    Many Prussian Blue Analogues are known to show a thermally induced phase transition close to room temperature and a reversible, photo-induced phase transition at low temperatures. This work reports on magnetic measurements, X-ray photoemission and Raman spectroscopy on a particular class of these molecular heterobimetallic systems, specifically on Rb0.81Mn[Fe(CN)6]0.95_1.24H2O, Rb0.97Mn[Fe(CN)6]0.98_1.03H2O and Rb0.70Cu0.22Mn0.78[Fe(CN)6]0.86_2.05H2O, to investigate these transition phenomena both in the bulk of the material and at the sample surface. Results indicate a high degree of charge transfer in the bulk, while a substantially reduced conversion is found at the sample surface, even in case of a near perfect (Rb:Mn:Fe=1:1:1) stoichiometry. Thus, the intrinsic incompleteness of the charge transfer transition in these materials is found to be primarily due to surface reconstruction. Substitution of a large fraction of charge transfer active Mn ions by charge transfer inactive Cu ions leads to a proportional conversion reduction with respect to the maximum conversion that is still stoichiometrically possible and shows the charge transfer capability of metal centers to be quite robust upon inclusion of a neighboring impurity. Additionally, a 532 nm photo-induced metastable state, reminiscent of the high temperature Fe(III)Mn(II) ground state, is found at temperatures 50-100 K. The efficiency of photo-excitation to the metastable state is found to be maximized around 90 K. The photo-induced state is observed to relax to the low temperature Fe(II)Mn(III) ground state at a temperature of approximately 123 K.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figure

    Comissão Brasileira de Pesquisa de Trigo e Triticale (CBPTT) realiza, anualmente, o Ensaio Estadual de Cultivares de Trigo (EECT) nos Estados do Rio Grande do Sul, de Santa Catarina e na região mais fria do Paraná, visando a subsidiar as indicações de cultivares. O EECT é um ensaio cooperativo, tendo a participação das principais instituições de pesquisa com trigo no Sul do Brasil: Biotrigo, Departamento de Diagnóstico e Pesquisa Agropecuária da Secretaria da Agricultura, Pecuária e Desenvolvimento Rural (DDPA/SEAPDR), Embrapa, Epagri, FAPA, IFRS, Limagrain, OR Sementes, Setrem, UFRGS e Unijuí. O EECT é realizado em vários locais, representativos das Regiões Homogêneas de Adaptação (RHA) de Cultivares de Trigo (RHA 1RS, 2RS, 1SC, 2SC e 1PR), sendo organizado pela Embrapa Trigo em parceria com o DDPA/SEAPDR, que têm o compromisso de distribuir as sementes às instituições/empresas responsáveis pela condução dos experimentos, bem como de reunir, analisar e divulgar os dados obtidos. Esse trabalho objetiva relatar os resultados do EECT, conduzido no ano 2018
