A cascade of magnetic field induced spin transitions in LaCoO{<_3}.

We present magnetization and magnetostriction studies of LaCoO{sub 3} in magnetic fields approaching 100 T. In contrast with expectations from single-ion models, the data reveal two distinct first-order transitions and well-defined magnetization plateaus. The magnetization at the higher plateau is only about half the saturation value expected for spin-1 Co{sup 3+} ions. These findings strongly suggest collective behavior induced by interactions between different electronic configurations of Co{sup 3+} ions. We propose a model that predicts crystalline spin textures and a cascade of four magnetic phase transitions at high fields, of which the first two account for the experimental data.

Real-time standoff detection of nitrogen isotopes in ammonia plumes using a swept external cavity quantum cascade laser

A swept-wavelength external cavity quantum cascade laser is used to measure time-resolved 15NH3 and 14NH3 concentrations and isotope ratios in a turbulent plume source located at 10 m standoff distance. Measurements show excellent agreement with expected values of isotope ratios for samples with natural and enriched 15N abundance. Detection sensitivity of 150 ppb*m is demonstrated for a 50 ms measurement interval, improving to 10 ppb*m with 10 s averaging, with isotopic precision as good as 0.8%.

Systematic two-dimensional cascade tests. Volume 4: Cascade test data

The data pertaining to the performance characteristics of hydrofoils are presented. The hydrofoils are: (1) double circular arc, (2) multiple circular arc, and (3) slotted doubled circular arc. The experimental data are organized into a systematic presentation format and provided with scale factors and reference values for interpretation. The data include local pressure distributions upstream and downstream of the cascade test section, continuous records from flow angle and total pressure surveys, hydrofoil local pressure distributions, and cavitation data.

Electrode assemblies composed of redox cascades from microbial respiratory electron transfer chains

Respiratory and photosynthetic electron transfer chains are dependent on vectorial electron transfer through a series of redox proteins. Examples include electron transfer from NapC to NapAB nitrate reductase in Paracoccus denitrificans and from CymA to Fcc 3 (flavocytochrome c 3 ) fumarate reductase in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. In the present article, we demonstrate that graphite electrodes can serve as surfaces for the stepwise adsorption of NapC and NapAB, and the stepwise adsorption of CymA and Fcc 3 . Aspects of the catalytic properties of these assemblies are different from those of NapAB and Fcc 3 adsorbed in isolation. We propose that this is due to the formation of NapC-NapAB and of CymA-Fcc 3 complexes that are capable of supporting vectorial electron transfer.

Observation of a two-neutron cascade from a resonance in {sup 24}O

A new resonance having a relative decay energy of {approx}0.6 MeV has been observed above the two-neutron separation energy in {sup 24}O at an excitation energy of {approx}7.5 MeV. The new level was found to directly feed the first excited state in {sup 23}O, an E=0.045(2)-MeV resonance, through the measurement of neutron-neutron correlations. Energy level comparisons with {sup 23}O suggest that this new level in {sup 24}O is dominated by an unpaired neutron in the {nu}0d{sub 3/2} single-particle orbital coupled to a single hole in the {nu}0d{sub 5/2} single-particle orbital. Establishment of this two-neutron discrimination technique provides a means for investigating high-lying excited states in neutron-rich nuclei.
