Macroscopic Quantum Effects

Theoretical study of multi-layered CuO 2 surfaces with localization potential shows that (i) special stable macroscopic quantum states appear when [Formula: see text], where χ is the doping level and G is the unit-cell number, and that (ii) the physical phenomena related to ‖c charge motion takes place just as expected in the fictitious situation where whole uniformly doped holes concentrate in one-side surface. In the dielectric measurement of doping-level dependence and film-thickness dependence on c-oriented La 2-χ Sr χ CuO 4-δ film, we find that (a) anomalous low-frequency polarization is enhanced when a scaling parameter χG is near to [Formula: see text], that (b) quasi-static measurement of the polarization property in low doped film shows two typical characteristics explicable by the fictitious charge concentrations, and that (c) ‖c small-voltage conduction measurement on low doped film also shows two types of characteristic which are switched each other triggered by laser irradiation. Since these macroscopic quantum effects with plural levels with very long life time are observable even up to room temperatures, they may be useful in quantum computing application.

Activation Conditions

The Cu-Be alloys are widely used as the electron multiplier dynodes after the adequate activation process. But the structures and compositions of the elements on the activated surfaces were not studied clearly. The Cu-Be alloys are heated in the oxygen atmosphere in the usual activation techniques. The activation conditions, e.g. temperature and O2 pressure, affect strongly the secondary electron yield and life time of dynodes.In the present paper, the activated Cu-Be dynode surfaces at each condition are investigated with Scanning Auger Microanalyzer (SAM) (primary beam diameter: 3μmϕ) and SEM. The commercial Cu-Be(2%) alloys were polished with Cr2O3 powder, rinsed in the distilled water and set in the vacuum furnance.Two typical activation condition, i.e. activation temperature 730°C and 810°C in 5x10-3 Torr O2 pressure were chosen since the formation mechanism of the BeO film on the Cu-Be alloys was guessed to be very different at each temperature from the results of the secondary electron emission measurements.

Abstract. Negative life events associated with deliberate self-harm (DSH) were investigated in an African context in Uganda. Patients admitted at three general hospitals in Kampala, Uganda were interviewed using a Luganda version (predominant language in the study area) of the European Parasuicide Study Interview Schedule I. The results of the life events and histories module are reported in this paper. The categories of negative life events in childhood that were significantly associated with DSH included those related to parents, significant others, personal events, and the total negative life events load in childhood. For the later-life time period, the negative life events load in the partner category and the total negative life events in this time period were associated with DSH. In the last-year time period, the negative life events load related to personal events and the total number of negative life events in this time period were associated with DSH. A statistically significant difference between the cases and controls for the total number of negative life events reported over the entire lifetime of the respondents was also observed, which suggests a dose effect of negative life events on DSH. Gender differences were also observed among the cases. In conclusion, life events appear to be an important factor in DSH in this cultural environment. The implication of these results for treatment and the future development of suicide interventions in this country are discussed.
