Published: August 2000

NMR and magnetization measurements in Li2VOSiO4 and Li2VOGeO4 are reported. The analysis of the susceptibility shows that both compounds are two-dimensional S = 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets on a square lattice with a sizable frustration induced by the competition between the superexchange couplings J1 along the sides of the square and J2 along the diagonal. Li2VOSiO4 undergoes a low-temperature phase transition to a collinear order, as theoretically predicted for J2/J1>0.5. Just above the magnetic transition the degeneracy between the two collinear ground states is lifted by the onset of a structural distortion.

This paper presents a coaxial integrated macro-micro composite actuator. The macro-actuator of the macro-micro composite actuator is similar to a moving coil type voice coil motor, and a giant magnetostrictive actuator is installed coaxially inside it as a micro-actuator. In this work, kinetic models are established for both the macro-actuator and micro-actuator, and based on the models, an automatic disturbance rejection controller is adopted to control the macro-actuator, and a fuzzy sliding mode controller is adopted for the micro-actuator.

Resolving the Ambiguity of Thermal Reversion in a Nonconjugated Monocyclic Diene-Based Photoswitch for Rechargeable Solar Thermal Batteries.

We report nonconjugated monocyclic dienes (nCMDs) as unique photoswitchable molecules that hold promise for harvesting substantial solar energy and storing it for extended durations. Herein, cyclohepta-1,4-diene and its N-heterocyclic analogue have been considered as prototypical models for investigating photoswitching behavior in nCMDs. Initially, the nonradiative deactivation pathway of nCMD from the low-lying excited state to the [2 + 2]-cycloadduct has been evaluated.

Photon-counting mammography is an emerging modality that allows for spectral imaging and provides a differentiation of material compositions. The development of photon-counting mammography-specific contrast agents has yet to be explored. In this study, the contrast, sensitivity, and organ dose between silver sulfide nanoparticles (AgS-NPs) and a clinically approved iodinated agent (iopamidol) were investigated using a contrast-embedded gradient ramp phantom and a prototype scanner.
