CVD of CrO2 Thin Films: Influence of the Deposition Parameters on their Structural and Magnetic Properties
This work reports on the synthesis of CrO2 thin films by atmospheric pressure
CVD using chromium trioxide (CrO3) and oxygen. Highly oriented (100) CrO2 films
containing highly oriented (0001) Cr2O3 were grown onto Al2O3(0001) substrates.
Films display a sharp magnetic transition at 375 K and a saturation
magnetization of 1.92 Bohr magnetons per f.u., close to the bulk value of 2
Bohr magnetons per f.u. for the CrO2.

Wind loads analysis at the anchorages of the Talavera de la Reina cable stayed bridge
This paper describes wind tunnel tests performed on wind tunnel models of the Talavera de la Reina cable stayed bridge. The work describes the aeroelastic model construction and it is focused on the evaluation and analysis of the mean and peak wind loads at the tower foundation and the cable anchorages since these data can be very useful by the bridge manufacturer as a support for the bridge design. The work is part of a complete wind tunnel study carried out to analyze the aeroelastic stability of the bridge
Broadband X-ray spectrum of the newly discovered broad line radio galaxy IGR J21247+5058
In this paper we present radio and high energy observations of the INTEGRAL
source IGR J21247+5058, a broad line emitting galaxy obscured by the Galactic
plane. Archival VLA radio data indicate that IGR J21247+5058 can be classified
as an FRII Broad Line Radio Galaxy. The spectrum between 610 MHz and 15 GHz is
typical of synchrotron self-absorbed radiation with a peak at 8 GHz and a low
energy turnover; the core fraction is 0.1 suggestive of a moderate Doppler
boosting of the base of the jet. The high energy broad-band spectrum was
obtained by combining XMM-Newton and Swift/XRT observation with INTEGRAL/IBIS
data. The 0.4-100 keV spectrum is well described by a power law, with slope
=1.5, characterised by complex absorption due to two layers of material
partially covering the source and a high energy cut-off around 70-80 keV.
Features such as a narrow iron line and a Compton reflection component, if
present, are weak, suggesting that reprocessing of the power law photons in the
accretion disk plays a negligible role in the source.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures, 3 tables, accepted for pubblication on MNRA
