Carbonyl Back-Bonding Influencing the Rate of Quantum Tunnelling in a Dysprosium Metallocene Single-Molecule Magnet.
2019
The isocarbonyl-ligated metallocene coordination polymers [Cp*2M(μ-OC)W(Cp)(CO)(μ-CO)]∞ were synthesized with M = Gd (1, L = THF) and Dy (2, no L). In a zero direct-current field, the dysprosium version 2 was found to be a single-molecule magnet (SMM), with analysis of the dynamic magnetic susceptibility data revealing that the axial metallocene coordination environment leads to a large anisotropy barrier of 557(18) cm–1 and a fast quantum-tunnelling rate of ∼3.7 ms. Theoretical analysis of two truncated versions of 2, [Cp*2Dy{(μ-OC)W(Cp)(CO)2}2]− (2a), and [Cp*2Dy(OC)2]+ (2b), in which the effects of electron correlation outside the 4f orbital space were studied, revealed that tungsten-to-…
Quasi-digital conversion for resistive devices: application in GMR-based IC current sensors
2013
Resistive devices, including sensors, are used in a huge range of applications within different scenarios. When a complete system is considered, a quasi-digital output is often recommendable. If the conversion is operated at device level, some problems such as noise disturbs, insertion losses and so on, can be reduced. In this work, we describe a resistance-tofrequency (R-f) converter with a suggested application in low current monitoring by means of GiantMagnetoResistance (GMR) sensors. Specific devices have been designed and microfabricated. The system has been tested by means of discrete components with a PCB. The complete microsystem monolithic integration in a standard CMOS technology …
Numerical studies of the melting process in the induction furnace with cold crucible
2008
PurposeAims to present recent activities in numerical modeling of cold crucible melting process.Design/methodology/approach3D numerical analysis was used for electromagnetic problem and 3D large eddy simulation (LES) method was applied for fluid flow modeling.FindingsThe comparative modeling shows, that higher H/D ratio of the melt is more efficient when total power consumption is considered, but this advantage is held back by higher heat losses through the crucible walls. Also, calculations reveal that lower frequencies, which are energetically less effective, provide better mixing of the melt.Originality/value3D electromagnetic model, which allows to take into account non‐symmetrical dist…
The measurement programme at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN
2016
Neutron-induced reaction cross sections are important for a wide variety of research fields ranging from the study of nuclear level densities, nucleosynthesis to applications of nuclear technology like design, and criticality and safety assessment of existing and future nuclear reactors, radiation dosimetry, medical applications, nuclear waste transmutation, accelerator-driven systems and fuel cycle investigations. Simulations and calculations of nuclear technology applications largely rely on evaluated nuclear data libraries. The evaluations in these libraries are based both on experimental data and theoretical models. CERN’s neutron time-of-flight facility n TOF has produced a considerabl…
Structural Health Monitoring of Cracked Beam by the Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Method
2012
In this paper a 2D boundary element model is used to characterize the transient response of a piezoelectric based structural health monitoring system for cracked beam. The BE model is written for piezoelectric non-homogeneous problem employing generalized displacements. The dual reciprocity method is used to write the mass matrix in terms of boundary parameters only. The multidomain boundary element technique is implemented to model non-homogeneous and cracked configuration, unilateral interface conditions are also considered to prevent the physical inconsistence of the overlapping between interface nodes belonging to the crack surfaces. To assess the reliability and the effectiveness of th…
On the dynamic behavior of piezoelectric active repair by the boundary element method
2011
The dynamic behavior of piezoelectric active repair bonded on cracked structures is analyzed in this article. The boundary element code used to perform the simulations is implemented in the framework of piezoelectricity in order to model the coupling between the elastic and the electric fields, which represents the most important feature of piezoelectric media. The fracture mechanics problem, i.e. the crack, as well as the bonding layer between the host structure and the active patch is modeled by means of the multidomain technique provided with an interface spring model. More particularly, the spring interface model allows considering the bonding layer as a zero-thickness elastic ply char…
Characterisation of electric alloys for electric drives
1996
Knowledge of the magnetic and loss charactenstics of electric alloys is necessary for the computation and design of electrical machines. Over a long period of time, and more recently, many devices have been proposed for this characterisation. They test ferromagnetic sheets under conditions of unidirectional magnetic flux density. Other methods are derived from some of these devices, but they use conditions of rotating flux density. In the paper the authors show with the use of numerical computation that, in all these testing systems, the distribution of the magnetic flux density through the thickness of the sheet is uniform and does not take into account the edge effect which exists in rota…
Isospin mixing and in-beam study of non-yrast states in Co-56
2018
En el presente trabajo hemos estudiado la reacción de fusión-evaporación 56Fe(p,n gamma)56Co con un haz incidente de protones de 10 MeV en el Maier-Leibnitz-Laboratory (MLL) de la Technische Universität München (TUM, Alemania). Los rayos gamma emitidos en la desexcitación del núcleo impar-impar 56Co fueron medidos "in-beam" con cuatro detectores triples de germanio de alta resolución MINIBALL. El experimento proveyó excelentes datos en las coincidencias gamma-gamma. Un total de 223 transiciones gamma han sido observadas y colocadas en el esquema de niveles del 56Co, de las cuales 169 son gammas observadas por primera vez. Un total de 77 estados excitados han sido observador: 37 de ellos era…

Slow relaxation of the magnetization in Oximato-bridged heterobimetallic Copper(II)-Manganese(III) chains
2011
The use of the oximato-containing copper(II) complexes, [Cu(Hdeg)2] (H2deg = diethylglyoxime), [Cu(Hmeg)2] (H2meg = methylethylglyoxime) and [Cu(Hdmg)2] (H2dmg = dimethylglyoxime), as ligands toward manganese(II) acetate in methanol afforded the heterobimetallic compounds of formula [MnCu(deg)2(CH3COO)(H2O)2] (1), [MnCu(meg)2(CH3COO)(H2O)2] (2) and [MnCu(dmg)2(CH3COO)(H2O)2] (3) where the starting manganese(II) ion was oxidized to manganese(III) by air. In the lack of single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray absorption techniques (EXAFS and XANES) at 40 K were used for the structural characterization of 1-3. The analysis of the X-ray absorption data reveals that 1-3 ar…
