    Anisotropic superconducting properties of aligned Sm0.95_{0.95}La0.05_{0.05}FeAsO0.85_{0.85}F0.15_{0.15} microcrystalline powder

    Full text link
    The Sm0.95_{0.95}La0.05_{0.05}FeAsO0.85_{0.85}F0.15_{0.15} compound is a quasi-2D layered superconductor with a superconducting transition temperature Tc_c = 52 K. Due to the Fe spin-orbital related anisotropic exchange coupling (antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic fluctuation), the tetragonal microcrystalline powder can be aligned at room temperature using the field-rotation method where the tetragonal ab\it{ab}-plane is parallel to the aligned magnetic field Ba_{a} and c\it{c}-axis along the rotation axis. Anisotropic superconducting properties with anisotropic diamagnetic ratio χc/χab∼\chi_{c}/\chi_{ab}\sim 2.4 + 0.6 was observed from low field susceptibility χ\chi(T) and magnetization M(Ba_{a}). The anisotropic low-field phase diagram with the variation of lower critical field gives a zero-temperature penetration depth λc\lambda_{c}(0) = 280 nm and λab\lambda_{ab}(0) = 120 nm. The magnetic fluctuation used for powder alignment at 300 K may be related with the pairing mechanism of superconductivity at lower temperature.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figure

    Coercive Field and Magnetization Deficit in Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As Epilayers

    Full text link
    We have studied the field dependence of the magnetization in epilayers of the diluted magnetic semiconductor Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As for 0.0135 < x < 0.083. Measurements of the low temperature magnetization in fields up to 3 T show a significant deficit in the total moment below that expected for full saturation of all the Mn spins. These results suggest that the spin state of the non-ferromagnetic Mn spins is energetically well separated from the ferromagnetism of the bulk of the spins. We have also studied the coercive field (Hc) as a function of temperature and Mn concentration, finding that Hc decreases with increasing Mn concentration as predicted theoretically.Comment: 15 total pages -- 5 text, 1 table, 4 figues.

    Streptococcus pneumonia (also known as pneumococcal) is a commensal that colonizes the upper respiratory tract and a pathogen that causes intrusive illnesses like otitis media, pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis. In India, the Invasive Bacterial Infection Surveillance (IBIS) organization and South Asian Pneumococcal Alliance (SAPNA) have been associated with assortment of significant information in regards to serotype dissemination and antimicrobial obstruction of pneumococcal diseases for over 12 years. COVID 19 Patients are much more prone towards this infection, if untreated at appropriate time. So development of New Device are immense Important which contributes rapid and Proper Drug Delivery to lungs. Research must be carried out in the field of Novel Drug Delivery System for target delivery of Drugs like Antibiotic, Bronchodiator and Corticosteroid to Respiratory Tract. The present Review article focus Different grade of Pneumococcal Infection and Infection associated with Post COVID Condition. The article also highlights new devices which helpful for Pulmonary drug delivery which is vital during COVID Associated Pneumococcal Infection

    Colon cancer is the second leading dreadful disease-causing death. The challenge in the colon cancer detection is the accurate identification of the lesion at the early stage such that mortality and morbidity can be reduced. In this work, a colon cancer classification method is identified out using Dragonfly-based water wave optimization (DWWO) based deep recurrent neural network. Initially, the input cancer images subjected to carry a pre-processing, in which outer artifacts are removed. The pre-processed image is forwarded for segmentation then the images are converted into segments using Generative adversarial networks (GAN). The obtained segments are forwarded for attribute selection module, where the statistical features like mean, variance, kurtosis, entropy, and textual features, like LOOP features are effectively extracted. Finally, the colon cancer classification is solved by using the deep RNN, which is trained by the proposed Dragonfly-based water wave optimization algorithm. The proposed DWWO algorithm is developed by integrating the Dragonfly algorithm and water wave optimization

    Capping-induced suppression of annealing in Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As epilayers

    Full text link
    We have studied the effects of capping ferromagnetic Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As epilayers with a thin layer of undoped GaAs, and we find that even a few monolayers of GaAs have a significant effect on the ferromagnetic properties. In particular, the presence of a capping layer only 10 monolayers thick completely suppresses the enhancement of the ferromagnetism associated with low temperature annealing. This result, which demonstrates that the surface of a Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As epilayer strongly affects the defect structure, has important implications for the incorporation of Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As into device heterostructures.Comment: 13 pages with figures attatche

    Electron-hole and plasmon excitations in 3d transition metals: Ab initio calculations and inelastic x-ray scattering measurements

    Full text link
    We report extensive all-electron time-dependent density-functional calculations and nonresonant inelastic x-ray scattering measurements of the dynamical structure factor of 3d transition metals. For small wave vectors, a plasmon peak is observed which is well described by our calculations. At large wave vectors, both theory and experiment exhibit characteristic low-energy electron-hole excitations of d character which correlate with the presence of d bands below and above the Fermi level. Our calculations, which have been carried out in the random-phase and adiabatic local-density approximations, are found to be in remarkable agreement with the measured dynamical structure factor of Sc and Cr at energies below the semicore onset energy (M-edge) of these materials.Comment: To appear in Phys.

    Exchange Biasing of the Ferromagnetic Semiconductor Ga1-xMnxAs

    Full text link
    We demonstrate the exchange coupling of a ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga1-xMnxAs) with an overgrown antiferromagnet (MnO). Unlike most conventional exchange biased systems, the blocking temperature of the antiferromagnet (T_B = 48 +- 2 K) and the Curie temperature of the ferromagnet (T_C = 55.1 +- 0.2 K) are comparable. The resulting exchange bias manifests itself as a clear shift in the magnetization hysteresis loop when the bilayer is cooled in the presence of an applied magnetic field and an enhancement of the coercive field.Comment: pdf file only; submitted to Applied Physics Letter
