantly improved treatment for the dispersion of the polarizability of CH+. For the refractivity and polarizability anisotropy of N2, better agreement with experiment is found for the CC3 results than for those obtained with the coupled cluster singles and doubles model.
Lateral indirect exchange coupling in a two-dimensional nanostripe array
2002
We observe a lateral indirect exchange coupling in a multistripe system of parallel Fe nanostripes grown by self-organized growth on a vicinal single-crystal W(110) surface. The width and the distance between the stripes of monolayer height were modified via the total amount of deposited Fe. The easy axis of the magnetization lies perpendicular to the stripe edges and in the surface plane, thus resulting in a ferromagnetic dipolar coupling. In addition to the dipolar coupling we observe an antiferromagnetic indirect exchange coupling for the nanostripe system covered by Au. The coupling causes a superferromagnetic phase transition in the nanostripe array.
Fine tuning of the magnetic properties in Mn3-Co Ga Heusler films near the critical regime
2021
Abstract Tunability of structural and magnetic properties of Mn3-xCoxGa films is presented by Co substitution, where critical behavior emerges 0.37 ≤ x ≤ 0.56 exhibiting a transition from tetragonal hard ferrimagnetic with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) to a cubic soft ferrimagnetic phase with in-plane magnetic anisotropy (IMA). In the critical regime, coexisting state of tetragonal and cubic phases possesses significantly low coercive field (HC = 1.9 kOe) with relatively low saturation magnetization (MS = 100~150 emu/cc) while maintaining the PMA. From first-principles calculations, moments of two Mn sites do not change upon Co substitution. However, moments of substituted Co almo…
Interpretation of epicardial mapping by means of computer simulations: Applications to calcium, lidocaine and to BRL 34915
1992
The aim of this work was to compare experimental investigations on effects of lidocaine, calcium and, BRL 34915 on reentries to simulated data obtained by use of a model of propagation based on the Huygens' construction method already described in previous works. Calcium and lidocaine effects are investigated on anisotropic conduction conditions. In both cases, reduction in conduction velocities are observed. In lidocaine case, a refractory area is located along the longitudinal axis. In agreement with experimental electrical mapping, the simulations show that the stabilization of reentrant excitation is mainly due to the existence of this refractory area around which the reentrant circuit …
Microscopic origin of the nonexponential dynamics in a glassy crystal
2003
The origin of the slow relaxation and of the dynamic heterogeneity is studied for an orientation-ally disordered crystal, orthocarborane, composed of quasi-icosahedrally shaped molecules. Multidimensional deuteron magnetic resonance reveals that large jump angles dominate their complex, anisotropic reorientational motion. It involves a sequence of small-angle tilts about locally preferred axes as well as symmetry adapted threefold jumps. The intrinsic dynamics of this glassy crystal is nonexponential and can be fully accounted for in terms of the tilt and jump motion.
X-ray investigation and discussion of the magnetostriction of Gd3T(T= Ni, Rh, Irx) single crystals
2000
The variations of the lattice parameters of Gd3T(T= Ni, Rh, Irx) single crystals with temperature were measured in the range 10–300 K. The compounds with Ni and Rh crystallize in the orthorhombic space groupPnma, but the compound with Ir crystallizes as Gd5Ir2in the monoclinic space groupA2/a. The three compounds exhibit an anomalous anisotropic spontaneous magnetostriction below the magnetic ordering temperature.
Solid state NMR studies of gels derived from low molecular mass gelators
2016
The emergence of NMR crystallography provides a unique opportunity to study solids, gels and xerogels, thereby providing ample information to elucidate molecular packing in the native gel. This review details the importance as well as the application of solid state NMR spectroscopy combined with other analytical tools to study gels derived from low molecular mass organo- and hydrogelators.
Synthesis, Chirality, and Magnetic Properties of Bimetallic Cyanide-Bridged Two-Dimensional Ferromagnets
2006
The assembly of hexacyanoferrate(III) anions and nickel(II) bis-diamino complexes of the chiral ligand trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine (trans-chxn) yields cyanide-bridged two-dimensional ferromagnets of the general formula [Ni(trans-chxn)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2‚2H2O. Their crystal structure is built from cyanide-bridged bimetallic planes separated by the bulky chxn ligands, giving rise to a large interlayer distance ( d ) 11.7 A). These materials order ferromagnetically at the Curie temperature TC ) 14 K. AC susceptibility measurements evidence an unusual magnetic behavior below TC, with a marked frequency dependence. A thorough magnetic analysis demonstrates that this complex behavior is due to the pi…
Structure and Microscopic Magnetism of Epitaxial Ni-Mn-Ga Films
2012
We report on the structural and magnetic properties of epitaxial thin films of the ferromagnetic shape memory material Ni–Mn–Ga prepared by DC magnetron sputter deposition. Different substrate materials, i.e., MgO(100) and Al2O3(11−20) allow for a tailored epitaxial growth. Using a sacrificial chromium buffer layer freestanding epitaxial films are obtained. In combination with photolithography partially freestanding structures such as microbridges are fabricated. The complex martensite crystal structure in substrate-constrained and freestanding films is studied by means of X-ray diffraction. The identified asymmetric twin variant configuration is associated with a macroscopic surface patter…

2000
A new experimental apparatus, allowing the determination of radiocristallographic elastic constants (REC) as a function of the temperature is presented. The material studied the zirconium alloy Zircaloy-4, showing low elastic anisotropy, an isotropic treatment of the problem is possible. As a consequence, the classical sin 2 ψ method is used to determine the REC from room temperature to 300°C.
