Theoretical Investigation On The Existence Of Inverse And Direct Magnetocaloric Effect In Perovskite Euzro 3

We report on the magnetic and magnetocaloric effect calculations in antiferromagnetic perovskite-type EuZrO 3. The theoretical investigation was carried out using a model Hamiltonian including the exchange interactions between nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor for the antiferromagnetic ideal G-type structure (the tolerance factor for EuZrO 3 is t = 0.983, which characterizes a small deformation from an ideal cubic perovskite). The molecular field approximation and Monte Carlo simulation were considered and compared. The calculated magnetic susceptibility is in good agreement with the available experimental data. For a magnetic field change from zero to 2 T a normal magnetocaloric effect was calculated and for a magnetic field change from zero to 1 T, an inverse magnetocaloric effect was predicted to occur below T = 3.6 K. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.1098Warburg, E., (1881) Ann.

The Giant Anisotropic Magnetocaloric Effect In Dyal2

We report on calculations of the anisotropic magnetocaloric effect in DyAl2 using a model Hamiltonian including crystalline electrical field effects. The anisotropic effect is produced by the rotation of a constant magnetic field from the easy to a hard magnetic direction in the crystal and is enhanced by the first order nature of the field induced spin reorientation transition. The calculated results indicate that for a field with modulus of 2 T rotating from a hard to the easy direction, the isothermal magnetic entropy (Δ Siso) and adiabatic temperature (Δ Tad) changes present peak values higher than 60% the ones observed in the usual process, in which the field direction is kept constant and the modulus of the field is varied. © 2008 American Institute of Physics.1049Tishin, A.M., Spichkin, Y.I., (2003) The Magnetocaloric Effect and Its Applications, , 1st ed.

New Heptacoordinated Organotin(IV) Complexes Derivatives of 2,6-diacetylpyridinebis(2-furanoylhydrazone), H2dapf, and 2,6-diacetylpyridinebis(2-thenoylhydrazone), H2dapt: Crystal and Molecular Structure of [Me2Sn(Hdapt]Br.H2O

As reações dos ligantes H2dapf e H2dapt, com R4-mSnXm (m = 2, 3; R = Me, Ph e X = Cl, Br) resultaram na formação de oito novos complexos organoestânicos heptacoordenados, os quais foram estudados por análise elementar, espectroscopias no IV, RMN de ¹H e Mössbauer, para investigar suas propriedades estruturais. O derivado metilado, [Me2Sn(Hdapt)]Br.H2O, foi também caracterizado por difração de raio X por monocristais. O complexo cristaliza no sistema monoclínico e grupo de espaço P2(1)/c, com a = 21.920(3), b = 7.4470(5), c = 16.805(2) Å, beta = 110.18(1)º e Z = 4. A determinação estrutural revelou um complexo monocatiônico de Sn(IV), [Me2Sn(Hdapf)]+, numa geometria bipiramidal trigonal, na qual o Br- está como contra-íon e uma molécula de água ajuda o empacotamento cristalino. Os parâmetros Mössbauer para o complexo [Me2Sn(Hdapf)]2 [Me2SnCl4] evidenciaram dois sítios de Sn(IV), como observado pela determinação da estrutura cristalina. Também uma correlação entre os dados de Mössbauer e de raio X, baseada no modelo carga-ponto, é discutida.The reaction of the ligands H2dapf and H2dapt, with R4-mSnXm (m = 2, 3; R = Me, Ph and X = Cl, Br) led to the formation of eight new heptacoordinated organotin(IV) complexes, which were studied by microanalysis, IR, NMR and Mössbauer spectroscopy to investigate their structural properties. The methyl derivative [Me2Sn(Hdapt)]Br.H2O was also studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/c, with a = 21.920(3), b = 7.4470(5), c = 16.805(2) Å, beta = 110.18(1)º, Z = 4. The structure determination revealed a monocationic complex of Sn(IV) in a distorted bipyramidal geometry [Me2Sn(Hdapf)]+, with Br- as counter ion and one molecule of water helping the crystal packing. Mössbauer parameters of the complex [Me2Sn(Hdapf)]2[Me2SnCl4] have evidenced two Sn(IV) sites, as observed in the crystal structure determination. Also a correlation between Mössbauer and X-ray data based on the point-charge model is discussed

Stability and collapse of localized solutions of the controlled three-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation

On the basis of recent investigations, a newly developed analytical procedure is used for constructing a wide class of localized solutions of the controlled three-dimensional (3D) Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) that governs the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). The controlled 3D GPE is decomposed into a two-dimensional (2D) linear Schr\"{o}dinger equation and a one-dimensional (1D) nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation, constrained by a variational condition for the controlling potential. Then, the above class of localized solutions are constructed as the product of the solutions of the transverse and longitudinal equations. On the basis of these exact 3D analytical solutions, a stability analysis is carried out, focusing our attention on the physical conditions for having collapsing or non-collapsing solutions.Comment: 21 pages, 14 figure

Search for direct production of charginos and neutralinos in events with three leptons and missing transverse momentum in √s = 7 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

A search for the direct production of charginos and neutralinos in final states with three electrons or muons and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis is based on 4.7 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded with the ATLAS detector. Observations are consistent with Standard Model expectations in three signal regions that are either depleted or enriched in Z-boson decays. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set in R-parity conserving phenomenological minimal supersymmetric models and in simplified models, significantly extending previous results

Jet size dependence of single jet suppression in lead-lead collisions at sqrt(s(NN)) = 2.76 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC

Measurements of inclusive jet suppression in heavy ion collisions at the LHC provide direct sensitivity to the physics of jet quenching. In a sample of lead-lead collisions at sqrt(s) = 2.76 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 7 inverse microbarns, ATLAS has measured jets with a calorimeter over the pseudorapidity interval |eta| < 2.1 and over the transverse momentum range 38 < pT < 210 GeV. Jets were reconstructed using the anti-kt algorithm with values for the distance parameter that determines the nominal jet radius of R = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5. The centrality dependence of the jet yield is characterized by the jet "central-to-peripheral ratio," Rcp. Jet production is found to be suppressed by approximately a factor of two in the 10% most central collisions relative to peripheral collisions. Rcp varies smoothly with centrality as characterized by the number of participating nucleons. The observed suppression is only weakly dependent on jet radius and transverse momentum. These results provide the first direct measurement of inclusive jet suppression in heavy ion collisions and complement previous measurements of dijet transverse energy imbalance at the LHC.Comment: 15 pages plus author list (30 pages total), 8 figures, 2 tables, submitted to Physics Letters B.
