Multifunctional Magnetoelectric Materials for Device Applications
Mutiferroics are a novel class of next generation multifunctional materials,
which display simultaneous magnetic spin, electric dipole, and ferroelastic
ordering, and have drawn increasing interest due to their multi-functionality
for a variety of device applications. Since single-phase materials exist rarely
in nature with such cross-coupling properties, an intensive research activity
is being pursued towards the discovery of new single-phase multiferroic
materials and the design of new engineered materials with strong
magneto-electric (ME) coupling. This review article summarizes the development
of different kinds of multiferroic material: single-phase and composite
ceramic, laminated composite, and nanostructured thin films. Thin-film
nanostructures have higher magnitude direct ME coupling values and clear
evidence of indirect ME coupling compared with bulk materials. Promising ME
coupling coefficients have been reported in laminated composite materials in
which signal to noise ratio is good for device fabrication. We describe the
possible applications of these materials
Does Internet Banking Affect the Performance of Community Banks?

and bifurcations in rotational bands of diatomic molecules
It is shown that the recently observed bifurcation seen in
superdeformed nuclear bands is also occurring in rotational bands of diatomic
molecules. In addition, signs of a bifurcation, of the same order
of magnitude as the one, are observed both in superdeformed
nuclear bands and rotational bands of diatomic molecules.Comment: LaTex twice, 10 pages and 5 PS figures provided upon demand by the

Confusing Sterile Neutrinos with Deviation from Tribimaximal Mixing at Neutrino Telescopes
We expound the impact of extra sterile species on the ultra high energy
neutrino fluxes in neutrino telescopes. We use three types of well-known flux
ratios and compare the values of these flux ratios in presence of sterile
neutrinos, with those predicted by deviation from the tribimaximal mixing
scheme. We show that in the upcoming neutrino telescopes, its easy to confuse
between the signature of sterile neutrinos with that of the deviation from
tribimaximal mixing. We also show that if the measured flux ratios acquire a
value well outside the range predicted by the standard scenario with three
active neutrinos only, it might be possible to tell the presence of extra
sterile neutrinos by observing ultra high energy neutrinos in future neutrino
telescopes.Comment: 22 pages, version to appear in Phys. Rev.
