Entanglement of distant superconducting quantum interference device rings
2005
We consider two distant mesoscopic SQUID rings, approximated with two-level systems, interacting with two-mode microwaves. The Hamiltonian of the system is used to calculate its time evolution. The cases with microwaves which at t = 0 are in separable states (classically correlated) or entangled states (quantum mechanically correlated) are studied. It is shown that the Josephson currents in the two SQUID rings are also correlated.
A new approach to the crystal growth of Hg1−xMnxTe by the cold travelling heater method (CTHM)
2001
Abstract In order to obtain crystals with a homogeneous composition and to reduce the Hg high pressure related to the temperature synthesis reaction between the components in elemental form, Hg 1− x Mn x Te bulk crystals were produced by the cold travelling heater method (CTHM). Following the technique initially proposed for the growth of CdHgTe by the Triboulet group, the feed material was a split ingot of two segments, one of HgTe and the other of MnTe, with cross-sectional areas chosen to establish the desired final composition. The growth was carried out at a temperature of 600°C and a rate of 2 mm/h. The Hg 1− x Mn x Te crystals have been characterised by scanning electron microscopy, …
Critical temperature of the LIESST effect in iron(II) spin crossover compounds
1999
Abstract The light-induced crossover in a series of iron(II) compounds has been investigated by irradiating the sample at 10 K with a Kr + laser coupled to an optical fiber within a SQUID cavity. The temperature dependence of the molar fraction of the light-induced metastable HS state has been recorded for 22 compounds. The critical LIESST temperature, T c (LIESST), has been defined as the temperature for which the light-induced HS information was erased in the SQUID cavity. The dependence of T c (LIESST) as a function of the thermal spin crossover temperature, T 1/2 , has been discussed. The effect of cooperation has been analyzed and the influence of horizontal and vertical displacements …
The effect of Fe doping on superconductivity in ZrRuP
2011
Abstract This work reports the structure and superconducting properties of the superconductor ZrRuP doped with Fe; the ZrRu 1− x Fe x P solid solution was investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction, SQUID magnetometry and Mosbauer spectroscopy. It is shown that the modification of the superconducting properties by doping with Fe is similar to the effect of chemical pressure and that the Fe doped compounds do not show any magnetic ordering.
History dependence of the magnetization of thin HTSC films: an explanation for distorted SQUID signals
1997
Abstract The magnetizations of thin film disk-shaped type-II superconductors in perpendicular magnetic fields are considered by aid of Mikheenko's critical state model which has been corrected by Zhu for the case of a time-varying periodic field. This paper presents the application of this scheme to an arbitrary nonperiodic time dependence H ( t ). We calculate the influence of field inhomogeneities in a magnetometer on the current density distribution of a disk-shaped type-II superconductor. The resulting SQUID pickup signals and magnetic moments are compared to measurements performed on a 200 nm thick YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 film in the irreversible regime of the phase diagram. Theory and experime…
The Two‐Step Spin Conversion in a Supramolecular Triple Helicate Dinuclear Iron(II) Complex Studied by Mössbauer Spectroscopy
2006
The triple helicate dinuclear iron(II) complex, [Fe-2(L)(3)](ClO4)(4)center dot 2H(2)O (1), previously reported by Tuna et al. (Chem. Eur. J. 2004, 10, 5737), was prepared and characterised by detailed SQUID and Fe-57 Mbssbauer measurements. Compound 1 exhibits a thermochromic two-step spin conversion at T-SC((1)) ca. 240 K and T-SC((2)) ca. 120 K, but does not switch its spin state further below 20 K as proven by Mossbauer spectroscopy. The sharp variation of the susceptibility below 20 K is due to zero-field splitting of the remaining iron(II) high-spin species. Applied field Fe-57 Mossbauer spectroscopy experiments at 4.2 K indicate that the gradual thermal spin conversion from [HS-HS] p…
The shell matrix and microstructure of the Ram's Horn squid: Molecular and structural characterization.
2020
20 pages; International audience; Molluscs are one of the most diversified phyla among metazoans. Most of them produce an external calcified shell, resulting from the secretory activity of a specialized epithelium of the calcifying mantle. This biomineralization process is controlled by a set of extracellular macromolecules, the organic matrix. In spite of several studies, these components are mainly known for bivalves and gastropods. In the present study, we investigated the physical and biochemical properties of the internal planispiral shell of the Ram's Horn squid Spirula spirula. Scanning Electron Microscope investigations of the shell reveal a complex microstructural organization. The…
Characterizing a dc-SQUID and a Mo/TiW/Cu -trilayer transition-edge sensor array
2017
Tutkielmassa määritettiin uuden suprajohtavan kvantti-interferenssilaitteen ja 256 pikseliä sisältävän sirun transitioreunailmaisimien ominaisuuksia. Komponentit vaativat erittäin matalia lämpötiloja ja suojauksen suurilta magneettikentiltä muuttuakseen suprajohtaviksi. Tärkeimmät mitatut ominaisuudet olivat suprajohtavan kvantti-interferenssilaitteen signaalin vahvistuskerroin sekä kohina ja transitioreunailmaisimen transitiolämpötila, normaalitilan vastus, virta-jännite-käyttäytyminen, sekä kohina. Motivaationa tutkimukselle oli etsiä käytetyn mittalaite kokonaisuuden herkkyyden rajat sekä pyrkiä sovittamaan teoreettista mallia transitioreunailmaisimen kohinan ymmärtämiseksi. Korkean taaj…
Jahn–Teller effects in Au25(SR)18
2016
The relationship between oxidation state, structure, and magnetism in many molecules is well described by first-order Jahn–Teller distortions. This relationship is not yet well defined for ligated nanoclusters and nanoparticles, especially the nano-technologically relevant gold-thiolate protected metal clusters. Here we interrogate the relationships between structure, magnetism, and oxidation state for the three stable oxidation states, −1, 0 and +1 of the thiolate protected nanocluster Au25(SR)18. We present the single crystal X-ray structures of the previously undetermined charge state Au25(SR)18+1, as well as a higher quality single crystal structure of the neutral compound Au25(SR)180. …
