Magnetic cluster developement in In1−x Mn x Sb semiconductor alloys

X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and magnetic measurements as a function of applied magnetic field and temperature for In_1?x Mn _x Sb (0.05≤x≤0.2) system are reported. Magnetic measurements performed at high and small magnetic field in ZFC and FC indicate the coexistence of ferromagnetic In_1?x Mn _x Sb solid solution and two types of magnetic cluster: ferromagnetic MnSb and ferrimagnetic Mn₂Sb. XPS valence band and Mn 2p core level spectra have confirmed the presence of MnSb and Mn₂Sb phases. TEM images show some manganese antimonide phase microinclusions with dimension between (30–40) nm.     

Positive-part moments via characteristic functions,and more general expressions

A unifying and generalizing approach to representations of the positive-part and absolute moments \({{\mathsf {E}}} X_+^p\) and \({{\mathsf {E}}}|X|^p\) of a random variable X for real p in terms of the characteristic function (c.f.) of X, as well as to related representations of the c.f. of \(X_+\), generalized moments \({{\mathsf {E}}} X_+^p e^{iuX}\), truncated moments, and the distribution function, is provided. Existing and new representations of these kinds are all shown to stem from a single basic representation. Computational aspects of these representations are addressed.     

Algebraic Theories of Brackets and Related (Co)Homologies

A general theory of the Frölicher–Nijenhuis and Schouten–Nijenhuis brackets in the category of modules over a commutative algebra is described. Some related structures and (co)homology invariants are discussed, as well as applications to geometry.     

In situ, time-resolved reflectance spectroscopy in the microsecond domain: oxidation of adsorbed carbon monoxide on polycrystalline pt microelectrodes in aqueous solutions

The dynamics of the electrooxidation of adsorbed CO, COads, on polycrystalline Pt microelectrodes has been examined in CO-saturated 0.5 M H2SO4 and 0.5 M HClO4 aqueous solutions, using in situ, time-resolved, normalized differential reflectance spectroscopy lambda = 633 nm). Attention was focused on the unique dependence of COads oxidation on the potential at which the adsorbed full CO monolayer is assembled (i.e., hydrogen adsorption/desorption vs the double-layer region) using both fast linear scan voltammetry and potential step techniques. As evidenced from the data collected, COads oxidation at a fixed potential proceeds at slower rates when the monolayer is formed in the double- layer region compared to when it is formed in the hydrogen adsorption/desorption region. Possible explanations for this effect are discussed.     

Beyond the Navier-Stokes equation: Including random thermal fluctuations

Dissipation and fluctuation is analyzed in discretized systems with external and internal heat bath. Discretized and continuum dissipation and fluctuation theorems are derived for both cases. It is shown that the continuum limit of the internal heat bath case leads to the Navier-Stokes equation.
