The spatial profiles and the dissipation characteristics of spin-wave quasieigenmodes are investigated in small magnetic Ni81Fe19 ring structures using Brillouin light scattering microscopy. It is found, that the decay constant of a mode decreases with increasing mode frequency. Indications for a contribution of three-magnon processes to the dissipation of higher-order spin-wave quasi-eigenmode...

An Nd doped ZnO (1-5%) photocatalyst was successfully synthesized via chemical co-precipitation method. The optical property, nature, and morphology of the synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed by UV-Visible, XRD, and FESEM respectively. XRD study reveals that Nd has been effectively incorporated in the ZnO lattice in the lower level dosage; however, the crystalline nature has been distor...

Background: Anabolic-androgenic steroids are used at high doses by athletes for improving athletic ability, physical appearance and muscle mass. Unfortunately, the abuse of these agents has significantly increased. It has been established that exercise and high doses of anabolic-androgenic steroids may influence the hypothalamic- pituitary-testis axis, which can in turn affect testicular apopto...

In the title coordination polymer, [Nd(2)(C(10)H(8)O(4))(3)(H(2)O)(2)](n), each of the two Nd(III) ions is nine-coordinated by eight O atoms from six different 2,2'-(m-phenyl-ene)diacetate (pda) bivalent anions and by one O atom from a water mol-ecule, forming a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic coordination geometry. Eight Nd(III) ions and 12 pda ligands form a large [Nd(8)(pda)(12)] ring...
