Dynamic compensation temperatures in a mixed spin-1 and spin-3/2 Ising system under a time-dependent oscillating magnetic field

We study the existence of dynamic compensation temperatures in the mixed spin-1 and spin-3/2 Ising ferrimagnetic system Hamiltonian with bilinear and crystal-field interactions in the presence of a time-dependent oscillating external magnetic field on a hexagonal lattice. We employ the Glauber transitions rates to construct the mean-field dynamic equations. We investigate the time dependence of an average sublattice magnetizations, the thermal behavior of the dynamic sublattice magnetizations and the total magnetization. From these studies, we find the phases in the system, and characterize the nature (continuous or discontinuous) of transitions as well as obtain the dynamic phase transition (DPT) points and the dynamic compensation temperatures. We also present dynamic phase diagrams, including the compensation temperatures, in the five different planes. A comparison is made with the results of the available mixed spin Ising systems.     

A Simple and Sensitive Square Wave Stripping Pathway for the Analysis of Desmedipham Herbicide by Modified Carbon Paste Electrode Based on Hematite (α‐Fe2O3 Nanoparticles)

In the present study, desmedipham, used as an herbicide to control broad leaf weed in commonly sugar beet crops, was analyzed at the first time by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave stripping voltammetry (SWSV) with the modified carbon paste electrode based on hematite nanoparticles (α‐Fe₂O₃?CPE). The modified α‐Fe₂O₃?CPE prepared by hematite (α‐Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles), which is very sensitive to carbon paste electrode (CPE) and glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Morphology of electrode surface detailed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X‐ray analysis (EDX). The oxidation of desmedipham created irreversible well‐done two peaks at nearly +1.1 and +1.3 V. In order to obtain the best calibration graph, various important parameters such as pH, accumulation time, puls amplitude and frequency etc. were investigated. Under the optimum conditions, electrochemical behavior of desmedipham presented two linear working ranges at 0.15–1.20 mg/L and 1.20–4.50 mg/L. The limits of detection (LOD) for the desmedipham were calculated as 41.00 and 50.00 μg/L for the peak I and II, respectively. Furthermore, desmedipham was analyzed at high recovery in the presence of rizolex, fluometuron, teflubenzuron and some heavy metal ions. Consequently, the developed SWSV was successfully applied to evaluate desmedipham in spiked commercial strawberry juices at recoveries of 96.00–104.00 % with satisfactory relative standard deviations.     

The effects of the composition,temperature and geometry on the hysteretic properties of the Ising-type barcode nanowire

In the present study, a theoretical approach to investigate the magnetic hysteresisproperties in barcode nanowire are used and applied to study Ising system on hexagonalstructure. The hysteresis behaviors of Ising-type barcode nanowire (IBN) are studiedwithin the effective-field theory with correlations. The effects of the composition(p),temperature (T) and geometry (interlayer length (d), shell length(s), andwire length (r)) on the hysteresis behaviors are examined indetail. The phase diagrams are presented in the five different planes, namely(p,T),(d,r),(d, T), (r, T) and (s, T) as function of coercive field (H _C ) and remanence(M _r ), and investigatedsoft/hard the magnetic characteristics of the system. We find that the hysteresis loopsareas decrease case as the temperature, wire and lengths increase. Moreover, whenp increasesthe hysteresis loop areas increase. Moreover, H _C exhibits an increasein around d =1 value, then H _C does not change withthe increasing d values. Theoretical results have qualitativelycompatible with some experimental works of multilayer nanowire.     

Cu (II) Chemosensor Based on a Fluorogenic Bodipy-Salophen Combination: Sensitivity and Selectivity Studies

A new fluorescent chemosensor (Bodipy-S) derived from Bodipy and Salophen was developed. After the characterization of all compounds, the behavior of the chemosensor Bodipy-S toward p, d and f block-metal ions was investigated by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. This chemosensor can selectively detect to Cu (II) in methanol-aqueous solution based on chelation enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) and it almost exhibit to a fluorescence quenching effect with 20-fold. The binding constant of the fluorophore was interpreted by using of the Stern-Volmer method and the complex stoichiometry was defined by using Job’s plot. Moreover, the effect of pH was performed by the fluorescence intensities of Bodipy-S in presence of Cu(II) ions. The chemosensor can be successfully used to the detection of Cu(II) in most areas.     

Hexagonal Type Ising Nanowire with Spin-1 Core and Spin-2 Shell Structure

Thermodynamic properties and phase diagrams of a mixed spin-(1,2) Ising ferrimagnetic system with single ion anisotropy on hexagonal nanowire are studied by using effective-field theory with correlations. The susceptibility, internal energy and specific heat of the system are numerically examined and some interesting phenomena in these quantities are found. The effect of the Hamiltonian parameters on phase diagrams are examined in detail. Besides second-order phase transition, lines of first-order transition and tricritical points are found. In particular, we found that for some negative values of single-ion anisotropies, there exist first-order phase transitions.     

The thermal behaviors and phase diagrams of the Ising-type endohedral fullerene with magnetic core and diluted magnetic shell (Core@Shell<Subscript>20</Subscript>)

We have carried out theoretical studies on Ising-type endohedral fullerene (EF) structure with a dopant magnetic atom encaged within the diluted magnetic spherical cage to examine the evolution in magnetic behaviors. We show how the thermal behaviors and phase diagrams of Ising-type EF are affected by diluted surface, crystal field and exchange couplings. We have used to investigate theoretically the effect of Hamiltonian parameters the effective field calculations within Ising model framework. The model Hamiltonian includes nearest neighbor ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic center-surface (C-S) interaction as well as ferromagnetic surface interaction. We have shown that the system exhibits the first and second order phase transitions as well as tricritical point. In particular, the conditions for the occurrence of these reentrant and double reentrant behaviors are given explicitly.     

Synthetic routes to block copolymerization by changing mechanism from cationic polymerization to free radical polymerisation

Polymers containing thermolabile groups were synthesized by various cationic polymerization initiation mechanisms, namely; oxo–carbenium, promoted cationic and activated monomer polymerization. These polymers used in a subsequent blocking step in which azo groups were decomposed and converted into initiating centres from which blocks were grown by means of free radical polymerization. This procedure was applied to specific systems in which cationic polymerizable monomers are tetrahydrofuran (THF), cyclohexene oxide (CHO) and epichlorohydrin (ECH), respectively, and the free radical polymerizable monomer is styrene (St).     

Hybrid thermotropic liquid-crystalline block copolymers

A new approach to the preparation of two classes of block copolymers containing liquid-crystalline segments is reported. Copolymers 1 and 2 are constituted by polytetrahydrofuran and side-chain liquid-crystalline polymethacrylate blocks, whereas block copolymers 3 consist of polystyrene and main-chain liquid-crystalline polyester blocks. The synthetic procedures leading to copolymers 1-3 are extremely versatile and can be used to prepare a great variety of block copolymer architectures. In both copolymer classes the chemically different blocks are strongly segregated in the solid and melt phases and undergo individual phase transitions. The mesophase transition temperatures of the liquid-crystalline blocks are very similar to those of the corresponding homopolymers, and their enthalpies are directly proportional to the content of the liquid-crystalline block.
