Magnetic properties of <Superscript>3</Superscript>He on the recursive lattices

We considered the Heisenberg model on the recursive lattices with multi-spin interaction in a strong magnetic field as an approximation of the two-dimensional kagome lattice, as well as hexagonal recursive lattices as an approximation of triangular lattice, for solid ³He. In a strong magnetic field it is possible to approximate the Heisenberg model with the Izing one. Using dynamic approach, we obtain exact recursion relations for partition functions. Diagrams of the magnetization versus external magnetic field with different spin-exchange parameters and temperatures are presented. Magnetization plateaux, bifurcation points, and doublings are obtained.     

Antiferromagnetic model and magnetization plateaus on the zigzag ladder with two- and three-site exchanges

The Ising approximation is proposed for the Heisenberg model with two- and three-spin exchange interactions on a zigzag ladder placed in a strong magnetic field. Using the transfer matrix technique the magnetization is calculated and compared with the results obtained in the dynamical recursive approach. Magnetization plateaus are found at m=0 and with the two- and three-spin exchanges. The magnetic susceptibility in small and large zigzag ladders for various exchange parameters and temperatures is also analyzed. As temperature decreases the magnetic susceptibility versus magnetic field shows the formation of spin pseudogaps and transformation from double to four peak structure. Small clusters also exhibit characteristic features of large thermodynamic systems.

Review of nanofluids for heat transfer applications

Research on nanofluids has progressed rapidly since its enhanced thermal conductivity was first repotted about a decade ago,though much controversy and inconsistency have been reported,and insufficient understanding of the formulation and mechanism of nanofluids further limits their applications.This work presents a critical review of research on heat transfer applications of nanofluids with the aim of identifying the limiting factors so as to push forward their further development.     

CD40mAb adjuvant induces a rapid antibody response that may be beneficial in post-exposure prophylaxis

Active vaccination can be effective as a post-exposure prophylaxis, but the rapidity of the immune response induced, relative to the incubation time of the pathogen, is critical. We show here that CD40mAb conjugated to antigen induces a more rapid specific antibody response than currently used immunological adjuvants, alum and monophosphoryl lipid A™.     

Magnetic and quantum entanglement properties of the distorted diamond chain model for azurite

On the basis of experimental data on interactions between humans we have investigated the process of epidemic spreading in a social network. We found that the distribution of the number of contacts maintained in one day is exponential. Data on frequency and duration of interpersonal interactions are presented. They allow us to simulate the spread of droplet-/-air-borne infections and to investigate the influence of human dynamics on the epidemic spread. Specifically, we investigated the influence of the distribution of frequency and duration of those contacts on magnitude, epidemic threshold and peak timing of epidemics propagating in respective networks. It turns out that a large increase in the magnitude of an epidemic and a decrease in epidemic threshold are visible if and only if both are taken into account. We have found that correlation between contact frequency and duration strongly influences the effectiveness of control measures like mass immunization campaigns.     

CeO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanoparticle-modified electrode as a novel electrochemical interface in the quantification of Zn<Superscript>2+ </Superscript>ions at trace level: application to real sample analysis

A simple strategy has been proposed to quantify Zn²⁺ ions using CeO₂ nanoparticle-modified glassy carbon electrode. The CeO₂ nanoparticles were prepared by sucrose-nitrate decomposition method, and it was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR, TEM, and surface area analyzer. The synthesized CeO₂ nanoparticles were used as modifier molecules as a thin film on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in the trace level quantification of Zn²⁺ by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) techniques. The fabricated sensor exhibited a good analytical response towards Zn²⁺ ions. The modified electrode showed a wide linearity in the concentration range 20–380 μg L^?1 with a limit of detection 0.36 μg L^?1. The proposed electrochemical sensor was successfully applied to trace level Zn²⁺ quantification from real sample matrices.     

Thermal entanglement of a spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on a symmetrical diamond chain

The entanglement quantum properties of a spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on a symmetrical diamond chain were analyzed. Due to the separable nature of the Ising-type exchange interactions between neighboring Heisenberg dimers, calculation of the entanglement can be performed exactly for each individual dimer. Pairwise thermal entanglement was studied in terms of the isotropic Ising-Heisenberg model and analytical expressions for the concurrence (as a measure of bipartite entanglement) were obtained. The effects of external magnetic field H and next-nearest neighbor interaction J(m) between nodal Ising sites were considered. The ground state structure and entanglement properties of the system were studied in a wide range of coupling constant values. Various regimes with different values of ground state entanglement were revealed, depending on the relation between competing interaction strengths. Finally, some novel effects, such as the two-peak behavior of concurrence versus temperature and coexistence of phases with different values of magnetic entanglement, were observed.
