Is Martha Nussbaum really political liberal?
2008
This paper puts under scrutiny Martha Nussbaum’s turn to political liberalism. Unlike Rawls, she seems to assume that overlapping consensus works even within societies without democratic constitutions. Though, this sort of consensus is doomed to be unstable, since there is not a previous constitutional consensus, as Rawls requires. Unlike Rawls’ constructivist theory, her conception of political liberalism is more akin to forms of moral objectivism. Moreover, her allegation of gender discrimination towards institutions that let only men run for certain jobs (such as presidency of certain catholic universities) is based on a clear cut distinction between public and private sphere. However, “…
Mössbauer thermal scan study of a spin crossover system
2010
Programmable Velocity equipment was used to perform a Mössbauer Thermal Scans to allow a quasi-continuous temperature study of the magnetic transition between the low-spin and a high-spin configurations in [Fe(Htrz)2(trz)](BF4) system. The material was studied both in bulk as in nanoparticles sample forms.
57Fe,61Ni, and121Sb M�ssbauer study of oxidic spinel ferrites CoxNi5/3?xFeSb1/3O4
1987
Antimony substituted nickel ferrites Co x Ni5/3−xFeSb1/3O4 withx=0,1/3,1,4/3, and 5/3 were prepared by the common ceramic technique, and the single-phase structure was confirmed by x-ray powder diffraction.57Fe Mossbauer spectra were recorded at 4.2 K with and without an applied magnetic fieldHlong=60 kOe in order to determine the cation distribution and the spin structure. Utilizing the cation distributions and the Yafet-Kittel spin structures for B-site Fe3+ ions, derived from Mossbauer experiments the calculated magnetic moments are in excellent agreement with the experimental values at 4.2 K. The existence of Ni2+ ions in crystallographic A-sites was confirmed by61Ni Mossbauer spectrosc…
Conversion-electron M�ssbauer spectroscopy using 121Sb and a study of powdered ?-Sb2O3
1994
It is shown that 121Sb Conversion-Electron Mossbauer Spectroscopy (CEMS) is possible even at room temperature. The parameters and peculiarities of 121Sb CEMS are summarized. An application to powdered Sb(III) oxide shows that the material on the surface of the grains is not oxidized to Sb(V) but has changed its crystal symmetry, while the bulk of the grains still exhibits the initial cubic-crystal phase.
Si29Hyperfine Structure of theE′αCenter in Amorphous Silicon Dioxide
2006
We report a study by electron paramagnetic resonance on the $E^{\ensuremath{'}}{}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ point defect in amorphous silicon dioxide ($a\mathrm{\text{\ensuremath{-}}}{\mathrm{SiO}}_{2}$). Our experiments were performed on $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray irradiated oxygen-deficient materials and pointed out that the $^{29}\mathrm{Si}$ hyperfine structure of the $E^{\ensuremath{'}}{}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ consists of a pair of lines split by $\ensuremath{\sim}49\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{mT}$. On the basis of the experimental results, a microscopic model is proposed for the $E^{\ensuremath{'}}{}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ center, consisting of a hole trapped in an oxygen vacancy with the un…
Switching Reciprocity On and Off in a Magneto-Optical X-Ray Scattering Experiment Using Nuclear Resonance ofα−Fe57Foils
2012
Reciprocity is when the scattering amplitude of wave propagation satisfies a symmetry property, connecting a scattering process with an appropriate reversed one. We report on an experiment using nuclear resonance scattering of synchrotron radiation, which demonstrates that magneto-optical materials do not necessarily violate reciprocity. The setting enables us to switch easily between reciprocity and its violation. In the latter case, the exhibited reciprocity violation is orders of magnitude larger than achieved by previous wave scattering experiments.
A common optical algorithm for the evaluation of specular spin polarized neutron and Mössbauer reflectivities
2001
Using the general approach of Lax for multiple scattering of waves a 2x2 covariant expression for the reflectivity of polarized slow neutrons of a magnetic layer structure of arbitrary complexity is given including polarization effects of the external magnetic field. The present formalism is identical to the earlier published one for the (nuclear) resonant X-ray (Mossbauer) reflectivity and properly takes the effect of the external magnetic field of arbitrary direction on the neutron beam into account. The form of the reflectivity matrix allows for an efficient numerical calculation.
Problems of electron detection in Depth-Selective Conversion Electron Mössbauer Spectroscopy
1992
Applications of Depth-Selective Conversion Electron Mossbauer Spectroscopy (DCEMS) are limited by the long measuring times needed for collecting sufficient data statistics. To shorten the recording time, the background should be reduced and the detection efficiency for conversion electrons should be improved. For57Co/57Fe DCEMS, systematic studies were performed to investigate the origin, shape, and structure of the background components in DCEMS data distributions for various samples using channeltrons and low-noise scintillation counters as electron detectors.
A time-differential Mössbauer emission spectrometer with high efficiency and high time resolution
1986
A high-efficiency, high rate-capability, computer-based measuring setup for Time-Differential Mossbauer Spectroscopy was constructed. Applying NaI(Tl) and plastic scintillators for the detection of the 14.4 keV and 122 keV γ-radiation respectively, a superior timing (2, 3 ns FWHM) was achieved by a “fast-fast-ultra fast” timing method developed for that purpose.
Magnetic hyperfine anomaly in muonic193Ir
1977
The nuclear decay of the 5/2+ 139 keV state to the 3/2+ ground state was observed in muonic193Ir. The hyperfine splitting of the 3/2+ state and 5/2+ state was determined to be 640±100 eV and 1280±160 eV, respectively. The ground state splitting is about twice that of a point nucleus, an anomaly never observed this large. This is mainly due to the different radial distribution of spin and orbital magnetization of a d3/2 proton configuration for which these contributions nearly cancel to zero in the magnetic moment. But calculations including configuration mixing and coupling to a vibrating or a deformed core show deviations. The groundstate anomaly is in line with that observed by the Mossba…
