2,000 Families: identifying the research potential of an origins-of-migration study
Despite recent advances, critical areas in the analysis of European migration remain underdeveloped. We have only a limited understanding of the consequences of migration for migrants and their descendants, relative to staying behind; and our insights of intergenerational transmission is limited to two generations of those living in the destination countries. These limitations stem from a paucity of studies that incorporate comparison with non-migrants – and return migrants – in countries of origin and which trace processes of intergenerational transmission over multiple generations. This paper outlines the theoretical and methodological discussions in the field, design and data of the 2,000 Families study. The study comprises almost 50,000 members of migrant and non-migrant Turkish families across three family generations, living in Turkey and eight European countries. We provide indicative findings from the study, framed within a theoretical perspective of “dissimilation” from origins, and reflect on its potential for future migration research
Hysteretic behaviour in a vacuum deposited submonolayer of single ion magnets
With element-specific X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism we have investigated submonolayer coverages of TbPc2 and DyPc2 molecules sublimated on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite. We have studied the field dependence of the magnetization of the central lanthanide ion at very low temperatures. Even in zero applied magnetic field we still observe a remanence in the magnetization. Since there are neither intermolecular coupling nor magnetic interactions with the substrate, this remanent behaviour results just from single-ion anisotropy. On the very inert surface of graphite at temperatures between 0.5 K and 2 K the spin relaxation is slow enough to observe a memory effect in the timescale of the experimental measurements
Migration und Familie
Dieses Kapital widmet sich der Familie im Kontext von Migration, Integrationund Teilhabe. Es thematisiert nach einem Überblick zur Definition und Funktionvon Familie theoretische und empirische Befunde zur Rolle der Familie bei derMigrationsentscheidung und zur Familienmigration, zu den familialen Prozessender Partnerwahl und des generativen Verhaltens sowie zur Bedeutung der Familieim Integrations- und Minoritätskontext und geht dabei auch auf die transnationaleEinbettung von Familien mit Zuwanderungsgeschichte ei
