Dilute ferrimagnetic semiconductors in Fe-substituted spinel ZnGaO
Solid solutions of nominal composition
[ZnGaO][FeO], of the semiconducting spinel
ZnGaO with the ferrimagnetic spinel FeO have been prepared with
= 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15. All samples show evidence for long-range magnetic
ordering with ferromagnetic hysteresis at low temperatures. Magnetization as a
function of field for the = 0.15 sample is S-shaped at temperatures as high
as 200 K. M\"ossbauer spectroscopy on the = 0.15 sample confirms the
presence of Fe, and spontaneous magnetization at 4.2 K. The magnetic
behavior is obtained without greatly affecting the semiconducting properties of
the host; diffuse reflectance optical spectroscopy indicates that Fe
substitution up to = 0.15 does not affect the position of the band edge
absorption. These promising results motivate the possibility of dilute
ferrimagnetic semiconductors which do not require carrier mediation of the
magnetic moment.Comment: 9 pages and 6 figure
Numerical evolution of multiple black holes with accurate initial data
We present numerical evolutions of three equal-mass black holes using the
moving puncture approach. We calculate puncture initial data for three black
holes solving the constraint equations by means of a high-order multigrid
elliptic solver. Using these initial data, we show the results for three black
hole evolutions with sixth-order waveform convergence. We compare results
obtained with the BAM and AMSS-NCKU codes with previous results. The
approximate analytic solution to the Hamiltonian constraint used in previous
simulations of three black holes leads to different dynamics and waveforms. We
present some numerical experiments showing the evolution of four black holes
and the resulting gravitational waveform.Comment: Published in PR
Assessment techniques, database design and software facilities for thermodynamics and diffusion
The purpose of this article is to give a set of recommendations to producers of assessed thermodynamic data, who may be involved in either the critical evaluation of limited chemical systems or the creation and dissemination of larger thermodynamic databases. Also, it is hoped that reviewers and editors of scientific publications in this field will find some of the information useful. Good practice in the assessment process is essential, particularly as datasets from many different sources may be combined together into a single database. With this in mind, we highlight some problems that can arise during the assessment process and we propose a quality assurance procedure. It is worth mentioning at this point, that the provision of reliable assessed thermodynamic data relies heavily on the availability of high quality experimental information. The different software packages for thermodynamics and diffusion are described here only briefly
The Al-Rich Part of the Fe-Al Phase Diagram
The Al-rich part of the Fe-Al phase diagram between 50 and 80 at.% Al including the complex intermetallic phases FeAl (ε), FeAl, FeAl, and Fe4Al was re-investigated in detail. A series of 19 alloys was produced and heat-treated at temperatures in the range from 600 to 1100 °C for up to 5000 h. The obtained data were further complemented by results from a number of diffusion couples, which helped to determine the homogeneity ranges of the phases FeAl, FeAl, and FeAl. All microstructures were inspected by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and chemical compositions of the equilibrium phases as well as of the alloys were obtained by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). Crystal structures and the variation of the lattice parameters were studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) was applied to measure all types of transition temperatures. From these results, a revised version of the Al-rich part of the phase diagram was constructed
Histology of the Pharyngeal Constrictor Muscle in 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome and Non-Syndromic Children with Velopharyngeal Insufficiency
Plastic surgeons aim to correct velopharyngeal insufficiency manifest by hypernasal speech with a velopharyngoplasty. The functional outcome has been reported to be worse in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome than in patients without the syndrome. A possible explanation is the hypotonia that is often present as part of the syndrome. To confirm a myogenic component of the etiology of velopharyngeal insufficiency in children with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, specimens of the pharyngeal constrictor muscle were taken from children with and without the syndrome. Histologic properties were compared between the groups. Specimens from the two groups did not differ regarding the presence of increased perimysial or endomysial space, fiber grouping by size or type, internalized nuclei, the percentage type I fibers, or the diameters of type I and type II fibers. In conclusion, a myogenic component of the etiology of velopharyngeal insufficiency in children with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome could not be confirmed
