Discontinuous metal}insulator multilayers [Co Fe (t)/Al O (3 nm)] are prepared by ion-beam sputtering and investigated by SQUID magnetometry and AC susceptometry. For 1.0)t)1.6 nm, two coexisting subsystems of dipolar coupled nanoparticles are encountered. While a spin-glass-like freezing particulate fraction dominates at t"1.0 nm, a percolating dipolar ferromagnetic fraction becomes increasing...

The combination of two or more unsaturated structural units to form cyclic organic compounds is commonly referred to as cycloaddition, and the combination of two unsaturated structural units that forms a six-membered ring is formally either a [5 + 1]-, [4 + 2]-, [2 + 2 + 2]-, or [3 + 3]-cycloaddition. Occurring as concerted or stepwise processes, cycloaddition reactions are among the most usefu...

We demonstrate the experimental feasibility of incompressible fractional quantum Hall-like states in ultracold two-dimensional rapidly rotating dipolar Fermi gases. In particular, we argue that the state of the system at filling fraction nu = 1/3 is well described by the Laughlin wave function and find a substantial energy gap in the quasiparticle excitation spectrum. Dipolar gases, therefore, ...

We examine the effects of long-range dipolar forces on metamagnetic transitions and generalize the theory of Condon domains to the case of an itinerant electron system undergoing a first-order metamagnetic transition. We demonstrate that, within a finite range of the applied field, dipolar interactions induce a spatial modulation of the magnetization in the form of stripes or bubbles. Our findi...

Indoles substituted by electron-depleted thio groups at positions 1 and 3 react as C2 = C3 dipolarophiles with an electron-rich azomethine ylide dipole under flow conditions. The dearomatizing (3 + 2) cycloadditions readily occur to afford the corresponding fluorinated 3D-pyrrolidinoindolines bearing a tetrasusbtituted carbon centre ring junction.

BACKGROUND Principal component analysis (PCA) of the T-wave has been demonstrated to quantify the dipolar and not-dipolar components of the ventricular activation, the latter reflecting repolarization heterogeneity. Accordingly, the PCA of the P-wave could help in analyzing the heterogeneous propagation of sinus impulses in the atria, which seems to predispose to fibrillation. AIM The aim of ...

A novel bifunctionalized [3]rotaxane based on a triptycene-derived macrotricyclic host was conveniently synthesized. On the basis of the [3]rotaxane, a linear main-chain poly[3]rotaxane was further obtained by the highly efficient Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition.
