Temperature-Dependent Cycloidal Magnetic Structure in GdRuAl Studied by Resonant X-ray Diffraction
We have performed resonant X-ray diffraction experiments on the
antiferromagnet GdRuAl and have clarified that the magnetic
structure in the ordered state is cycloidal with the moments lying in the
plane and propagating along the axis. The propagation vector shows a
similar temperature dependence to the magnetic order parameter, which can be
interpreted as being associated with the gap opening in the conduction band and
the resultant change in the magnetic exchange interaction. Although the
state of Gd is almost isotropic, the moments show slight preferential ordering
along the axis. The axis component in the cycloid develops with
decreasing temperature through a tiny transition in the ordered phase. We also
show that the scattering involves the - process, which is
forbidden in normal - resonance of magnetic dipole origin. We discuss
the possibility of the - resonance originating from a toroidal moment
due to the lack of inversion symmetry at the Gd site. The spin-flop transition
in a magnetic field is also described in detail.Comment: 8 pages, 11 figures, accepted for publication in J. Phys. Soc. Jp

Pontine infarction caused by medial branch injury of the basilar artery as a rare complication of cisternal drain placement
We present a rare complication of cisternal drain placement during aneurysm surgery. A ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm was clipped through a right pterional approach. A cisternal drain was inserted from the retro-carotid to the prepontine cistern. Postoperatively, a left-sided paresis of the upper extremity had developed. A CT brain scan revealed that the drain was located between the pons and the basilar artery, resulting in a pontine infarction. Vascular neurosurgeons should keep this complication in mind when placing a cisternal drain tube. The drain tube should not be inserted too deep into the prepontine cistern.ArticleJOURNAL OF CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE. 19(4):592-593 (2012)journal articl
Mapping Observations of DNC and HN^13C in Dark Cloud Cores
We present results of mapping observations of the DNC, HN^13C, and H^13CO^+
lines (J=1-0) toward 4 nearby dark cloud cores, TMC-1, L1512, L1544, and L63,
along with observations of the DNC and HN^13C lines (J=2-1) toward selected
positions. By use of statistical equilibrium calculations based on the LVG
model, the H_2 densities are derived to be (1.4-5.5)*10^5 cm^-3, and the
[DNC]/[HN^13C] ratios are derived to be 1.25-5.44 with a typical uncertainty by
a factor of 2. The observed [DNC]/[HNC] ratios range from 0.02 to 0.09,
assuming the [^12C]/[^13C] ratio of 60. Distributions of DNC and HN^13C are
generally similar to each other, whereas the distribution of H^13CO^+ is more
extended than those of DNC and HN^13C, indicating that they reside in an inner
part of the cores than HCO^+. The [DNC]/[HN^13C] ratio is rather constant
within each core, although a small systematic gradients are observed in TMC-1
and L63. Particularly, no such systematic gradient is found in L1512 and L1544,
where a significant effect of depletion of molecules is reported toward the
central part of the cores. This suggests that the [DNC]/[HNC] ratio would not
be very sensitive to depletion factor, unlike the [DCO^+]/[HCO^+] ratio. On the
other hand, the core to core variation of the [DNC]/[HNC] ratio, which range an
order of magnitude, is more remarkable than the variation within each core.
These results are interpreted qualitatively by a combination of three competing
time-dependent processes; gas-phase deuterium fractionation, depletion of
molecules onto grain surface, and dynamical evolution of a core.Comment: 22 pages, 8 EPS figures, aasLaTex 5.0, accepted to The Astrophysical
