In vitro renal calculi destruction by a high-frequency glow discharge plasma.

Despite the progress made in the treatment of nephrolithiasis, the existing methods of renal calculi destruction are not ideal and have both advantages and disadvantages. Considering the process of high-frequency glow discharge formation on the surface of an electrode and in an electrolyte solution, we obtained the results on the destruction of renal calculi in vitro. It was shown that the destruction of kidney stones by glow discharge plasma was caused by several processes-the plasma induced effect of hydrated electrons and shock wave effect of the electrolyte stimulated by electrical breakdowns in the plasma.

Quantum Phases of SrCu_{2}(BO_{3})_{2} from High-Pressure Thermodynamics.

We report heat capacity measurements of SrCu_{2}(BO_{3})_{2} under high pressure along with simulations of relevant quantum spin models and map out the (P,T) phase diagram of the material. We find a first-order quantum phase transition between the low-pressure quantum dimer paramagnet and a phase with signatures of a plaquette-singlet state below T=2  K. At higher pressures, we observe a transition into a previously unknown antiferromagnetic state below 4 K.

Observation of a bi-critical point between antiferromagnetic and superconducting phases in pressurized single crystal CaLaFeAs.

One of the most strikingly universal features of the high-temperature superconductors is that the superconducting phase emerges in the close proximity of the antiferromagnetic phase, and the interplay between these two phases poses a long-standing challenge. It is commonly believed that, as the antiferromagnetic transition temperature is continuously suppressed to zero, there appears a quantum critical point, around which the existence of antiferromagnetic fluctuation is responsible for the development of the superconductivity. In contrast to this scenario, we report the observation of a bi-critical point identified at 2.

Correlation between superconductivity and bond angle of CrAs chain in non-centrosymmetric compounds ACrAs (A = K, Rb).

Non-centrosymmetric superconductors, whose crystal structure is absent of inversion symmetry, have recently received special attentions due to the expectation of unconventional pairings and exotic physics associated with such pairings. The newly discovered superconductors ACrAs (A = K, Rb), featured by the quasi-one dimensional structure with conducting CrAs chains, belongs to such kind of superconductor. In this study, we are the first to report the finding that superconductivity of ACrAs (A = K, Rb) has a positive correlation with the extent of non-centrosymmetry.

Thermal expansion of monogermanides of 3d-metals.

Temperature dependent powder and single-crystal synchrotron diffraction, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and small-angle neutron scattering experiments have revealed an anomalous response of MnGe. The anomaly becomes smeared out with decreasing Mn content in Mn1-x Co x Ge and Mn1-x Fe x Ge solid solutions. Mn spin state instability is discussed as a possible candidate for the observed effects.

Global and local superconductivity in boron-doped granular diamond.

Strong granularity-correlated and intragrain modulations of the superconducting order parameter are demonstrated in heavily boron-doped diamond situated not yet in the vicinity of the metal-insulator transition. These modulations at the superconducting state (SC) and at the global normal state (NS) above the resistive superconducting transition, reveal that local Cooper pairing sets in prior to the global phase coherence.

Textured superconducting phase in the heavy fermion CeRhIn5.

When antiferromagnetism and unconventional superconductivity coexist in CeRhIn(5) there is a significant temperature difference between resistively and thermodynamically determined transitions into the superconducting state. In this state, anisotropic transport near the superconducting transition reveals the emergence of textured superconducting planes that appear without a change in translational symmetry of the lattice. CeRhIn(5) is not unique in exhibiting these behaviors, indicating that textured superconductivity may be a general consequence of coexisting orders in correlated electron materials.

Pressure-dependent electrical resistivity and ac-calorimetry measurements on single crystals of the heavy-fermion antiferromagnet U(2)Zn(17) at pressures to 5.5 GPa reveal that the low temperature magnetic order changes above ∼3 GPa. The Neél temperature (T(N) = 9.

Unconventional quantum criticality in the pressure-induced heavy-fermion superconductor CeRhIn₅.

The lack of superconductivity in several candidate materials that exhibit a non-spin density wave quantum critical point has raised the question of whether the associated spectra of quantum fluctuations are beneficial to forming superconducting electron pairs. Here we discuss the possibility that the prototypical heavy-fermion antiferromagnet CeRhIn5 may be the first example of unconventional superconductors where superconductivity arises from Kondo-breakdown quantum criticality.

Interplay between magnetism and superconductivity and the appearance of a second superconducting transition in α-FeSe at high pressure.

We synthesized tetragonal α-FeSe by melting a powder mixture of iron and selenium at high pressure. Subsequent annealing at normal pressure results in removing traces of hexagonal β-FeSe, formation of a rather sharp transition to a superconducting state at T(c)∼7 K, and the appearance of a magnetic transition near T(M) = 120 K. Resistivity and ac-susceptibility were measured on the annealed sample at hydrostatic pressure up to 4.

Molecular recognition of organic vapors by adamantylcalix[4]arene in QCM sensor using partial binding reversibility.

The parameters of stability, guest binding reversibility, and Gibbs energy of guest inclusion were determined for clathrates of adamantylcalix[4]arene (1). These data provide a new insight into the structure-property relationships in vapor sensor applications of clathrate-forming hosts. A thin layer of 1, used in the quartz microbalance (QCM) sensor, demonstrates a selectivity for organic vapors, which depends on the regeneration technique after the guest binding.

Structure and superconductivity of isotope-enriched boron-doped diamond.

Superconducting boron-doped diamond samples were synthesized with isotopes of B, B, C and C. We claim the presence of a carbon isotope effect on the superconducting transition temperature, which supports the 'diamond-carbon'-related nature of superconductivity and the importance of the electron-phonon interaction as the mechanism of superconductivity in diamond. Isotope substitution permits us to relate almost all bands in the Raman spectra of heavily boron-doped diamond to the vibrations of carbon atoms.
