Study of magnetoresistance and conductance of bicrystal grain boundary in La0.67Ba0.33MnO3 thin film

La_0.67Ba_0.33MnO₃ (LBMO) thin film is deposited on a 36.7°C SrTiO₃ bicrystal substrate using laser ablation technique. A microbridge is created across bicrystal grain boundary and its characteristics are compared with a microbridge on the LBMO film having no grain boundary. Presence of grain boundary exhibits substantial magnetoresistance ratio (MRR) in the low field and low temperature region. Bicrystal grain boundary contribution in MRR disappears at temperature T>175 K. At low temperature, I-V characteristic of the microbridge across bicrystal grain boundary is nonlinear. Analysis of temperature dependence of dynamic conductance-voltage characteristics of the bicrystal grain boundary indicates that at low temperatures (T<175 K) carrier transport across the grain boundary in LBMO film is dominated by inelastic tunneling via pairs of manganese atoms and tunneling through disordered oxides. At higher temperatures (T>175 K), magnetic scattering process is dominating. Decrease of bicrystal grain boundary contribution in magnetoresistance with the increase in temperature is due to enhanced spin-flip scattering process.     

Isolation and characterization of a newly identified type II restriction endonuclease from a local streptomyces sp. in Taiwan

Streptomyces chusanensis ZS-2, isolated from a soil sample in Chusan in Taiwan, was found to produce a new Type II restriction endonuclease. This restriction enzyme was designated as SchI. The purified enzyme was characterized as having a subunit mol wt of 28 kDa, and was apparently free from exonuclease activities. It cleaves the phosphodiester bond between the fourth C and the fifth G on the 5’-CCGCGG-3’ sequence of DNAs, leaving a 2-nucleotide protruding end at its 3’ site. This data suggests that SchI is an isoschizomer of SacII. In addition, based on the comparison between SchI and SacII regarding reaction parameters, it seems that SchI is a better choice of restriction enzyme for genetic analysis and mapping.

Low-power data-dependent 8/spl times/8 DCT/IDCT for video compression

Traditional fast discrete cosine transform (DCT)/inverse DCT (IDCT) algorithms have focused on reducing arithmetic complexity and have fixed run-time complexities regardless of the input. Recently, data-dependent signal processing has been applied to the DCT/IDCT. These algorithms have variable run-time complexities. A two-dimensional 8/spl times/8 low-power DCT/IDCT design is implemented using VHDL by applying the data-dependent signal processing concept onto the traditional fixed-complexity fast DCT/IDCT algorithm. To reduce power, the design is based on Loeffler's fast algorithm, which uses a low number of multiplications. On top of that, zero bypassing, data segmentation, input truncation and hardwired canonical sign-digit (CSD) multipliers are used to reduce the run-time computation, hence reducing the switching activities and the power. When synthesised using CMC 0.18 /spl mu/m 1.6 V CMOSP technology, the proposed FDCT/IDCT design consumes 8.94/9.54 mW, respectively, with a clock frequency of 40 MHz and a processing rate of 320 Msample/s. This design features lower dynamic power consumption per sample, i.e. it is more power-efficient than other previously reported high-performance FDCT/IDCT designs.     

The role of substitution-induced micro-structural defects on the redox behavior and catalytic activity of LaxTh1−x(VO3−δ)4 mixed oxide catalysts

The catalytic properties and reduction behavior of mixed metal oxides with nominal compositions of La_xTh_1−x(VO_3−δ)₄, where 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0, have been investigated as a function of the value of x. These compositions were synthesized by ceramic route and characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and temperature-programmed reduction/oxidation/desorption techniques. The substituted samples were comprised of two distinct phases, one corresponding to tetragonal thorium metavanadate with partial substitution at A-sites, i.e. La_xTh_1−x(VO_3−δ)₄, and the other a new phase identified as LaV₄O_11+δ. Both these phases exhibited considerable oxygen non-stoichiometry, depending upon the extent of substitution. Nevertheless, no significant change was observed in their respective crystal symmetry. Further, the substituted samples showed more reproducible redox behavior and also an improved catalytic activity for CO oxidation reaction. A definite correlation is found to exist between the micro-structural defects generated in the above-mentioned two phases because of the oxygen ion vacancies, resultant enhancement in thermal diffusitivity of lattice oxygen, and finally the catalytic activity of the substituted mixed oxides. It is envisaged that a kind of synergism between the micro-structural defects existing in the two inter-grown phases generated simultaneously during the synthesis may control the catalytic properties of composite metal oxide systems.     

Superconductivity and possible overdoping in Lu1−x Ca x Ba2Cu3O7−δ

Structural and superconducting properties of the system Lu_1?x Ca _x Ba₂ Cu₃O_7?δ, both in bulk as well as thin film form, have been investigated. Presence of large Ca-ions at the Lu-sites is responsible for phase stability (in 1–2–3 phase) in bulk. In argon annealed tetragonal samples (δ:1) superconductivity is reinstated as in these samples, presence of Ca-ions lead to the generation of holes in the Cu?O planes. In oxygen annealed bulk samples and thin films, there is a large depression ofT _c due to divalent Ca-ions present in concentrationx<0.2. Our data indicate that this depression ofT _c is likely due to overdoping effect.
