Crystallographic and magnetic structure of RbCoCl3 · 2 D2O
The crystallographic and magnetic structure of RbCoCl3 · 2 D2O were determined mainly by means of neutron diffraction measurements. Below TN = 2.79 K the magnetic moments are ordered in a canted antiferromagnetic pattern. A meta-magnetic phase transition is observed at unusually small field values (H = 18 Oe at T = 2 K)

XT: a bundle of program transformation tools : system description
{sc xt bundles existing and newly developed program transformation libraries and tools into an open framework that supports component-based development of program transformations. We discuss the roles of {sc xt's constituents in the development process of program transformation tools, as well as some experiences with building program transformation systems with {sc xt. <pr

Structural and magnetic properties of Fe/ZnSe(001) interfaces
We have performed first principles electronic structure calculations to
investigate the structural and magnetic properties of Fe/ZnSe(001) interfaces.
Calculations involving full geometry optimizations have been carried out for a
broad range of thickness of Fe layers(0.5 monolayer to 10 monolayers) on top of
a ZnSe(001) substrate. Both Zn and Se terminated interfaces have been explored.
Total energy calculations show that Se segregates at the surface which is in
agreement with recent experiments.
For both Zn and Se terminations, the interface Fe magnetic moments are higher
than the bulk bcc Fe moment.
We have also investigated the effect of adding Fe atoms on top of a
reconstructed ZnSe surface to explore the role of reconstruction of
semiconductor surfaces in determining properties of metal-semiconductor
interfaces. Fe breaks the Se dimer bond formed for a Se-rich (2x1)
reconstructed surface. Finally, we looked at the reverse growth i.e. growth of
Zn and Se atoms on a bcc Fe(001) substrate to investigate the properties of the
second interface of a magnetotunnel junction. The results are in good agreement
with the theoretical and experimental results, wherever available.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figures, accepted for publication in PR

Electron microscopy of nanoparticle superlattice formation at a solid-liquid interface in nonpolar liquids
Nanoparticle superlattice films form at the solid-liquid interface and are important for mesoscale materials, but are notoriously difficult to analyze before they are fully dried. Here, the early stages of nanoparticle assembly were studied at solid-liquid interfaces using liquid-phase electron microscopy. Oleylamine-stabilized gold nanoparticles spontaneously formed thin layers on a silicon nitride (SiN) membrane window of the liquid enclosure. Dense packings of hexagonal symmetry were obtained for the first monolayer independent of the nonpolar solvent type. The second layer, however, exhibited geometries ranging from dense packing in a hexagonal honeycomb structure to quasi-crystalline particle arrangements depending on the dielectric constant of the liquid. The complex structures formed by the weaker interactions in the second particle layer were preserved, while the surface remained immersed in liquid. Fine-tuning the properties of the involved materials can thus be used to control the three-dimensional geometry of a superlattice including quasi-crystals
