SDW and FISDW transition of (TMTSF)ClO at high magnetic fields
The magnetic field dependence of the SDW transition in (TMTSF)ClO for
various anion cooling rates has been measured, with the field up to 27T
parallel to the lowest conductivity direction . For quenched
(TMTSF)ClO, the SDW transition temperature increases
from 4.5K in zero field up to 8.4K at 27T. A quadratic behavior is observed
below 18T, followed by a saturation behavior. These results are consistent with
the prediction of the mean-field theory. From these behaviors,
is estimated as =13.5K for the perfect nesting case. This
indicates that the SDW phase in quenched (TMTSF)ClO, where is less than 6K, is strongly suppressed by the two-dimensionality of
the system. In the intermediate cooled state in which the SDW phase does not
appear in zero field, the transition temperature for the field-induced SDW
shows a quadratic behavior above 12T and there is no saturation behavior even
at 27T, in contrast to the FISDW phase in the relaxed state. This behavior can
probably be attributed to the difference of the dimerized gap due to anion
ordering.Comment: 4pages,5figures(EPS), accepted for publication in PR
User Experiences of Development of Dependence on the Synthetic Cannabinoids, 5f-AKB48 and 5F-PB-22, and Subsequent Withdrawal Syndromes
Emergence of synthetic cannabinoids (SCBs) in herbal smoking mixtures is a public health concern. New SCB’s such as 5f-AKB48 and 5F-PB-22 have been detected in French seizures and in sudden death post mortems in the US. The aim was to describe development of dependence on herbal smoking mixtures containing the SCB’s, 5f-AKB48 and 5F-PB-22 and subsequent withdrawal syndromes. Dependent users of herbal smoking mixtures known to contain the SCB’s 5f-AKB48 and 5F-PB-22 with an average Severity of Dependence Score (SDS) of 13 were interviewed using a structured guide (three males/three females). Narratives were analysed using the Empirical Phenomenological Psychological (EPP) five step method. Six themes with 68 categories emerged from the analysis. Themes are illustrated as 1) Networks and Product Availability; 2) Drivers and Motives for Use; 3) Effect and Pathways toward Dependence; 4) Poly Substance Use and Comparisons to Natural Cannabis; 5) Dependence and Withdrawal and 6) Self-detoxification Attempts. Two higher levels of abstraction above these theme-levels emerged from the data, with sole use of herbal smoking mixtures containing 5f-AKB48 and 5F-PB-22 centering on the interplay between intense cravings, compulsive all-consuming seeking, use and re-dose behaviours, and fear of the psychiatric and self-harms caused when in withdrawal. This is the first study describing dependence and withdrawal experiences in users dependent on 5f-AKB48 and 5F-PB-22. Given the potential for adverse psychiatric and physical consequences of dependent use, further development of specific clinical responses and clinical research around toxicity and withdrawal severity are warranted
