Graduate Study in Education at Kansas State University
The most significant changes in the College of Education have occurred in the area of graduate study. New graduate programs in late afternoon and evening, as well as eight off-campus locations, have extended the program to serve the teachers of Kansas. In addition K-State is cooperating with a consortium of southern and midwestern colleges to strengthen programs and faculty for developing institutions. Graduate study in education is just one more example of the land-grant philosophy which brings the resources of the university to the people it serves

Field Dependence of the Superconducting Basal Plane Anisotropy of TmNi2B2C
The superconductor TmNi2B2C possesses a significant four-fold basal plane
anisotropy, leading to a square Vortex Lattice (VL) at intermediate fields.
However, unlike other members of the borocarbide superconductors, the
anisotropy in TmNi2B2C appears to decrease with increasing field, evident by a
reentrance of the square VL phase. We have used Small Angle Neutron Scattering
measurements of the VL to study the field dependence of the anisotropy. Our
results provide a direct, quantitative measurement of the decreasing
anisotropy. We attribute this reduction of the basal plane anisotropy to the
strong Pauli paramagnetic effects observed in TmNi2B2C and the resulting
expansion of vortex cores near Hc2.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, 1 tabl
Kondo behavior, ferromagnetic correlations, and crystal fields in the heavy Fermion compounds Ce3X (X=In, Sn)
We report measurements of inelastic neutron scattering, magnetic
susceptibility, magnetization, and the magnetic field dependence of the
specific heat for the heavy Fermion compounds CeIn and CeSn. The
neutron scattering results show that the excited crystal field levels have
energies = 13.2 meV, = 44.8 meV for CeIn and = 18.5 meV,
= 36.1 meV for CeSn. The Kondo temperature deduced from the
quasielastic linewidth is 17 K for CeIn and 40 K for CeSn. The low
temperature behavior of the specific heat, magnetization, and susceptibility
can not be well-described by J=1/2 Kondo physics alone, but require
calculations that include contributions from the Kondo effect, broadened
crystal fields, and ferromagnetic correlations, all of which are known to be
important in these compounds. We find that in CeIn the ferromagnetic
fluctuation makes a 10-15 % contribution to the ground state doublet entropy
and magnetization. The large specific heat coefficient in this heavy
fermion system thus arises more from the ferromagnetic correlations than from
the Kondo behavior.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure
Vortex lattice structure in BaFe2(As0.67P0.33)2 by the small-angle neutron scattering technique
We have observed a magnetic vortex lattice (VL) in BaFe2(As_{0.67}P_{0.33})2
(BFAP) single crystals by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). With the field
along the c-axis, a nearly isotropic hexagonal VL was formed in the field range
from 1 to 16 T, which is a record for this technique in the pnictides, and no
symmetry changes in the VL were observed. The temperature-dependence of the VL
signal was measured and confirms the presence of (non d-wave) nodes in the
superconducting gap structure for measurements at 5 T and below. The nodal
effects were suppressed at high fields. At low fields, a VL reorientation
transition was observed between 1 T and 3 T, with the VL orientation changing
by 45{\deg}. Below 1 T, the VL structure was strongly affected by pinning and
the diffraction pattern had a fourfold symmetry. We suggest that this (and
possibly also the VL reorientation) is due to pinning to defects aligned with
the crystal structure, rather than being intrinsic.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figure
Learning Disabilities in the Workplace: LD awareness presentation for supervisors
This informational workshop is an awareness tool for chairpersons to understand and recognize characteristics and consequences of learning disabilities in the workplace. Legal rights and responsibilities of employers and individuals with learning disabilities will be discussed. Accommodations for specific learning disabilities will be identified. This presentation is informational only.Citation: Verhage, E., Coleman, T., Darbyshire, M.J., & Littrell, L. (2006). Learning Disabilities in the Workplace: LD awareness presentation for supervisors.

Interplay of gravitation and linear superposition of different mass eigenstates
The interplay of gravitation and the quantum-mechanical principle of linear
superposition induces a new set of neutrino oscillation phases. These ensure
that the flavor-oscillation clocks, inherent in the phenomenon of neutrino
oscillations, redshift precisely as required by Einstein's theory of
gravitation. The physical observability of these phases in the context of the
solar neutrino anomaly, type-II supernovae, and certain atomic systems is
briefly discussed
