Magnetic properties of (Ce1−xLax)PdIn2

We report on results of X-ray powder diffraction, magnetization and specific heat measurements of the pseudo-ternary (Ce_1−xLa_x)PdIn₂ system with x=0; 0.2; 0.4 and 0.6. The results show a linear increase of the unit cell volume and a reduction of the ferromagnetic transition as La content increases. The Debye temperature, Sommerfeld coefficient and crystal field parameters were estimated from specific heat data, and are found to be weakly dependent of the Ce concentration. Also, the variation of magnetic entropy at T_C is only weakly dependent on x (ΔS≅0.92Rln2) indicating that T_K/T_C is approximately constant along the series. The T_C and T_K behaviors are explained by the variation of the exchange parameter due to the volume change when Ce is replaced by La. Our results indicate that the chemical pressure is the dominant effect rather than the chemical disorder for determining the physical proprieties of the (Ce_1−xLa_x)PdIn₂ system.     

The magnetic behaviour of the magnetically diluted spinel compound Fe0.6Mg1.6Ni0.1Ti0.7O4 studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy

From a new magnetically diluted spinel oxide with composition Fe_0.6Mg_1.6Ni_0.1Ti_0.7O₄ an as-prepared sample and one after reheating three times have been investigated with Mössbauer spectroscopy. The spectra of the as-prepared sample clearly show a typical superparamagnetic behaviour of magnetic clusters with diverging sizes. On the other hand, the reheated sample exhibits a sharp magnetic transition at 16 K. External-field Mössbauer measurements of the latter reveal spin canting to be exclusively present on the octahedral sites which disappears at the magnetic transition temperature. These results show that this spinel compound exhibits a transition to a spin-glass for which the random freezing only occurs on the octahedral sites.     

Groove-type channel enhancement-mode Al GaN/GaN MIS HEMT with combined polar and nonpolar AlGaN/GaN heterostructures

A novel groove-type channel enhancement-mode AlGaN/GaN MIS high electron mobility transistor(GTCE-HEMT)with a combined polar and nonpolar AlGaN/GaN heterostucture is presented. The device simulation shows a threshold voltage of 1.24 V, peak transconductance of 182 m S/mm, and subthreshold slope of 85 m V/dec, which are obtained by adjusting the device parameters. Interestingly, it is possible to control the threshold voltage accurately without precisely controlling the etching depth in fabrication by adopting this structure. Besides, the breakdown voltage(VB) is significantly increased by 78% in comparison with the value of the conventional MIS-HEMT. Moreover, the fabrication process of the novel device is entirely compatible with that of the conventional depletion-mode(D-mode) polar AlGaN/GaN HEMT. It presents a promising way to realize the switch application and the E/D-mode logic circuits.     

Closure, stability and iterated line graphs with a 2-factor

We consider 2-factors with a bounded number of components in the n-times iterated line graph Lⁿ(G). We first give a characterization of graph G such that Lⁿ(G) has a 2-factor containing at most k components, based on the existence of a certain type of subgraph in G. This generalizes the main result of [L. Xiong, Z. Liu, Hamiltonian iterated line graphs, Discrete Math. 256 (2002) 407-422]. We use this result to show that the minimum number of components of 2-factors in the iterated line graphs Lⁿ(G) is stable under the closure operation on a claw-free graph G. This extends results in [Z. Ryjá?ek, On a closure concept in claw-free graphs, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 70 (1997) 217-224; Z. Ryjá?ek, A. Saito, R.H. Schelp, Closure, 2-factors and cycle coverings in claw-free graphs, J. Graph Theory 32 (1999) 109-117; L. Xiong, Z. Ryjá?ek, H.J. Broersma, On stability of the hamiltonian index under contractions and closures, J. Graph Theory 49 (2005) 104-115].

PTS装置工作模式及波形调节

为了对即将建成的PTS装置的实验能力进行分析,对装置的工作模式及波形调节能力进行了分析。装置具有三种工作模式:短脉冲模式、长脉冲模式和波形调节模式。在不同的工作模式下,装置可以进行不同负载的实验研究。在基本工作模式下,在15 nH负载上输出前沿90 ns、幅值8~10 MA脉冲电流。通过电路模拟,对装置在三种工作模式下预计的负载电流输出进行了分析,短脉冲模式下装置负载电流的上升时间约90 ns,长脉冲模式时约200 ns,波形调节模式时可以达到400 ns。模拟结果表明,通过调节激光触发气体开关的触发方式和脉冲输出开关及装置其他参数,PTS装置可以输出脉冲前沿100~400 ns、波形形状在一定范围可调的强电流脉冲。     

逻辑函数高阶布尔e偏导数求解算法的实现

针对已有方法在求解布尔e偏导数时只能解决小规模电路的问题,提出了一种基于逻辑函数不相交运算的大函数高阶布尔e偏导数的求解算法.该方法将逻辑函数转化为不相交乘积项的集合,用逻辑函数的不相交运算替代布尔e导数运算中的逻辑“与”运算;并将不包含待求导变量的乘积项拆分出来,不参与布尔e导数运算,以达到降低算法复杂度、提高算法速度的目的.提出的算法用C语言编程实现,并用MCNC测试电路进行了测试.实验结果显示,本算法能快速实现大函数高阶布尔e偏导数的求解,求解效率与参与不相交运算的乘积项数量有关,但对输入变量的数量不敏感.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of a novel dimolybdenum(I) compound with mixed‐tribridging ligands: [Bu4N][Mo2(μ‐SPh)2(μ‐Cl(CO6]

A novel mixed‐tribridged dimolybdenum(I) compound [Bn₄N][Mo₂(μ‐SPh)₂(μ‐Cl)(CO)₆] (1) has been synthesized from the reaction of Mo₂(CO)₃(SPh)₂ with BU₄NCl. Compound 1 was characterized by IR, UV‐Vis and ¹H, ¹³C, ⁹⁵Mo NMR spectroscopic analyses. The electrochemical behavior was measured by cyclic voltammetry, indicating a quasi‐reversible two‐electron transfer in one step. The crystal structure determined by X‐ray crystallography shows that 1 contains a [Mo₂(μ‐S)₂(μ‐Cl)]^? core with a planar Mo₂S₂unit and a Cl bridge. The Mo? Mo distance is 0.28709(7) nm, and the Mo‐Cl‐Mo angle is 66.44(4)°. A newface‐sharing bioctahedral structure is discussed.     

interaction of nitro compounds with radicals: a quantum chemical study

Photoreduction of nitro compounds is accompanied by formation of various radical products that can react with the starting nitro compound, thus causing deviation of the decomposition kinetics from the first-order kinetics with respect to the nitro compound. The results of quantum chemical modeling of the reactions of nitro compounds with radicals and the pathways of further transformations of radical adducts formed in the reactions are presented.

Ferromagnetic exchange coupling in phosphonato-bridged dinuclear copper(II) compound with monoethyl (pyridyn-2-ylmethyl)phosphonate ligand (2-mpmpe): Cu2(2-mpmpe)2(H2O)2(NO3)2

The interaction of diethyl (pyridyn-2-ylmethyl)phosphonate (2-pmpe) with Cu(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O leads to a partial hydrolysis of the starting ligand and formation of the compound of the formula Cu₂(2-mpmpe)₂(H₂O)₂(NO₃)₂, where 2-mpmpe = monoethyl (pyridyn-2-ylmethyl)phosphonate. The crystal and molecular structure of a copper(II) compound was determined by single X-ray diffraction method. Its structure consists of five-coordinated in distorted square planar geometry (CuNO₄ chromophore) copper(II) ions doubly bridged by OPO from phosphonate. The Cu?Cu distance is 4.69 Å. The crystal packing is determined by the interdinuclear hydrogen bond system, which leads to a three-dimensional (3D) H-bonds network. The compound was characterized by infrared, ligand field, EPR spectroscopy, and magnetic studies. The magnetic properties of the title compound investigated over the 1.8–300 K, revealed the occurrence of a weak ferromagnetic coupling through phosphonate bridge (J = 1.86 cm⁻¹) and interdimer superexchange coupling through H-bond network (zJ′ = −0.17 cm⁻¹). Spectroscopic and magnetic properties are presented in the light of crystal structure.
