Synopsis We review the results of recent studies of the elastic and inelastic neutron scattering from a variety of heavy fermion compounds. This class of materials exhibits a rich variety of ground states: an-tiferromagnetically ordered, superconducting, semiconducting, and paramagnetic. Neutron scattering from single crystals and powders has been a productive tool for probing the magnetic orde...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of dilution of paramagnetic contrast agent with iodinated contrast and xylocaine on the signal intensity during magnetic resonance arthrography, and to improve the paramagnetic contrast agent concentration utilized in this imaging modality. MATERIALS AND METHODS Samples specially prepared for the study with three different concentrations of paramagnetic co...

The paramagnetic resonance of a spin-label attached to a protein in solution, or in a single crystal, depends on static as well as on the dynamic features of its molecular environment.' This conformation-dependent paramagnetic resonance offers the possibility of relating structural properties of proteins in single crystals to those in solutions. The present paper is a brief report of a study of...

Ionic liquids (ILs) on the basis of metal containing anions and/or cations are of interest for a variety of technical applications e.g., synthesis of particles, magnetic or thermochromic materials. We present the synthesis and the results of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic analyses of a series of some new potential ionic liquids based on tetrachloridocuprates(II), [CuCl(4)](...

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy's affinity for detecting paramagnetic free radicals, or spins, has been increasingly employed to examine a large variety of biochemical interactions. Such paramagnetic species are broadly found in nature and can be intrinsic (defects in solid-state materials systems, electron/hole pairs, stable radicals in proteins) or, more often, purposefully introdu...

A review of the technique of measuring the spin polarization P of photoemitted electrons and of results of measurements from a variety of magnetic materials is presented. Photoelectric magnetization curves are obtained by measuring P as a function of applied magnetic field, while measuring P as a function of photon energy gives a spectrum of spin polarization which locates magnetic states in an...

Nanocomposites of metal oxides with graphene oxide and other carbon materials have shown superior catalytic activities in many important chemical reactions. A systematic investigation the effect Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn, on sulfonated (GO) is detailed in present paper. The nanocomposites GO were prepared under carefully chosen conditions so that content nanocomposites remains similar. used ...

As quantum mechanics ventures into the world of applications and engineering, materials science faces the necessity to design matter to quantum grade purity. For such materials, quantum effects define their physical behaviour and open completely new (quantum) perspectives for applications. Carbon-based materials are particularly good examples, highlighted by the fascinating quantum properties o...
