Weak Ferromagnetism in LaCo1-xRhxO3: Anomalous Magnetism Emerging between Two Nonmagnetic End Phases
Magnetization has been measured for polycrystalline samples of LaCo1-xRhxO3
(0 {\leq} x {\leq} 0.9) in order to investigate magnetism induced in the solid
solution of two nonmagnetic end phases of LaCoO3 and LaRhO3. It is found that a
ferromagnetic transition is observed below 15 K in the range of x from 0.1 to
0.4. The effective Bohr magnetic moment evaluated from the temperature
dependence of magnetic susceptibility at around room temperature is independent
of x for 0 < x < 0.5 (approximately 3 {\mu}B per formula unit), and rapidly
decreases above x = 0.5. On the basis of detailed magnetization measurements,
the spin state and magnetic ordering of LaCo1-xRhxO3 are discussed.Comment: 16 pages, 6 figures, to be published in J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Photoinduced Phase Transition in Pr 0.5
A perovskite-type cobalt oxide, (PCCO), shows photoinduced phase transition. In this study, we successively irradiated two laser pulses with different intensities to PCCO and probed the transient change of the reflection at 2.0 eV. Assuming propagation of the two different photoinduced metallic states, we could reproduce the time profiles as well as the magnitude in the reflectance change, indicating the fabrication of the photoinduced multilayered thin film in

69601.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access)OBJECTIVE: To investigate the age-dependent morphology of the periodontal ligament (PDL) tissue and changes in its surface area (SA) during force application provided with a standardized orthodontic setup for a period of 12 weeks in young and adult rats. METHODS: Two groups of 30 rats, age 6 weeks and 9 to 12 months, were used. Orthodontic appliances were placed to move the maxillary molars mesially with the contralateral sides used as controls. At 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks, groups of animals were killed. The PDL SA and the PDL SA ratio between pressure and tension regions were determined. RESULTS: An age-related decrease in the PDL SA was noted at control sides. Significant changes during the experimental period occurred only at experimental sides: The PDL SA was smaller at pressure than at tension regions only at week 1 in young rats; in adult rats, the difference between the two regions was significant at week 8. These changes were confirmed by the morphologic disorganization of the PDL and alterations in the PDL SA ratio. CONCLUSIONS: During force application, the PDL at the pressure regions became disorganized and subsequently was reorganized, as is shown by the histologic changes and SA of the PDL over time. This process occurred earlier and was more prominent in young rats; it occurred later and was more prolonged in adult animals
