PURPOSE To study the potential combined application of gadolinium and magnetization transfer in the MR imaging of intracranial tumors. METHODS Twenty-two patients were imaged at low field strength (0.1 T). Corresponding gradient-echo partial saturation images without and with magnetization transfer pulse were produced. Images with intermediate repetition times were obtained in 18 cases; five ...

Copper ferrite films have been deposited on s100d MgO substrates by pulsed-laser deposition. The oxygen pressure used in deposition was varied from 1 to 120 mTorr with the substrate temperature fixed at 700 °C. Magnetization values are measured to increase with oxygen pressure, reaching a maximum value of 2480 G, which is a 42% increase over the bulk equilibrium value. Extended x-ray absorption...

We investigate the time-dependent Kondo effect in a single-molecule magnet (SMM) strongly coupled to metallic electrodes. Describing the SMM by a Kondo model with large spin S>1/2, we analyze the underscreening of the local moment and the effect of anisotropy terms on the relaxation dynamics of the magnetization. Underscreening by single-channel Kondo processes leads to a logarithmically slow r...

In prior work, the authors developed a method of degenerate perturbation theory about the Ising limit to derive an effective Hamiltonian describing quantum fluctuations in a half-polarized magnetization plateau on the pyrochlore lattice. Here, we extend this formulation to an arbitrary lattice of corner sharing simplexes of q sites, at a fraction (q − 2k)/q of the saturation magnetization, with...

Using the zero-temperature Metropolis dynamics, the time decay of the remanent magnetization in the ±J Edward-Anderson spin glass model with a uniform random distribution of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions has been investigated. Starting from the saturation, the magnetization per spin m reveals a slow decrease with time, which can be approximated by a power law: m(t) = m ∞ + t ...
