Magnetic Properties of the low dimensional spin system (VO)2_2P2_2O7_{7}: ESR and susceptibility

Experimental results on magnetic resonance (ESR) and magnetic susceptibility are given for single crystalline (VO)$_2$P$_2$O$_{7}$. The crystal growth procedure is briefly discussed. The susceptibility is interpreted numerically using a model with alternating spin chains. We determine $J$=51 K and $\delta$=0.2. Furthermore we find a spin gap of $\approx 6$meV from our ESR measurements. Using elastic constants no indication of a phase transition forcing the dimerization is seen below 300 K.Comment: 7 pages, REVTEX, 7 figure

Transplantation of progenitor cells and regeneration enhancement in acute myocardial infarction - (TOPCARE-AMI)

Background - Experimental studies suggest that transplantation of blood-derived or bone marrow–derived progenitor cells beneficially affects postinfarction remodeling. The safety and feasibility of autologous progenitor cell transplantation in patients with ischemic heart disease is unknown

Spin correlations and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in Cs2_2CuCl4_4

We report on electron spin resonance (ESR) studies of the spin relaxation in Cs$_2$CuCl$_4$. The main source of the ESR linewidth at temperatures $T \leq 150$ K is attributed to the uniform Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. The vector components of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction are determined from the angular dependence of the ESR spectra using a high-temperature approximation. Both the angular and temperature dependence of the ESR linewidth have been analyzed using a self-consistent quantum-mechanical approach. In addition analytical expressions based on a quasi-classical picture for spin fluctuations are derived, which show good agreement with the quantum-approach for temperatures $T \geq 2J/k_{\rm B} \approx 15$ K. A small modulation of the ESR linewidth observed in the $ac$-plane is attributed to the anisotropic Zeeman interaction, which reflects the two magnetically nonequivalent Cu positions

Modern technologies of adaptation young specialists in the organization

In this article the main directions and technologies of adaptation of young specialists are considered. The author has revealed new technology of adaptation of young specialists which will allow new employees to feel more comfortably on a new workplace, to join collective, and also will lead to reduction of a dissatisfaction and turnover of staff at an initial stage of adaptation

Codes and finite geometries

We explore the connections between finite geometry and algebraic coding theory, giving a rather full account of the Reed-Muller and generalized Reed-Muller codes. Some of the results and many of the proofs are new but this is largely an expository effort that relies heavily on the work of Delsarte et al. and of Charpin. The necessary geometric background is sketched before we begin the discussion of the Reed-Muller codes and their p-ary analogues. We prove all the classical results concerning these codes and include a discussion of the group-algebra approach and prove Berman's theorem characterizing the codes as powers of the radical. Included also is a discussion of the characterization of affine-invariant cyclic codes given by Kasami, Lin and Peterson and its generalization by Delsarte. our theme throughout this work is the relationship between these codes and the codes coming from both affine and projective geometries. The final section develops the theory in the more difficult case in which the field is not of prime order, here must look at subfield subcodes - which complicates the connection with the geometric codes, which are codesover the prime subfield of the field of the geometry

The stable phases of the Cs2CuCl4-xBrx mixed systems

Starting from Cs2CuCl4 and Cs2CuBr4 our project focuses on the growth of the Cs2CuCl4-xBrx mixed crystals from aqueous solution and the investigation of the occurring structural variations. The well known orthorhombic structure (space group Pnma) of the end members of this system is interrupted within the intermediate composition range Cs2CuCl3Br1 - Cs2CuCl2Br2, if the growth takes place at room temperature. Within this range a new tetragonal phase is found (space group I4/mmm). However, in case the growth temperature will be increased to 50 {\deg}C, the existence of the orthorhombic structure can be extended over the whole Cs2CuCl4-xBrx mixed system. A detailed analysis of the composition dependence of the lattice parameters is used to draw conclusions on the incorporation of Cl- and Br-ions at different sites which is important for the magnetic interactions between the Cu-ions.Comment: 16 pages,8 figure
