Ga-substitution effects in the weak ferromagnetic oxide LaCoRhO
Magnetization and x-ray diffraction have been measured on polycrystalline
samples of LaCoRhGaO for in
order to understand the spin state of Co through the Ga
substitution effect. The ferromagnetic order in LaCoRhO
below 15 K is dramatically suppressed by the Ga substitution, where the
ferromagnetic volume fraction is linearly decreased. The normal state
susceptibility also systematically decreases with the Ga content, from which we
find that one Ga ion reduces 4.6 per formula unit. We have
evaluated how the concentration of the high-spin state Co changes with
temperature by using an extended Curie-Weiss law, and have found that the
substituted Rh ion stabilizes the high-spin state Co ion down to
low temperatures. We find that Ga preferentially replaces the high-spin
state Co, which makes a remarkable contrast to our previous finding that
Rh preferentially replaces the low-spin state Co. These results
strongly suggest that the magnetically excited state of LaCoO at room
temperature is a mixed state of high-spin state Co and low-spin state

Identifying Co-reference of Zibun and Caki: The Case of Reflexives in Japanese and Korean
This study examines the properties of co-reference in DPs and the Japanese reflexive zibun, and the Korean reflexive caki. We posit that the resolution of local and long distance binding ambiguity in Japanese and Korean is influenced by the case particles that mark the reflexives. Results from a truth-value judgment task showed that Japanese and Koreans not only have different binding patterns but local and long distance binding varies based on case-marked reflexives. Bonferroni post-hoc tests revealed that Japanese prefer local binding when zibun is marked by the nominative case and long distance binding for the dative and accusative cases, while the Koreans prefer long distance binding when caki is marked by the genitive, dative, and accusative cases. Overall, our results show that further studies of reflexives should closely examine the role of case markers in ambiguity resolution and also examine how native speakers parse and process ambiguous sentences
