Complementary influence of electric and magnetic fields on the sample voltage oscillations ofP-type ultrapure germanium

We report on a previously not observed behaviour of oscillations of the voltage over a hyperpure germanium sample, when increasing the sample current from 0.05 to 13 A, for a number of transverse magnetic fields ranging from 697 to 1746 gauss. The sample temperature was 7.54 K±0.02 K. For each magnetic field the first observed peaks in the frequency spectrum of the sample voltage go to chaos by the period-doubling route and simultaneously shift to lower frequencies (first scenario). Superimposed upon this chaotic spectrum a new peak emerges, which again shifts to lower frequencies with increasing sample current (second scenario). A complementary effect of the sample current and the magnetic field is detected for four properties: firstly, the sudden onset of high resistance in the current versus voltage diagram, secondly, the transition between the two frequency scenarios described above, thirdly the presence of certain frequencies in the sample voltage spectra and fourthly the occurrence of an amplitude maximum for the principal frequency of the first scenario. It is shown that the first two transitions are interrelated.

Synthesis of New Iron-Containing Carbon Cages by Reaction of C60 Fullerene with Ferrocene

Reaction of C₆₀ fullerene with ferrocene in the presence of aluminum chloride and aluminum in an inert atmosphere gave ferrocenyl-substituted fullerene 2C₆₀ ·1.5(C₅H₅)₂Fe ·3H₂O. The product is a thermally stable iron-containing carbon cage in which the intersphere cavity is formed by three C₆₀ polyhedra and is closed by cyclopentadienyl ligands via formation of four carbon-carbon bonds.
