We study the magnetic behavior of a 4d transition-metal Ru monolayer (ML) on different substrates and orientations. In the ground state, an ideal Ru-ML is expected to be ferromagnetic on Ag(001) and Au(001) with a magnetic moment, µ, around 1.7 µB (Bohr magnetons) in both cases. On Cu(001), a Ru-ML is not magnetic. In this paper, we study the magnetic behavior of a Ru-ML at other orientations, i.e., (110) and (111), and analyze the phenomenon as a whole. We find magnetism on Au(111), and Ag(111) (µ ≈ 1 µB for both) but no magnetic activity on a Cu substrate in any orientation. This gives the first impression that the lattice parameter of the substrate is the one that governs the switching on of magnetism in the Ru-ML. But then, we find that on both Ag(110) and Au(110), an ideal Ru-ML is not magnetic. For that reason, we have tried to find another geometric parameter that would correlate better with the magnetic moment. We find that neither the total number of first nearest neighbors for each orientation, nor the number of them on the ML, or the number of them in the substrate, or the area per atom on the ML, correlate. We find a correlation with a parameter, Ω0, that represents the volume per atom in the monolayer–substrate interface region. But this parameter seems to have the wrong trend according to intuition. Further analysis shows that the details of the interaction are important, and that the physics underlying the switching on of magnetism in a Ru-ML on noble metal substrates, is determined by an intraband transfer of d-electronic states, from lower and higher energies to the Fermi level, that enhances the density of states at that energy, in an important way. This depends on specificities of the interaction between the ML and the substrate that are hardly taken into account by a single parameter that is merely geometric.

Energy band structure and density of states of the compound Y(Co,Fe)5 were obtained by the augmented spherical wave method. Also the localization of the magnetic moment inside the unit cell, the effect of pressure and the substitution of Co atoms by Fe atoms were studied at the temperature of 0 K. Metallic Co showed a magnetic moment of 1.5 B while metallic Y showed its non magnetic behavior. Inside the compound YCo5 the Y atom had a contribution of –0.3 B to the total magnetization of the unit cell. A negative pressure caused the change of the Fermi energy and the modification of the magnetic moment. With a big enough positive pressure the total magnetic moment dropped to zero. The substitution of Co by Fe caused a change in the compound from strong ferromagnetic to soft ferromagnetic.

The fine structures of three of the β bands of PO which occur near 3200 Å have been analyzed. The analysis shows that the upper state of this band system is a 2Σ and not a 2Π state as previously believed. The rotational constants of both electronic states have been determined and it is found that the ground state constants, previously determined from the γ bands, are incorrect.

AbstractWe consider the homogeneous Bose gas on a unit torus in the mean-field regime when the interaction strength is proportional to the inverse of the particle number. In the limit when the number of particles becomes large, we derive a two-term expansion of the one-body density matrix of the ground state. The proof is based on a cubic correction to Bogoliubov’s approximation of the ground state energy and the ground state.

The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of x Fe 2 O 3·(100-x)-[ P 2 O 5· CaO ] glasses with 0<x≤50 mol % have been investigated. These data revealed that the valence states and the distribution of iron ions in the glass matrix depend on the Fe 2 O 3 content. For the glasses with x≤1 mol % only Fe 3+ ions are evidenced. In the case of the glasses with 3≤x≤35 mol % both Fe 3+ and Fe 2 ions co-exist in the P 2 O 5· CaO glass matrix, the Fe 2+ ion content is higher than that of the Fe 3+ ions for glasses with x≥10 mol %. For the glasses with x>35 mol %, the evaluated values of the μ eff indicate either the presence of Fe + ions or the coordination influence on the magnetic moment of iron ions, but the presence of small quantities of the antiferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic interactions between iron ions in studied temperature range cannot be excluded. The high temperature susceptibility results indicate that the iron ions are isolated or participate in dipole-dipole interactions for glasses with x≤35 mol % and are antiferromagnetically coupled for higher contents of Fe 2 O 3.

Starting from the extensional Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model taking into account the effects of interchain coupling, we have studied the energy spectra and electronic states of soliton excitation in polyacene. The dimerized displacement u0 is found to be similar to the case of trans-polyacetylene, and equals to 0.04 Å. The energy-band gap is 0.38 eV, in agreement with the results derived by other authors. Two new bound electronic states have been found in the conduction band and in the valence band, which is different from the one of trans-polyacetylene. There exists two degenerate soliton states in the center of energy gap. Furthermore, the distribution of charge density and spin density have been discussed in detail.

Threshold photoelectron–photoion coincidence (TPEPICO) spectroscopy has been used to investigate the decay dynamics of the valence electronic states of the parent cation of several hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), based on fluorine-substituted ethane, in the energy range 11–25 eV. We present data for CF 3– CHF 2, CF 3– CH 2 F , CF 3– CH 3 and CHF 2– CH 3. The threshold photoelectron spectra (TPES) of these molecules show a common feature of a broad, relatively weak ground state, associated with electron removal from the highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) having mainly C–C σ-bonding character. Adiabatic and vertical ionisation energies for the HOMO of the four HFCs are presented, together with corresponding values from ab initio calculations. For those lower-energy molecular orbitals associated with non-bonding fluorine 2pπ lone pair electrons, these electronic states of the HFC cation decay impulsively by C–F bond fission with considerable release of translational kinetic energy. Appearance energies are presented for formation of the daughter cation formed by such a process (e.g. CF 3– CHF +), together with ab initio energies of the corresponding dissociation channel (e.g. CF 3– CHF + + F ). Values for the translational kinetic energy released are compared with the predictions of a pure-impulsive model.

The ground-state phase diagrams are obtained for the spin-2 Ising model Hamiltonian with bilinear and biquadratic exchange interactions and a single-ion crystal field. The interactions are assumed to be only between nearest-neighbors. Obtained phase diagrams are presented in the (Δ,J), (K,J), (Δ/J,K/J), (Δ/|J|,K/|J|), (Δ/|K|,J/|K|), (H/J,Δ/J), (H/|J|,Δ/|J|), (H/J,K/J), and (H/|J|,K/|J|) planes where J, K, Δ, and H are the bilinear, biquadratic exchange interactions, the single-ion crystal field, and the external magnetic field, respectively. The influence of the external magnetic field on the spin configurations is investigated.

This thermoscope is founded on the change produced in the magnetic moment of a steel magnet by change of temperature. Several different forms suggest themselves: the one which seems best adapted to give good results is to be made as follows:—(1.) Prepare an approximately astatic system of two thin, hardened steel wires, r b, r′ b′, each 1 cm. long, one of them, r, b, hung by a single silk fibre, and the other hung bifilarly from it, by fibres about 3 cms. long, so attached that the projections of the two, on a horizontal plane, shall be inclined at an angle of about ·01 of a radian (or ·57°) to one another.
