Magnetic phases of a highly frustrated magnet, ZnCr2O4, up to an ultrahigh magnetic field of 600 T

The Faraday rotation and magneto-optical absorption spectral measurements were conducted to reveal the full-magnetization process and map out a magnetic phase diagram of a typical geometrical frustrated magnet, ZnCr(2)O(4), by using the electro-magnetic flux compression method in ultrahigh magnetic fields up to 600 T. A fully polarized ferromagnetic phase is observed in which the absorption spectra associated with an exciton-magnon-phonon transition disappears. Furthermore, prior to the fully polarized ferromagnetic phase above 410 T, we found a novel magnetic phase above 350 T at 4.6 K followed by a canted 3∶1 phase.     

A novel method for elimination of the gold-islands formed in the self-assembled monolayers of benzeneselenol on Au(1 1 1) surface

Molecular ordering of benzeneselenol (BSe) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(1 1 1) substrates have been investigated by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) [1]. After short immersion time (10 min), elevated islands with height of 2.4 Å were found to cover the entire gold surface. On and among the islands, the STM results exhibited the formation of a highly ordered phase (α-phase) by BSe species. In the present study, a novel method is presented to completely eradicate the elevated gold-islands. The method depends on a repetitive STM scanning over the same part of the SAM at restricted tunnelling conditions. After almost 6 h of successive scanning, the surface becomes clean and free of the elevated islands. Moreover, this method was found to induce phase transformation into β-phase. The size of the ordered domains of the β-phase was found to exceed five times that of α-phase. Such a long-range ordering of the β-phase at room temperature has not been previously observed for any system on Au(1 1 1). After detailed analyses, the β-phase was found to have a 33.5% of lower packing density than that of α-phase.

Quantum phase transitions in the shastry-sutherland model for SrCu2(BO3)(2)

We investigate quantum phase transitions in the frustrated antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model for SrCu2(BO3)(2) by using the series expansion method. It is found that a novel spin-gap phase, adiabatically connected to the plaquette-singlet phase, exists between the dimer and the magnetically ordered phases known thus far. When the ratio of the competing exchange couplings alpha( = J'/J) is varied, this spin-gap phase exhibits a first- (second-) order quantum phase transition to the dimer (the magnetically ordered) phase at the critical point alpha(c1) = 0.677(2) [ alpha(c2) = 0. 86(1)]. Our results shed light on some controversial arguments about the nature of quantum phase transitions in this model.     

The effects of Na on high pressure phases of CuIn(0.5)Ga(0.5)Se(2) from ab initio calculation

The effects of Na atoms on high pressure structural phase transitions of CuIn(0.5)Ga(0.5)Se(2) (CIGS) were studied by an ab initio method using density functional theory. At ambient pressure, CIGS is known to have chalcopyrite (I42d) structure. The high pressure phase transitions of CIGS were proposed to be the same as the order in the CuInSe(2) phase transitions which are I42d → Fm3m → Cmcm structures. By using the mixture atoms method, the Na concentration in CIGS was studied at 0.1, 1.0 and 6.25%. The positive mixing enthalpy of Na at In/Ga sites (Na(InGa)) is higher than that of Na at Cu sites (Na(Cu)). It confirmed previous studies that Na preferably substitutes on the Cu sites more than the (In, Ga) sites. From the energy-volume curves, we found that the effect of the Na substitutes is to reduce the hardness of CIGS under high pressure. The most significant effects occur at 6.25% Na. We also found that the electronic density of states of CIGS near the valence band maximum is increased noticeably in the chalcopyrite phase. The band gap is close in the cubic and orthorhombic phases. Also, the Na(Cu)-Se bond length in the chalcopyrite phase is significantly reduced at 6.25% Na, compared with the pure Cu-Se bond length. Consequently, the energy band gap in this phase is wider than in pure CIGS, and the gap increased at the rate of 31 meV GPa(-1) under pressure. The Na has a small effect on the transition pressure. The path of transformation from the cubic to orthorhombic phase was derived. The Cu-Se plane in the cubic phase displaced relatively parallel to the (In, Ga)-Se plane by 18% in order to transform to the Cmcm phase. The enthalpy barrier is 0.020 eV/atom, which is equivalent to a thermal energy of 248 K. We predicted that Fm3m and Cmcm can coexist in some pressure range.     

First principles study of structural phase transition of YSb and ScSb compounds

High pressure induced phase transition of YSb and ScSb compounds have been studied using Density Functional Theory method within Generalized Gradient Approximation. It was found that the phase transition from the NaCl-type (B1) to a CsCl-type structure (B2) began to occur at around 29 GPa for YSb compound, agreeing well with available experiments and theoretical calculations. For ScSb compound it was suggested that structural phase transition from B1 to B2 will occur at about 40 GPa, differing greatly with experimental and theoretical results. The finding that the transition pressures increase with decreasing lattice constant in the NaCl-type structure for YSb and ScSb compounds was found to be similar to the phenomena observed for LnSb (Ln: lanthanide) compounds. Mulliken charge and overlap population analysis revealed that YSb and ScSb compounds in B1 structure show similar interaction between anion and cation, while in B2 structure a higher degree of covalency was found for ScSb than that in YSb. Also, DOS and band structure of these two compounds in B1 and B2 structures were presented and analyzed.     

Liquid Chromatography Coupled with Fluorimetric Detection and Third Derivative Synchronous Fluorescence Spectroscopy as two Analytical Methods for the Simultaneous Determination of Rabeprazole Sodium and Domperidone After Derivatization with 4-Chloro-7-Nitrobenzofurazan

Two simple, sensitive, rapid, economic and validated methods, namely reversed phase liquid chromatography (method Ι) and third derivative synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (method ΙΙ) have been developed for the simultaneous determination of rabeprazole sodium and domperidone in their laboratory prepared mixture after derivatization with 4-Chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan. Reversed phase chromatography was conducted using a Zorbax® SB-Phenyl column (250.0 mm × 4.6 mm id) combined with a guard column at ambient temperature with fluorimetric detection at 540 nm after excitation at 483 nm. A mobile phase composed of a mixture of distilled water with methanol and acetonitrile in a ratio of 50:20:30 adjusted pH to 4 has been used at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Sharp well resolved peaks were obtained for domperidone and rabeprazole sodium with retention times of 5.5 and 6.4 min respectively. While in method ΙΙ, the third-derivative spectra were estimated at 507 and 436 nm for rabeprazole sodium and domperidone respectively. Linearity ranges for rabeprazole sodium and domperidone respectively in both methods were found to be 0.15–2.0 and 0.1–1.5 μg/mL. The proposed methods were successfully applied for the analysis of the two compounds in their binary mixtures, and laboratory prepared tablets. The obtained results were favorably compared with those obtained by the comparison method. Furthermore, detailed validation procedure was also conducted.

Ab-initio study of phase transition and momentum density in PbTe

In this article, the high-pressure structural phase transition and electron momentum density in PbTe have been studied by means of first-principles total energy calculations which are based on the linear combination of atomic orbitals method within generalized gradient approximation. It is observed that the stable phase of PbTe is rocksalt (B1) type and it transforms to an orthorhombic Pnma (B27, FeB type) structure at 6.77?GPa. Further, structural phase transition from the Pnma phase to the cesium chloride (B2) phase has been observed at 13.04?GPa. The anisotropies in theoretical directional Compton profiles indicate larger occupied states along the [100] direction. On the basis of equal-valence-electron-density profiles, it is found that PbTe shows less ionicity as compared to PbS and PbSe.

Investigation of the effect of pressure on thermodynamic properties and thermoelastic phase transformation of CuAlNi alloys: A molecular dynamics study

Thermoelastic phase transformations and thermodynamic properties of CuAlNi alloys at 0, 1, 2 and 3 GPa pressures were investigated by using MD simulation in this study. The interactions between atoms were modelled by Sutton-Chen type of embedded atom method (SCEAM) that is based on many-body interaction. It was observed that thermoelastic phase transformation in the ternary alloy system occurred at the end of thermal process. Radial distribution function (RDF) was used in order to analysis the structures obtained from MD simulation using the simulation techniques’ thermodynamic parameters. The transformation temperatures, enthalpy and entropy of the ternary alloy system have been observed to be changing with the applied pressure. In addition, it was found that the elastic energy has been decreased about 22% by applied pressure whereas Gibbs free energy has been increased about 60% by applied pressure. The values of the thermodynamical parameters obtained in this study were observed to be in close agreement with the experimental study.

Identification of the pressure-induced phase transition of ZnSe with the positron annihilation method

This paper studies the pressure-induced phase transition between zincblende (B3) and NaCl (B1) structure ZnSe by using the hydrostatic pressure first-principles pseudopotential plane wave method. The energy-volume and enthalpy-pressure curves are employed to estimate the transition pressure. It is found that ZnSe undergoes a first-order phase transition from the B3 structure to the B1 structure at approximately 15 GPa derived from the energy-volume relation and 14 GPa based on deduction from enthalpy-pressure data. The pressure-related positron bulk lifetimes of the two ZnSe structures are calculated with the atomic superposition approximation method. In comparison with the 13.4% reduction in volume of ZnSe at the transition pressure, the positron bulk lifetime decreases more significantly and the relative value declines up to 22.3%. The results show that positron annihilation is an effective technique to identify and characterize the first-order phase transition and can give valuable information about changes in micro-scale, such as volume shrinkage and compressibility.     

Surface electromigration of metals on Si(001): In/Si(001)

The possibility of surface electromigration (SE) of metals of In, Ga, Sb and Ag on a very flat Si(001)2×1 substrate (single domain 2×1) was examined by SEM, μ-RHEED and μ-AES under UHV conditions. It was found that Ga, Sb and Ag show no SE on Si(001) surface even at DC annealing temperatures for the desorption of these metals. For In on Si(001), a very fast SE (8000 μm/min) towards the cathode side was found that suddenly sets in at 450°C DC annealing, which was related to a surface phase transition. μ-RHEED and μ-AES observation showed that the SE is related to an ordered 4×3-In phase together with two-dimensional In gas phase over the 4×3-In phase and an In-disordered phase at the front end of SE. Single domain 4×3-In phases were found to occur under sequences of In deposition and DC annealing which involve the In SE on Si(001).

A new high-pressure phase of ZnSe with B9-type structure

High-pressure and high-temperature behavior of ZnSe was investigated by energy dispersive X-ray diffraction method up to 14 GPa and 800°C. A new high-pressure phase with B9 (HgS)-type structure is found near the B3-B1 phase boundary at room temperature, as predicted by an ab-initio calculation.

At high-temperature condition above 300°C, only the direct transitions are observed between the B3 and B1 phases. The B3-B1 phase boundary is also determined to be P (GPa)=12.21−0.0039T (°C) for the temperature range between 300 and 800°C.
