Anisotropic ferromagnetism induced in rutile single crystals by Co implantation

The magnetic and electrical properties of Co-implanted single crystalline TiO₂ rutile are presented. For fluences of the order of 10¹⁷ cm^-2 and implantation energy of 150 keV the maximum atomic concentration of cobalt is 13 at% at a depth of 65 nm from the surface. The as implanted single crystals exhibit superparamagnetic behaviour attributed to the formation of nanosized cobalt clusters. After annealing at 1073 K an anisotropic ferromagnetic behaviour emerges with the easy magnetization axis lying in the (001) plane of rutile. The ferromagnetic behaviour is associated with oriented cobalt aggregates. Electrical conductivity of the implanted samples annealed in vacuum also exhibits anisotropic behaviour at low temperatures, but no magnetoresistive effects were detected.

Currents along ring arms with quantum dots: Kondo and Aharonov–Bohm effects

Transport properties of a double-dot system in a ring structure threaded by a magnetic flux are studied. The Aharonov–Bohm effect combined with the charging effects of the dots in the Kondo regime determines the phases of the currents going through each arm of the ring. Depending upon the magnetic flux and the state of charge of the dots, controlled by gate potentials, current circulates around the ring.     

On the valence instability in CeAl2

This paper reports the observation of an isostructural electronic phase transition in CeAl₂ near 77 Kbar pressure at ambient temperature. The present volume compression data obtained under truly hydrostatic pressure conditions gives a clear indication of the first order nature of this phase transformation.

Ferromagnetism in the periodic Anderson model. A comparison of spectral density approximation (SDA), modified alloy analogy (MAA) and modified perturbation theory (MPT)

We compare different approximation schemes for investigating ferromagnetism in the periodic Anderson model. The use of several approximations allows for a detailed analysis of the implications of the respective methods, and also of the mechanisms driving the ferromagnetic transition. For the Kondo limit, our results confirm a previously proposed mechanism leading to ferromagnetic order, namely an RKKY exchange mediated via the formation of Kondo screening clouds in the conduction band. The contrary case is found in the intermediate-valence regime. Here, the bandshift correction ensuring a correct high-energy expansion of the self-energy is essential. Inclusion of damping effects reduces stability of the ferromagnetic phase. Received 5 June 2000 and Received in final form 3 August 2000     

Effects of an anisotropic parabolic potential and Coulomb’s impurity potential on the energy characteristics of asymmetrical semi-exponential CsI quantum wells

Because of its unique optoelectronic properties,people have studied the characteristics of polarons in various quantum well(QW)models.Among them,the asymmetrical semiexponential QW(ASEQW)is a new model for studying the structure of QWs in recent years.It is of great significance to study the influences of the impurity and anisotropic parabolic confinement potential(APCP)on the crystal’s properties,because some of the impurities,usually regarded as Coulomb’s impurity potential(CIP),will exist in the crystal more or less,and the APCP has flexible adjustment parameters.However,the energy characteristics of the ASEQW under the combined actions of impurities and APCP have not been studied,which is the motivation of this paper.Using the linear combination operation and Lee-Low-Pines unitary transformation methods,we investigate the vibrational frequency and the ground state energy of the strong coupling polaron in an ASEQW with the influences of the CIP at the origin of coordinates and APCP,and make a comparison between our results and previous literature’s.Our numerical results about the energy properties in the ASEQW influenced by the CIP and APCP may have important significances for experimental design and device preparation.     

Elemental Analysis of Phytotherapeutic Products by Inductively Coupled Plasma–Tandem Mass Spectrometry

A procedure for the determination of As, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, and V in phytotherapy medicines by inductively coupled plasma–tandem mass spectrometry is reported. The use of tandem mass spectrometry with oxygen into an octopole reaction system at various gas flow rates and the combination of on-mass and mass-shift modes was evaluated. Cadmium, Cr, Ni, and Pb were determined as free atomic ions while As and V were determined as the oxides AsO⁺ and VO⁺ in the same run. Samples were prepared by microwave-assisted digestion with dilute nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide. Two plant-certified reference materials (apple leaves and tomato leaves) were used to check the accuracy. For tandem mass spectrometry with 0.5?mL min^?1 O₂, recoveries in the 85–113% were typically obtained and no statistical differences were observed at the 95% confidence level (t-test) in comparison with the certified values. Using these conditions, the limits of detection for the method were 0.01, 0.0002, 0.008, 0.008, 0.003, and 0.002?µg g^?1 for As, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, and V, respectively. The procedure was used for the analysis of four phytotherapic drugs and the determined concentrations were up to 0.168?µg g^?1 As, 0.03?µg g^?1 Cd, 0.82?µg g^?1 Cr, 1.18?µg g^?1 Ni, 0.52?µg g^?1 Pb, and 2.4?µg g^?1 V with average precision values of 8% as the relative standard deviation. The found concentrations were compared with limits proposed in official guidelines and, in most cases, the values were below the maximum limits allowed.     

Ferromagnetic ordering in ThSi2 type CeAu0.28Ge1.72

The compound CeAu_0.28Ge_1.72 crystallizes in the ThSi₂ structure type in the tetragonal space group I4₁/amd with lattice parameters a=b=4.2415(6) Å c=14.640(3) Å. CeAu_0.28Ge_1.72 is a polar intermetallic compound having a three-dimensional Ge/Au polyanion sub-network filled with Ce atoms. The magnetic susceptibility data show Curie-Weiss law behavior above 50 K. The compound orders ferromagnetically at ∼8 K with estimated magnetic moment of 2.48 μ_B/Ce. The ferromagnetic ordering is confirmed by the heat capacity data which show a rise at ∼8 K. The electronic specific heat coefficient (γ) value obtained from the paramagnetic temperature range 15-25 K is∼124(5) mJ/ mol K². The entropy change due to the ferromagnetic transition is ∼4.2 J/mol K which is appreciably reduced compared to the value of R ln(2) expected for a crystal-field-split doublet ground state and/or Kondo exchange interactions.
