Impurity-Induced Antiferromagnetic Ordering in the Spin Gap System TlCuCl_3
The magnetization measurements have been performed on the doped spin gap
system TlCu_{1-x}Mg_xCl_3 with x <= 0.025. The parent compound TlCuCl_3 is a
three-dimensional coupled spin dimer system with the excitation gap Delta/k_B =
7.7 K. The impurity-induced antiferromagnetic ordering was clearly observed.
The easy axis lies in the (0,1,0) plane. It was found that the transition
temperature increases with increasing Mg^{2+} concentration x, while the
spin-flop transition field is almost independent of x. The magnetization curve
suggests that the impurity-induced antiferromagnetic ordering coexists with the
spin gap for x <= 0.017.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures, revtex styl
Random Bond Effect in the Quantum Spin System (TlK)CuCl
The effect of exchange bond randomness on the ground state and the
field-induced magnetic ordering was investigated through magnetization
measurements in the spin-1/2 mixed quantum spin system
(TlK)CuCl for . Both parent compounds TlCuCl and
KCuCl are coupled spin dimer systems, which have the singlet ground state
with excitation gaps K and 31 K, respectively. Due to
bond randomness, the singlet ground state turns into the magnetic state with
finite susceptibility, nevertheless, the excitation gap remains. Field-induced
magnetic ordering, which can be described by the Bose condensation of excited
triplets, magnons, was observed as in the parent systems. The phase transition
temperature is suppressed by the bond randomness. This behavior may be
attributed to the localization effect.Comment: 19 pages, 7 figures, 12 eps files, revtex, will appear in PR
Magnetic field-induced one-magnon Raman scattering in the magnon Bose-Einstein condensation phase of TlCuCl
We report the observation of the -symmetric one-magnon Raman peak
in the magnon Bose-Einstein condensation phase of TlCuCl. Its Raman shift
traces the one-magnon energy at the magnetic point, and its intensity
is proportional to the squared transverse magnetization. The appearance of the
one-magnon Raman scattering originates from the exchange magnon Raman process
and reflects the change of the magnetic-state symmetry. Using the bond-operator
representation, we theoretically clarify the Raman selection rules, being
consistent with the experimental results.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Impurity-induced magnetic order in the mixture of two spin gap systems (CH3)2CHNH3CuCl3 and (CH3)2CHNH3CuBr3
The ground state of the solid solution of the two spin gap systems
(CH3)2CHNH3CuCl3 and (CH3)2CHNH3CuBr3 has been investigated by 1H-NMR. The
existence of a magnetic ordering in the sample with the Cl-content x=0.85 was
clearly demonstrated by a drastic splitting in a resonance line at low
temperatures below TN=13.5K. The observed NMR spectra in the ordered state was
qualitatively consistent with the simple antiferromagnetic state.Comment: QuBS200
Stretching Actin Filaments within Cells Enhances their Affinity for the Myosin II Motor Domain
To test the hypothesis that the myosin II motor domain (S1) preferentially binds to specific subsets of actin filaments in vivo, we expressed GFP-fused S1 with mutations that enhanced its affinity for actin in Dictyostelium cells. Consistent with the hypothesis, the GFP-S1 mutants were localized along specific portions of the cell cortex. Comparison with rhodamine-phalloidin staining in fixed cells demonstrated that the GFP-S1 probes preferentially bound to actin filaments in the rear cortex and cleavage furrows, where actin filaments are stretched by interaction with endogenous myosin II filaments. The GFP-S1 probes were similarly enriched in the cortex stretched passively by traction forces in the absence of myosin II or by external forces using a microcapillary. The preferential binding of GFP-S1 mutants to stretched actin filaments did not depend on cortexillin I or PTEN, two proteins previously implicated in the recruitment of myosin II filaments to stretched cortex. These results suggested that it is the stretching of the actin filaments itself that increases their affinity for the myosin II motor domain. In contrast, the GFP-fused myosin I motor domain did not localize to stretched actin filaments, which suggests different preferences of the motor domains for different structures of actin filaments play a role in distinct intracellular localizations of myosin I and II. We propose a scheme in which the stretching of actin filaments, the preferential binding of myosin II filaments to stretched actin filaments, and myosin II-dependent contraction form a positive feedback loop that contributes to the stabilization of cell polarity and to the responsiveness of the cells to external mechanical stimuli
