Ferromagnetism in partially oxidized CuCl
نویسندگان
چکیده
A search for superconductivity in systems of CuCl/Si and CuCl2/Si leads to the observation of ferromagnetism with a Tc of 18 K in powder samples. The magnetism emerges when pure CuCl is exposed to humid air, while the observed magnetic moment depends on the exposure level. We used magnetic field modulated microwave spectroscopy, as well as SQUID magnetometry, to identify magnetic phase transitions as a function of temperature. Crystallographic phase information of partially oxidized CuCl specimens is obtained via x-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement. Transition temperature and moment are found to be unmatched with transitions in CuCl based compounds reported to date. & 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Direct synthesis of partially ordered tetragonally structured FePt nanoparticles by polyol method for biomedical application
We report the direct soft chemical synthesis and characterization of a family of face centered cubic (fcc) and partially ordered face centered tetragonal (fct) FePt nanoparticles (NPs) suitable for biomedical applications. Both fcc and partially ordered fct-FePt NPs are synthesized by employing a simple polyol method. By using polyvinyl pyrolidone (PVP) as a stabilizer in various ratios during ...

متن کاملCu2+ and acute thermal stress induce protective events via the p38-MAPK signalling pathway in the perfused Rana ridibunda heart.
In the present study, we investigated the induction of the p38-MAPK signalling pathway by copper, as exemplified by CuCl(2), in the isolated perfused heart of the amphibian Rana ridibunda. We found that p38-MAPK phosphorylation by CuCl(2) occurs in a dose-dependent manner, with maximum activation (8.73+/-1.43-fold relative to control values) attained by perfusion with 500 micromol l(-1) CuCl(2)...
متن کاملFerromagnetism in single-band Hubbard models with a partially flat band
A Hubbard model with a single, partially flat band has ferromagnetic ground states. It is shown that local stability of ferromagnetism implies its global stability in such a model: The model has only ferromagnetic ground states if there are no single spin-flip ground states. Since a single-band Hubbard model away from half filling describes a metal, this result may open a route to metallic ferr...
متن کاملEthylene production by auxin-deprived, suspension-cultured pear fruit cells in response to auxins, stress, or precursor.
Auxin-deprived, mannitol-supplemented, suspension-cultured pear (Pyrus communis L. Passe Crassane) fruit cells produce large quantities (20-40 nanoliters ethylene per 10(6) cells per hour) of ethylene in response to auxins, CuCl(2) or 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). Maximum rates of production are achieved about 12 hours after the addition of optimal amounts of indoleacetic acid (...
