Ferromagnetic resonance studies on (Co40Fe40B20)x(SiO2)1−x granular magnetic films

Magnetic properties of granular (Co₄₀Fe₄₀B₂₀)_x(SiO₂)_1−x   thin films (x=0.37-0.53$x=0.37-0.53$) have been studied by ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) technique. Samples have been prepared by ion-beam deposition of Co–Fe–B particles and SiO₂ on sitall ceramic substrate. The FMR measurements have been done for different orientations of DC magnetic field with respect to the sample plane. It was found that the deduced value of effective magnetization from FMR data of the thin granular film is reduced by the volume-filling factor of the bulk saturation magnetization. The overall magnetization changes from 152 to 515 G depending on the ratio of the magnetic nanoparticles in the SiO₂ matrix. From angular measurements an induced in-plane uniaxial anisotropy has been obtained due to the preparation of the film conditions as well.     

Temperature-Dependent Electron Transport in In0.5Ga0.5 P/GaAs Grown by MOVPE

Hall effect measurements in undoped In0.5Ga0.5 P/GaAs allo grown by metal organic vapour-phase epitaxy （MOVPE） have been carried out in the temperat.ure range 15-350K. The experimenta.1 results are analysed using a two-band model including conduction band transport calculated using an iterative solution of the Boltz- mann equation. A good agreement was obtained between theory and experiment. The impurity contents of In0.5Ga0.5 P/GaAs alloy, such as donor density ND, acceptor density NA and donor activation energy εD, were also determined.     

Theoretical and experimental investigation of fluid rheology effects on modulated ultrasound propagation

A mathematical model is developed and presented to capture the effect of viscoelastic nature of a material on modulated ultrasound (US) pulses. The model is established by considering perturbation of material elements subject to modulated US pulses and by introducing the exponential relaxation of the perturbed fluid elements with a spectrum of time constants. Both the model and experimental findings revealed that consecutive perturbation of a material via the modulated US pulses enabled to probe the relaxation times of similar order of magnitudes to the frequency of the US modulation while filtering out the impact of other relaxation times on the US measurement. The US experimental results were verified by those of a conventional rheometer. Hence carrying out measurements at different US modulation frequencies in the Hz ranges seems to allow one to obtain the relaxation time spectrum of the investigated material in the time scales of milliseconds to seconds.     

Magnetization of Gd diffused YBa2Cu3O7-x superconductor：Experiment and theory

The magnetization of Gd diffused YBa2Cu3O7-x is measured by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) at selected temperatures (5, 25, 50, 77 K). The experimental results for the magnetization are analyzed in the critical state framework involving Kim-Anderson field dependence Jc(H)=Jc0/(1+|H|/H0)n of critical current density and equilibrium magnetization M eq . It is found that the inclusion of the equilibrium magnetization becomes more important at higher temperatures. At 77 K, the shape of the isothermal M-H hysteresis curve is governed by the equilibrium magnetization. Some superconducting parameters are determined by fitting the calculated curves to the experimental data.     

Efficient Intersystem Crossing in the Tröger's Base Derived From 4-Amino-1,8-naphthalimide and Application as a Potent Photodynamic Therapy Reagent

Intersystem crossing (ISC) was observed for naphthalimide (NI)-derived Tröger's base, and the ISC was confirmed to occur by a spin-orbital charge-transfer (SOCT) mechanism. Conventional electron donor/acceptor dyads showing SOCT-ISC have semirigid linkers. In contrast, the linker between the two chromophores in Tröger's base is rigid and torsion is completely inhibited, which is beneficial for efficient SOCT-ISC. Femtosecond transient absorption (TA) spectra demonstrated charge-separation and charge-recombination-induced ISC processes. Nanosecond TA spectroscopy confirmed the ISC, and the triplet state is long-lived (46 μs, room temperature). The ISC quantum yield is dependent on solvent polarity (8–41 %). The triplet state was studied by pulsed-laser-excited time-resolved EPR spectroscopy, and both the NI-localized triplet state and triplet charge-transfer state were observed, which is in good agreement with the spin-density analysis. The Tröger's base was confirmed to be a potent photodynamic therapy reagent with HeLa cells (EC₅₀=5.0 nm ).     

Carbazole derivative synthesis and their electropolymerization

This review article investigates the hot topics by presenting the latest advances in carbazole and its derivative synthesis and their electropolymerization processes. The carbazole-based compounds are particularly attractive due to their important photochemical and thermal stability and good hole-transport ability. Conjugated monomers of carbazole derivatives and their polymers attract interest due to their suitability in a broad range of applications, such as biosensors, corrosion inhibition, photovoltaics, electroluminescent devices, field-effect transistors and supercapacitors, etc. This review article divides two main parts. One of them includes effects of electropolymerization parameters of carbazole and chemical polymerization of carbazole derivatives. In addition, copolymers and composites of carbazole derivatives were presented in the first part. In the second part, the application of polycarbazole and its derivatives was examined as biosensors, corrosion inhibition, supercapacitor, battery, fuel cell, solar cell, electropolymerization, light emitting diodes, and OLEDs.     

High-Frequency Magnetoresonance and Magnetoimpedance in Co/Cu Multilayers with Variable Interlayer Thickness

The paper is devoted to the investigation of high frequency magnetic features of multilayered metallic structures (Co/Cu) demonstrating the Giant Magnetic Resistance effect (GMR-effect) and Giant Magnetic Impedance effect (GMI-effect). Dynamic features have been investigated in dependence on the distance between magnetic Co-layers and analyzed in comparison with static magnetic features. Ferromagnetic resonance response as well as non-resonance magnetoimpedance at small applied static magnetic field have been studied. Experiments were carried out at room temperatures in frequency band 20-37GHz for the ferromagnetic resonance technique and in frequency band 30-140GHz for study the low field non-resonance magnetoimpedance effects.
