    Neutron powder diffraction and MĂśssbauer spectroscopy (119Sn and 155Gd) studies of the CeScSi-type GdMgSn and GdMgPb compounds

    No full text
    International audienceThe magnetic structures of the CeScSi-type GdMgSn and GdMgPb compounds have been studied by both neutron powder diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy (119Sn and 155Gd). The neutron diffraction results show that the two compounds adopt incommensurate antiferromagnetic structures at 5.4 K with propagation vectors k⃗ =[0.910,0.077,0] for GdMgSn and k⃗ =[0.892,0,0] for GdMgPb. The magnetic moments lie in the basal plane, which is confirmed by both 119Sn and 155Gd Mössbauer spectroscopy. Mössbauer spectroscopy refinements and simulations reveal that the magnetic structure of GdMgSn is cycloidal at low temperature and undergoes a transition to a modulated magnetic structure above T∼40 K. A similar magnetic transition is inferred for GdMgPb. The magnetic structures of GdMgSn and GdMgPb are compared with those of other CeScSi-type compounds

    Document recommendation systems for locating relevant literature have mostly relied on methods developed a decade ago. This is largely due to the lack of a large offline gold-standard benchmark of relevant documents that cover a variety of research fields such that newly developed literature search techniques can be compared, improved and translated into practice. To overcome this bottleneck, we have established the RElevant LIterature SearcH consortium consisting of more than 1500 scientists from 84 countries, who have collectively annotated the relevance of over 180 000 PubMed-listed articles with regard to their respective seed (input) article/s. The majority of annotations were contributed by highly experienced, original authors of the seed articles. The collected data cover 76% of all unique PubMed Medical Subject Headings descriptors. No systematic biases were observed across different experience levels, research fields or time spent on annotations. More importantly, annotations of the same document pairs contributed by different scientists were highly concordant. We further show that the three representative baseline methods used to generate recommended articles for evaluation (Okapi Best Matching 25, Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency and PubMed Related Articles) had similar overall performances. Additionally, we found that these methods each tend to produce distinct collections of recommended articles, suggesting that a hybrid method may be required to completely capture all relevant articles. The established database server located at https://relishdb.ict.griffith.edu.au is freely available for the downloading of annotation data and the blind testing of new methods. We expect that this benchmark will be useful for stimulating the development of new powerful techniques for title and title/abstract-based search engines for relevant articles in biomedical research.Peer reviewe

    Ferrimagnetism in GdCo12-xFexB6

    No full text
    International audienceThe effects of iron substitution on the structural and magnetic properties of the GdCo12-xFexB6 (0 <= x <= 3) series of compounds have been studied. All of the compounds form in the rhombohedral SrNi12B6-type structure and exhibit ferrimagnetic behaviour below room temperature: T-C decreases from 158 K for x = 0 to 93 K for x = 3. Gd-155 Mossbauer spectroscopy indicates that the easy magnetization axis changes from axial to basal-plane upon substitution of Fe for Co. This observation has been confirmed using neutron powder diffraction. The axial to basal-plane transition is remarkably sensitive to the Fe content and comparison with earlier Fe-57-doping studies suggests that the boundary lies below x = 0.1

    Extreme doping sensitivity of the ordering direction in GdCo12-xFexB6

    No full text
    International audienceGd-155 Mossbauer spectroscopy has been used to investigate the magnetic ordering direction of GdCo12-xFexB6 (0 <= x <= 3) at 5K. The moment orientation was found to be extremely sensitive to doping with as little as similar to 4% Fe doping (0.5 Fe/f.u.) causing the moment orientation to change from the c-axis to the basal plane. Including results from earlier Fe-57-doping work suggests that the axial-basal boundary may lie below 0.5% Fe doping (similar to 0.06 Fe/f.u.). As the ordering directions for the other R Co12B6 compounds have all been derived from Fe-57-doped samples, a re-evaluation of these compounds may be necessary

    Calculating the distribution of transferred hyperfine fields at the Sn site in tetragonal CeScSi-type RMgSn compounds

    No full text
    11 pagesInternational audienceWe present a simple model based on an isotropic transferred hyperfine field to calculate the transferred hyperfine field distribution at the Sn site of the antiferromagnetic CeScSi-type RMgSn compounds. The calculations correctly reproduce the main features observed in NdMgSn, TbMgSn, DyMgSn, HoMgSn, and ErMgSn. The transferred hyperfine field distributions are remarkably sensitive to the complex magnetic structures in the RMgSn compounds, and can be used to discriminate between competing magnetic structure models

    Outcomes in Newly Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation and History of Acute Coronary Syndromes: Insights from GARFIELD-AF

    No full text
    BACKGROUND: Many patients with atrial fibrillation have concomitant coronary artery disease with or without acute coronary syndromes and are in need of additional antithrombotic therapy. There are few data on the long-term clinical outcome of atrial fibrillation patients with a history of acute coronary syndrome. This is a 2-year study of atrial fibrillation patients with or without a history of acute coronary syndromes

    Measurement of the Drell-Yan cross section in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV

    No full text
    The Drell-Yan differential cross section is measured in pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV, from a data sample collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb(-1). The cross section measurement, normalized to the measured cross section in the Z region, is reported for both the dimuon and dielectron channels in the dilepton invariant mass range 15-600 GeV. The normalized cross section values are quoted both in the full phase space and within the detector acceptance. The effect of final state radiation is also identified. The results are found to agree with theoretical predictions.
