An unusual interplay among disorder, Kondo-effect and spin-glass behavior in the Kondo lattices, Ce2_2Au1−x_{1-x}Cox_xSi3_3

We report the results of magnetic measurements for the solid solution Ce$_2$Au$_{1-x}$Co$_x$Si$_3$. The results reveal that this solid solution is characterized by a magnetic phase diagram (plot of magnetic transition temperature versus $x$) unusual for Kondo lattices. In particular, the spin-glass freezing induced by disorder is observed only for the compositions at the weak coupling limit; as one approaches the quantum critical point by a gradual replacement of Au by Co, this disorder effect is surprisingly suppressed in favor of long range antiferro-magnetic ordering in contrast to expectations. This unusual interplay between disorder, spin-glass freezing and the Kondo-effect calls for further refinement of theories on competition between magnetism and the Kondo effect.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

The correlation between immune subtypes and consensus molecular subtypes in colorectal cancer identifies novel tumour microenvironment profiles, with prognostic and therapeutic implications

Background Solid tumour growth is the consequence of a complex interplay between cancer cells and their microenvironment. Recently, a new global transcriptomic immune classification of solid tumours has identified six immune subtypes (ISs) (C1–C6). Our aim was to specifically characterise ISs in colorectal cancer (CRC) and assess their interplay with the consensus molecular subtypes (CMSs). Methods Clinical and molecular information, including CMSs and ISs, were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) (N = 625). Immune cell populations, differential gene expression and gene set enrichment analysis were performed to characterise ISs in the global CRC population by using CMSs. Results Only 5 ISs were identified in CRC, predominantly C1 wound healing (77%) and C2 IFN-γ dominant (17%). CMS1 showed the highest proportion of C2 (53%), whereas C1 was particularly dominant in CMS2 (91%). CMS3 had the highest representation of C3 inflammatory (7%) and C4 lymphocyte depleted ISs (4%), whereas all C6 TGF-β dominant cases belonged to CMS4 (2.3%). Prognostic relevance of ISs in CRC substantially differed from that reported for the global TCGA, and ISs had a greater ability to stratify the prognosis of CRC patients than CMS classification. C2 had higher densities of CD8, CD4 activated, follicular helper T cells, regulatory T cells and neutrophils and the highest M1/M2 polarisation. C2 had a heightened activation of pathways related to the immune system, apoptosis and DNA repair, mTOR signalling and oxidative phosphorylation, whereas C1 was more dependent of metabolic pathways. Conclusions The correlation of IS and CMS allows a more precise categorisation of patients with relevant clinical and biological implications, which may be valuable tools to improve tailored therapeutic interventions in CRC patients.This work was funded by projects DTS15/00157 , PI16/01827 and CIBER-ONC CB16/12/00442 from the Instituto de Salud Carlos III ( Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness, Spain ) and cofunded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF, European Union), and approved by the Ethics Committee or our Institution.

Ginzburg-Landau functional for nearly antiferromagnetic perfect and disordered Kondo lattices

Interplay between Kondo effect and trends to antiferromagnetic and spin glass ordering in perfect and disordered bipartite Kondo lattices is considered. Ginzburg-Landau equation is derived from the microscopic effective action written in three mode representation (Kondo screening, antiferromagnetic correlations and spin liquid correlations). The problem of local constraint is resolved by means of Popov-Fedotov representation for localized spin operators. It is shown that the Kondo screening enhances the trend to a spin liquid crossover and suppresses antiferromagnetic ordering in perfect Kondo lattices and spin glass ordering in doped Kondo lattices. The modified Doniach's diagram is constructed, and possibilities of going beyond the mean field approximation are discussed.Comment: 18 pages, RevTeX, 7 EPS figures include

Point-Contact Spectroscopy of Ce1−x\text{}_{1-x}REx\text{}_{x}Ni5\text{}_{5} (RE = Pr, Nd)

We report on the study of the electron-quasiparticle interaction function in Ce$\text{}_{1-x}$RE$\text{}_{x}$ Ni$\text{}_{5}$ (RE = Pr, Nd) pseudobinary compounds for x = 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, and 1 measured by means of point-contact spectroscopy. The measured point-contact spectra (d$\text{}^{2}$V/dI$\text{}^{2}$ - directly proportional to the electron- quasiparticle interaction function) of the heterocontacts between Ce$\text{}_{1-x}$ RE$\text{}_{x}$Ni$\text{}_{5}$ and Cu in the ballistic regime are presented.zapisz i

Elastic and inelastic neutron scattering on NdNi_1-xCu_x

Abstract. We construct modular Deligne-Mumford stacks Pd,g representable over Mg parametrizing Néron models of Jacobians as follows. Let B be a smooth curve and K its function field, let XK be a smooth genus-g curve over K admitting stable minimal model over B. The Néron model N(PicdXK) → B is then the base change of Pd,g via the moduli map B − → Mg of f, i.e.: N(PicdXK) ∼ = Pd,g × B. Moreover P Mg d,g is compactified by a Deligne-Mumford stack over Mg, giving a completion of Néron models naturally stratified in terms of Néron models. 0. Contents 1
