Novel Magnetic and Thermodynamic Properties of Thiospinel Compound CuCrZrS
We have carried out dc magnetic susceptibility, magnetization and specific
heat measurements on thiospinel CuCrZrS. Below 58 K, dc
magnetic susceptibility and magnetization data show ferromagnetic behavior with
a small spontaneous magnetization 0.27 f. u..
In dc magnetic susceptibility, large and weak irreversibilities are observed
below 6 K and in the range
respectively.
We found that there is no anomaly as a peak or step in the specific heat at

Electronic Structures of Fe_x$Si Probed by Photoemission Spectroscopy
The electronic structures of the Heusler type compounds Fe_x$Si in
the concentration range between x = 0 and x = 1 have been probed by
photoemission spectroscopy (PES). The observed shift of Si 2p core- level and
the main valence band structres indicate a chemical potential shift to higher
energy with increasing x. It is also clarified that the density of state at
Fermi edge is owing to the collaboration of V 3d and Fe 3d derived states.
Besides the decrease of the spectral intensity near Fermi edge with increasing
x suggests the formation of pseudo gap at large x.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, 5 reference
Thermal Strain and Magnetization Studies of the Ferromagnetic Heusler Shape Memory Alloys Ni2MnGa and the Effect of Selective Substitution in 3d Elements on the Structural and Magnetic Phase
Magnetic properties of Ni2.18Mn0.82Ga Heusler alloys with a coupled magnetostructural transition
Polycrystalline Ni2.18Mn0.82Ga Heusler alloys with a coupled
magnetostructural transition are studied by differential scanning calorimetry,
magnetic and resistivity measurements. Coupling of the magnetic and structural
subsystems results in unusual magnetic features of the alloy. These uncommon
magnetic properties of Ni2.18Mn0.82Ga are attributed to the first-order
structural transition from a tetragonal ferromagnetic to a cubic paramagnetic
phase.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, revtex
Carrier-mediated ferromagnetic ordering in Mn ion-implanted p+GaAs:C
Highly p-type GaAs:C was ion-implanted with Mn at differing doses to produce
Mn concentrations in the 1 - 5 at.% range. In comparison to LT-GaAs and
n+GaAs:Si samples implanted under the same conditions, transport and magnetic
properties show marked differences. Transport measurements show anomalies,
consistent with observed magnetic properties and with epi- LT-(Ga,Mn)As, as
well as the extraordinary Hall Effect up to the observed magnetic ordering
temperature (T_C). Mn ion-implanted p+GaAs:C with as-grown carrier
concentrations > 10^20 cm^-3 show remanent magnetization up to 280 K
Measurement and comparison of individual external doses of high-school students living in Japan, France, Poland and Belarus -- the "D-shuttle" project --
Twelve high schools in Japan (of which six are in Fukushima Prefecture), four
in France, eight in Poland and two in Belarus cooperated in the measurement and
comparison of individual external doses in 2014. In total 216 high-school
students and teachers participated in the study. Each participant wore an
electronic personal dosimeter "D-shuttle" for two weeks, and kept a journal of
his/her whereabouts and activities. The distributions of annual external doses
estimated for each region overlap with each other, demonstrating that the
personal external individual doses in locations where residence is currently
allowed in Fukushima Prefecture and in Belarus are well within the range of
estimated annual doses due to the background radiation level of other
regions/countries
Characterization of biomolecular nanoconjugates by high-throughput delivery and spectroscopic difference
Nanoparticle conjugates have the potential for delivering siRNA, splice-shifting oligomers or nucleic acid vaccines, and can be applicable to anticancer therapeutics. This article compares tripartite conjugates with gold nanoparticles or synthetic methoxypoly(ethylene glycol)-block-polyamidoamine dendrimers
Role of Electronic Structure in the Martensitic Phase Transition of Ni_2Mn_<1-x>Sn_<1-x> Studied by Hard-X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Ab Initio Calculation
We have revealed the underlying mechanism of the martensitic phase transition (MPT) in a new class of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys, Ni2Mn1+xSn1-x, by the combination of bulk-sensitive hard-x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and a first-principles density-functional calculation. The Ni 3d eg state in the cubic phase systematically shifts towards the Fermi energy with an increase in the number of Mn atoms substituted in the Sn sites. An abrupt decrease of the intensity of the Ni 3d eg states upon MPT for x=0.36–0.42 has been observed in the vicinity of the Fermi level. The energy shift of the Ni 3d minority-spin eg state in the cubic phase originates from hybridization with the antiferromagnetically coupled Mn in the Sn site. Below the MPT temperature, the Ni 3d state splits into two levels located below and above the Fermi energy in order to achieve an energetically stable state
