Gap-mediated magnetization of a pseudo-one-dimensional system with a spin-orbit interaction

We argue that a pseudo-one-dimensional electron gas is magnetized when a voltage bias is applied with the Fermi level tuned to be in the energy gap generated by a spin-orbit interaction. The magnetization is an indication of spin-carrying currents due to the spin-orbit interaction. The origin of the magnetization, however, is essentially different from the “spin accumulation” in two-dimensional systems with spin-orbit interactions.     

Dielectric properties and substitution preference of yttrium doped barium zirconium titanate ceramics

The dielectric properties of Ba(Zr_0.25Ti_0.75)O₃+xY ₂O₃ ceramics are investigated. We believe that, integrating with the lattice parameters, there is an alternation of substitution preference of yttrium ions for the host cations in perovskite lattice that is responsible for the Curie point. The T_c rises with the increase of Y ³⁺ doping when the doping content is less than 0.05 at%, owing to the replacement of Y ³⁺ ions for Ba²⁺ ions at the A-site; when the Y ³⁺ content is more than 0.05 at%, Y ³⁺ ions tend to occupy the B-site in perovskite lattice, causing a drop of T_c. Owing to the modifications of Y ³⁺ doping, the loss tangent of BZT ceramics is depressed remarkably, making it a superior candidate to replace widely used lead-contained ceramics.     

Synthesis and magnetic properties of Mn doped ZnO nanowires

Mn doped ZnO nanowires have been synthesized using a simple autocombustion method. The as-synthesized Mn doped ZnO nanowires were characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. An increase in the hexagonal lattice parameters of ZnO is observed on increasing the Mn concentration. Optical absorption studies show an increment in the band gap with increasing Mn content, and also give evidence for the presence of Mn²⁺ ions in tetrahedral sites. All Zn_1−xMn_xO (0≤x≤0.25) samples are paramagnetic at room temperature. However, a large increase in the magnetization is observed below 50 K. This behavior, along with the negative value of the Weiss constant obtained from the linear fit to the susceptibility data below room temperature, indicate ferrimagnetic behavior. The origin of ferrimagnetism is likely to be either the intrinsic characteristics of the Mn doped samples, or due to some spinel-type impurity phases present in the samples that could not be detected.     

Pseudo spin-valves with Al or Nb as spacer layer: GMR and search for spin switch behaviour

The magnetoresistance of several Ferromagnet/Normal metal/Ferromagnet spin-valve type structures has been investigated using Al as normal spacer layer. A magnetoresistance ratio up to 4.1% at room temperature and 5.7% at 0.3 K is found for the sandwich with both Co layers, while slightly lower signals are found for the structures involving CoFe and NiFe layers. The magnetoresistance dependence for Co/Al/Co, Co/Al/CoFe and Co/Al/NiFe on the spacer layer thickness exhibits the familiar non monotonic behaviour with second peak slightly larger than the one reported for Cu based pseudo spin valves. At cryogenic temperatures, preliminary results on the onset of spin switch effects in Co/Al/Co and the full spin switch effect in Co/Nb/Co are also reported here.     

Effect of shear on an onion texture

Lamellar systems are self-assemblies of surfactant molecules forming planar bilayers separated by layers of solvent. At sufficiently high shear rates, they are known to form spherical objects often referred to as onions. In this paper, we are concerned with the effect of shear on those multi-lamellar vesicles. We measure solvent diffusion by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) using a method which is sensitive to the time dependence of mean-squared displacements. This method, combined with NMR velocimetry, allows us to infer onion structure as a function of shear rate, identifying different regimes in which local viscosity is related to the onion size. The role of slip is examined and the stress dependence of wall slip velocities is determined.

Vibrational analysis of 4-amino pyrazolo (3,4-d) pyrimidine A joint FTIR, Laser Raman and scaled quantum mechanical studies

The FTIR and Laser Raman spectra of 4-amino pyrazolo (3,4-d) pyrimidine have been measured in the regions 4000–400 cm⁻¹ and 3500–100 cm⁻¹, respectively. Utilizing the observed FTIR and Laser Raman data, a complete vibrational assignment and analysis of the fundamental modes of the title compound were carried out. The vibrational frequency which were determined experimentally are compared with those theoretically from force field calculation based on ab initio HF/6−311+G**(d,p) and standard B3LYP/6−311+G**(d,p) methods and basis set combinations for optimized geometries. The observed FTIR and Laser Raman vibrational frequencies were analysed and compared with the theoretically predicted vibrational frequencies. The assignments of bands to various normal modes of the molecules were also carried out. A detailed interpretation of the infrared and Raman spectra of 4-amino pyrazolo (3,4-d) pyrimidine [4AP(3,4-D)P] is also reported based on total energy distribution (TED). The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies shows that charge transfer occur within the molecule. The theoretical FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra for the title molecule have also been constructed.
