Thermodynamics of Two Dimensional Magnetic Nanoparticles
A two dimensional magnetic particle in the presence of an external magnetic
field is studied. Equilibrium thermodynamical properties are derived by
evaluating analytically the partition function. When the external field is
applied perpendicular to the anisotropy axis the system exhibits a second order
phase transition with order parameter being the magnetization parallel to the
field. In this case the system is isomorph to a mechanical system consisting in
a particle moving without friction in a circle rotating about its vertical
diameter. Contrary to a paramagnetic particle, equilibrium magnetization shows
a maximum at finite temperature. We also show that uniaxial anisotropy in a
system of noninteracting particles can be missinterpreted as a ferromagnetic or
antiferromagnetic coupling among the magnetic particles depending on the angle
between anisotropy axis and magnetic field.Comment: 4 pages 6 figures 19 reference
Giant magnetoimpedance in crystalline Mumetal
We studied giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect in commercial crystalline
Mumetal, with the emphasis to sample thickness dependence and annealing
effects. By using appropriate heat treatment one can achieve GMI ratios as high
as 310%, and field sensitivity of about 20%/Oe, which is comparable to the best
GMI characteristics obtained for amorphous and nanocrystalline soft magnetic
materials.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure
Structural and magnetic study of a dilute magnetic semiconductor: Fe doped CeO2 nanoparticles
This paper reports the effect of Fe doping on the structure and room
temperature ferromagnetism of CeO2 nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction and
selective area electron diffraction measurement reflects that Ce1-xFexO2 (x =
0.0 - 0.07) nanoparticles exhibit single phase nature with cubic structure and
none of the sample showed the presence of any secondary phase. The mean
particle size calculated by using a transmission electron microscopy
measurement was found to increase with increase in Fe content. DC magnetization
measurements performed at room temperature indicates that all the samples
exhibit ferromagnetism. The saturation magnetic moment has been found to
increase with an increase in the Fe content.Comment: 16 Pages, 5 figure, 1 Table, Accepted in JN
Compositional Evolution And Magnetic Properties Of Nanocrystalline Fe 73.5cu1nb3si13.5b9
Melt-spun FeCuNbSiB ribbons were annealed at 540-550°C for various times (≤1 h). The development of a nanocrystalline structure was investigated by means of Mössbauer spectroscopy. From measured hyperfine fields and intensities the crystalline phase was inferred to be pure Fe 1-xSix, with x=0.18 after 1 h annealing. The residual amorphous volume fraction was determined to be ≅50%. With help of these results it has been possible to evaluate the amorphous contribution to magnetostriction in the nanocrystalline state. The development of a nanocrystalline structure was found to play a role in the main mechanisms of magnetic disaccommodation.711260086012Elfusa,Mineracao Jundu,Netzsc
Translesion DNA synthesis in the context of cancer research
During cell division, replication of the genomic DNA is performed by high-fidelity DNA polymerases but these error-free enzymes can not synthesize across damaged DNA. Specialized DNA polymerases, so called DNA translesion synthesis polymerases (TLS polymerases), can replicate damaged DNA thereby avoiding replication fork breakdown and subsequent chromosomal instability
Semantic Counting from Self-Collages
While recent supervised methods for reference-based object counting continue
to improve the performance on benchmark datasets, they have to rely on small
datasets due to the cost associated with manually annotating dozens of objects
in images. We propose Unsupervised Counter (UnCo), a model that can learn this
task without requiring any manual annotations. To this end, we construct
"SelfCollages", images with various pasted objects as training samples, that
provide a rich learning signal covering arbitrary object types and counts. Our
method builds on existing unsupervised representations and segmentation
techniques to successfully demonstrate the ability to count objects without
manual supervision. Our experiments show that our method not only outperforms
simple baselines and generic models such as FasterRCNN, but also matches the
performance of supervised counting models in some domains.Comment: 24 pages. Code available at

Spin canted magnetism, decoupling of charge and spin ordering in NdNiO
We report detailed magnetization measurements on the perovskite oxide
NdNiO. This system has a first order metal-insulator (M-I) transition at
about 200 K which is associated with charge ordering. There is also a
concurrent paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic spin ordering transition in the
system. We show that the antiferromagnetic state of the nickel sublattice is
spin canted. We also show that the concurrency of the charge ordering and spin
ordering transitions is seen only while warming up the system from low
temperature. The transitions are not concurrent while cooling the system
through the M-I transition temperature. This is explained based on the fact
that the charge ordering transition is first order while the spin ordering
transition is continuous. In the magnetically ordered state the system exhibits
ZFC-FC irreversibilities, as well as history-dependent magnetization and aging.
Our analysis rules out the possibility of spin-glass or superparamagnetism and
suggests that the irreversibilities originate from magnetocrystalline
anisotropy and domain wall pinning.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figure
