Short-range magnetic correlations in Tb5Ge4
We present a single crystal neutron diffraction study of the magnetic
short-range correlations in TbGe which orders antiferromagnetically
below the Neel temperature 92 K. Strong diffuse scattering
arising from magnetic short-range correlations was observed in wide temperature
ranges both below and above . The antiferromagnetic ordering in
TbGe can be described as strongly coupled ferromagnetic block layers in
the -plane that stack along the b-axis with weak antiferromagnetic
inter-layer coupling. Diffuse scattering was observed along both and
directions indicating three-dimensional short-range correlations.
Moreover, the -dependence of the diffuse scattering is Squared-Lorentzian in
form suggesting a strongly clustered magnetic state that may be related to the
proposed Griffiths-like phase in GdGe.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Far Infrared Prperties of M Dwarfs
We report the mid- and far-infrared properties of nearby M dwarfs.
Spitzer/MIPS measurements were obtained for a sample of 62 stars at 24 um, with
subsamples of 41 and 20 stars observed at 70 um and 160 um respectively. We
compare the results with current models of M star photospheres and look for
indications of circumstellar dust in the form of significant deviations of
K-[24 um] colors and 70 um / 24 um flux ratios from the average M star values.
At 24 um, all 62 of the targets were detected; 70 um detections were achieved
for 20 targets in the subsample observed; and no detections were seen in the
160 um subsample. No clear far-infrared excesses were detected in our sample.
The average far infrared excess relative to the photospheric emission of the M
stars is at least four times smaller than the similar average for a sample of
solar-type stars. However, this limit allows the average fractional infrared
luminosity in the M-star sample to be similar to that for more massive stars.
We have also set low limits for the maximum mass of dust possible around our
stars.Comment: 28 pages, 4 figures, to be published in The Astrophysical Journa
Quark spin coupling in baryons - revisited
A direct connection can be made between mixing angles in negative parity
baryons and the spin coupling of constituent quarks. The mixing angles do not
depend on spectral data. These angles are recalculated for gluon exchange and
pion exchange between quarks. For pion exchange the results of Glozman and
Riska are corrected. The experimental data on mixing are very similar to those
derived from gluon exchange but substantially different from the values
obtained for pion exchange.Comment: 10 pages, RevTex; a sign error is corrected, spin-orbit results are

Short-range anisotropic ferromagnetic correlations in the paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases of Gd5Ge4
Signatures of short range anisotropic ferromagnetic correlations and ferromagnetic clustering, manifested as unusually large hysteresis and other anomalies of the low magnetic field dc magnetization and ac magnetic susceptibility, have been observed in both the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic states of single crystal Gd5Ge4. Ferromagnetic correlations, which are most pronounced in a weak magnetic field applied along the b axis, are readily suppressed by fields exceeding ∼5 kOe and are believed to be related to a Griffiths-like phase that develops in Gd5Ge4 below TG≅240 K
