We measured the chemical and magnetic depth profiles of a single crystalline (La(1-x)Pr(x))(1-y)Ca(y)MnO(3-δ) (x=0.52±0.05, y=0.23±0.04, δ=0.14±0.10) film grown on a NdGaO(3) substrate using x-ray reflectometry, electron microscopy, electron energy-loss spectroscopy, and polarized neutron reflectometry. Our data indicate that the film exhibits coexistence of different magnetic phases as a funct...

Starting from a spin-orbital model for doped manganites, we investigate a competition between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order in a one-dimensional model at finite temperature. The magnetic and orbital order at half filling support each other and depend on a small antiferromagnetic superexchange between t2g spins and on an alternating Jahn-Teller potential. The crossover to a metallic ...

In this paper, an energetic coordination compound namely pentamminenitratocobalt(III) nitrate, [Co(NH3)5(NO3)](NO3)2, was used as a new precursor for the preparation of Co3O4 nanoparticles. The results showed that the complex is easily decomposed into the Co3O4 nanoparticles at low temperature (200 °C) without employing a surfactant or solvent and any complicated equipment. The product was char...

We report superconducting phase-periodic conductance oscillations in ferromagnetic wires with interfaces to conventional superconductors. The ferromagnetic wires were made of Ho, a conical ferromagnet. The distance between the interfaces was much larger than the singlet superconducting penetration depth. We explain the observed oscillations as due to the long-range penetration of an unusual hel...

We address the problem of ”phantom” folding of the tethered membrane modelled by the two-dimensional square lattice, with bonds on the edges and diagonals of each face. Introducing bending rigidities K1 and K2 for respectively long and short bonds, we derive the complete phase diagram of the model, using transfer matrix calculations. The latter displays two transition curves, one corresponding ...

in this paper, we introduce the idea of generalized relative order (respectively generalized relative lower order) of entire functions of two complex variables. hence, we study some growth properties of entire functions of two complex variables on the basis of the definition of generalized relative order and generalized relative lower order of entire functions of two complex variables.
