Experimental demonstration of graphene plasmons working close to the near-infrared window
Due to strong mode-confinement, long propagation-distance, and unique
tunability, graphene plasmons have been widely explored in the mid-infrared and
terahertz windows. However, it remains a big challenge to push graphene
plasmons to shorter wavelengths in order to integrate graphene plasmon concepts
with existing mature technologies in the near-infrared region. We investigate
localized graphene plasmons supported by graphene nanodisks and experimentally
demonstrated graphene plasmon working at 2 {\mu}m with the aid of a fully
scalable block copolymer self-assembly method. Our results show a promising way
to promote graphene plasmons for both fundamental studies and potential
applications in the near-infrared window.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, a revised versio

Structural, Magnetic and Magneto-caloric studies of Ni50Mn30Sn20Shape Memory Alloy
We have synthesized a nominal composition of Ni50Mn30Sn20 alloy using arc
melting technique. Rietveld refinement confirms the austenite L21 structure in
Fm-3m space group. Electrical resistivity has been found to clearly exhibiting
two different phenomena viz. a magnetic transition from paramagnetic to
ferromagnetic and a structural transition from austenite to martensitic phase.
Thermo-magnetization measurements M(T) confirms ferromagnetic transition
temperature TC at 222 K and martensitic transition starting at 127 K(MS).
Magnetization measurement M(H) at 10 K confirms the ferromagnetic state.
Frequency dependence of ac susceptibility \c{hi}' at low temperature suggests
spin glass behavior in the system. The isothermal magnetic entropy change
values have been found to be 1.14 J/Kg.K, 2.69 J/Kg.K and 3.9 J/Kg.K, with
refrigeration capacities of 19.6 J/kg, 37.8 J/kg and 54.6 J/kg for the field
change of 1, 2 and 3 Tesla respectively at 227 K.Comment: 16 pages text + Figs. Ni50Mn30Sn20 alloy: reasonable refrigeration

Female directorship on boards and corporate sustainability policies: Their effect on sustainable development
We aim to explore whether board gender diversity, specifically women institutional directors,
improves the sustainability development and stakeholder engagement of listed firms by
affecting corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies. Moreover, within female institutional
directors we can differentiate between banks and insurance companies (pressure-sensitive
female institutional directors) and mutual funds, investment funds, pension funds and venture
capital firms (pressure-resistant female institutional directors). Thus, the effect of these
categories of directors on CSR policies is also analysed. Our findings suggest that female
institutional, as a whole, have a positive effect on CSR policies, the same behaviour that show
pressure-resistant female institutional, while pressure-sensitive institutional do not impact on
CSR policies. This research provides a new framework for the role played by certain types of
female directors (female institutional directors, female pressure-sensitive directors and female
pressure-resistant directors) in CSR policies and, thus, may help policymakers to promote
CSR policies, and to take action to promote responsible behaviour among listed firms
Manuel García. Herencia vocal. Presente y futuro
Manuel García representa el corazón de los cantantes de Bel Canto con
la magnificencia de sus habilidades vocales, las cuales trató de infundir
tanto en sus textos y en sus hijos –María Malibrán, Pauline Viardot
y Manuel Patricio García– como también en sus alumnos. A través de
datos históricos y un profundo y vasto análisis de los textos anteriores
a García, mostraré como el aspecto mecánico de la técnica vocal llega
hasta Manuel García proveniente de los castrados españoles incluso
antes de la creación de la ópera
Mobile phone use among university students from Isfahan (Iran) and Malaga (Spain). Comparative study in the social and academic field.
The work presents a comparative analysis of mobile phone use by university students from two universities, a group from Isfahan (Iran) and another from Málaga (Spain). To do this, two groups of young people (90 students from the Faculty of Education of Isfahan and 108 students from the University of Málaga) responded to an online survey translated to Farsi, which analyzed several of the items.
The data indicate that the presence and use of the mobile is very widespread among the young population. Nine students out of ten keep the mobile on forever. Although differences are observed in the use of applications, times, etc., and in the case of the sudents of Isfahan it seems to be used more frequently in almost all sections (social networks, informal chat, photographs, etc.) than its Equals of Spain.
The results confirm the strong implantation of the mobile phone in the social life of young people but not so much as an academic or professional resource of the same.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech
