The magnetocrystalline anisotropy of GdRhSi is examined in detail via the electron spin resonance (ESR) of its well-localised Gd moments. Below T = 107 K, long range magnetic order sets in with ferromagnetic layers in the (aa)-plane stacked antiferromagnetically along the c-axis of the tetragonal structure. Interestingly, the easy-plane anisotropy allows for the observation of antiferromagnetic resonance at X- and Q-band microwave frequencies. In addition to the easy-plane anisotropy we have also quantified the weaker fourfold anisotropy within the easy plane. The obtained resonance fields are modelled in terms of eigenoscillations of the two antiferromagnetically coupled sublattices. Conversely, this model provides plots of the eigenfrequencies as a function of field and the specific anisotropy constants. Such calculations have rarely been done. Therefore our analysis is prototypical for other systems with fourfold in-plane anisotropy. It is demonstrated that the experimental in-plane ESR data may be crucial for a precise knowledge of the out-of-plane anisotropy.

Diffusion tensor imaging in peroneal neuropathy: a prospective, single-centre study.
BMJ Neurol Open
January 2025
Research Group experimental Neurosurgery and Neuroanatomy and the Leuven Brain Institute, KU Leuven, Leuven, Flanders, Belgium.
Objective: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) showed promising results in diagnosing upper limb neuropathies, but its value in patients with foot drop due to peroneal neuropathy has not yet been investigated. We aim to establish reference values for DTI metrics of the healthy peroneal nerve and to evaluate differences in DTI metrics between patients and healthy controls.
Methods: Diffusion-weighted images (DWI) from 22 pathological nerves, 14 asymptomatic patients' nerves and 65 healthy peroneal nerves were processed for quantitative assessment of fractional anisotropy (FA), radial diffusivity (RD), axial diffusivity and mean diffusivity.
Meridional anisotropy in contrast sensitivity and visual evoked potential in adults with high myopic astigmatism.
Front Neurosci

School of Optometry, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Hong Kong SAR, China.
Purpose: Astigmatism can lead to meridional amblyopia, an orientation-specific visual deficit. This study investigated the effects of astigmatism on meridional anisotropy in contrast sensitivity (CS) and steady-state visual evoked potential (ssVEP) across a range of spatial frequencies.
Methods: Thirty-two young adults with a best-corrected distance visual acuity of logMAR 0 or better were categorized into two groups: highly astigmatic (HAS, = 16) with spherical-equivalent error (SE) ≥ -6.
Prediction of isocitrate dehydrogenase mutation status in WHO grade II glioma by diffusion kurtosis imaging.

Purpose: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status serves as a crucial prognostic indicator for glioma, typically assessed via immunohistochemical analysis post-surgery. Given the invasiveness of this approach, perhaps we can utilise convenient and noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods to predict IDH mutation status. However, the current landscape lacks a standardised MRI technique for accurately predicting IDH mutations.

Two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic (FM) semiconductors hold great promise for the next generation spintronics devices. By performing density functional theory first-principles calculations, both CeF and CeFCl monolayers are studied, our calculation results show that CeF is a FM semiconductor with sizable magneto-crystalline anisotropy energy (MAE) and high Curie temperature (290 K), but a smaller band gap and thermal instability indicate that it is not applicable at higher temperature. Its isoelectronic analogue, the CeFCl monolayer, is a bipolar FM semiconductor, its dynamics, elastic, and thermal stability are confirmed, our results demonstrate promising applications of the CeFCl monolayer for next-generation spintronic devices owing to its high Curie temperature (200 K), stable semiconducting features, and stability.

In this work, using first-principles calculations, we predict a promising class of two-dimensional ferromagnetic semiconductors, namely Janus PrXY (X ≠ Y = Cl, Br, I) monolayers. Through first-principles calculations, we found that PrXY monolayers have excellent dynamic and thermal stability, and their band structures, influenced by magnetic exchange and spin-orbital coupling, exhibit significant valley polarization. Between and - valleys, the Berry curvature values are opposite to each other, resulting in the anomalous valley Hall effect.
