Hexagonal ferrites ( h - RFeO 3, R = Y , Dy - Lu ) have recently been identified as a new family of multiferroic complex oxides. The coexisting spontaneous electric and magnetic polarizations make h - RFeO 3 rare-case ferroelectric ferromagnets at low temperature. Plus the room-temperature multiferroicity and the predicted magnetoelectric effect, h - RFeO 3 are promising materials for multiferroic applications. Here we review the structural, ferroelectric, magnetic and magnetoelectric properties of h - RFeO 3. The thin film growth is also discussed because it is critical in making high quality single crystalline materials for studying intrinsic properties.

To date, only several microporous, and even fewer nanoporous, glasses have been produced, always via post synthesis acid treatment of phase separated dense materials, e.g. Vycor glass. In comparison, high internal surface areas are readily achieved in crystalline materials, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). It has recently been discovered that a new family of melt quenched glasses can be produced from MOFs, though they have thus far have lacked the accessible and intrinsic porosity of their crystalline precursors. Here, we report the first glasses that are permanently, and reversibly porous toward incoming gases, without post synthetic treatment. We characterized the structure of these glasses using a range of experimental techniques, and demonstrate pores in the 4-8 angstrom range. The discovery of MOF-glasses with permanent accessible porosity reveals a new category of porous glass materials, that are potentially elevated beyond conventional inorganic and organic porous glasses, by their diversity and tunability.

Context. Solar gravity modes (g modes) are buoyancy waves that are trapped in the solar radiative zone and have been very difficult to detect at the surface. Solar g modes would complement solar pressure modes (p modes) in probing the central regions of the Sun, for example the rotation rate of the core. Aims. A detection of g modes using changes in the large frequency separation of p modes has recently been reported. However, it is unclear how p and g modes interact. The aim of this study is to evaluate to what extent g modes can perturb the frequencies of p modes. Methods. We computed the first-order perturbation to global p-mode frequencies due to a flow field and perturbations to solar structure (e.g. density and sound speed) caused by a g mode. We focused on long-period g modes and assumed that the g-mode perturbations are constant in time. The surface amplitude of g modes is assumed to be 1 mm s−1, which is close to the observational limit set by Doppler observations. Results. Gravity modes do perturb p-mode frequencies to first order if the harmonic degree of the g mode is even and if its azimuthal order is zero. The effect is extremely small. For dipole and quadrupole p modes, all frequency shifts are smaller than 0.1 nHz, or 2 × 10−8 in relative numbers. This is because the relative perturbation to solar structure quantities caused by a g mode of realistic amplitude is of the order of 10−6–10−5. Additionally, we find that structural changes dominate over advection. Surprisingly, the interaction of g and p modes takes place to a large part near the surface, where p modes spend most of their propagation times and g modes generate the largest relative changes to solar structure. This is due to the steep density stratification, which compensates the evanescent behaviour of g modes in the convection zone. Conclusions. It appears to be impossible to detect g modes solely through their signature in p-mode frequency shifts. Whether g modes leave a detectable signature in p-mode travel times under a given observational setup remains an open question.

The field measurement of liquid viscosities, especially the high viscous liquids, is challenging and often requires expensive equipment, long processing time, and lots of reagent. We use quartz crystal microbalances (QCMs) operating in solution which are also sensitive to the viscosity and density of the contacting solution. QCMs are typically investigated for sensor applications in which one surface of QCM completely immersed in Newtonian liquid, but the viscous damping in liquids would cause not only large frequency shifts but also large losses in the quality factorQleading to instability and even cessation of oscillation. A novel mass-sensitivity-based method for field measurement of liquid viscosities using a QCM is demonstrated in this paper and a model describing the influence of the liquid properties on the oscillation frequency is established as well. Two groups of verified experiments were performed and the experimental results show that the presented method is effective and possesses potential applications.
