In this short communication, we report a new carbon material prepared from meta-linked polyaniline that exhibits weak antiferromagnetic interactions at low temperature. The synthesis of poly(meta-aniline), abbreviated as m-PANI, was conducted using the Ullmann reaction with the aid of Cu+ as a catalyst in the presence of K2CO3. After the generation of radical cations by vapor-phase doping with iodine, carbonization was performed to prepare carbon polyaniline (C-PANI), which comprises condensed benzene rings. Analysis with a superconducting quantum interference device revealed that the resultant carbon exhibits antiferromagnetism at low temperatures. The discovery of this weak antiferromagnetic carbon may contribute to the development of carbon magnets.

The direct photolyses of thietane, 3-ethyl-2-propylthietane, and 3-methylthietane in the vapor phase, in solution, and in glassy matrices at low temperatures have been examined. The effects of varying the photolysis wavelength, the temperature, the pressure and the phase of the substrate, and of adding inert thermalizers on the nature and yields of the various products have been measured. The results are interpreted in terms of initial C—S cleavage to give a 1,4-biradical which may, in the gas phase, decompose or ring close before complete equilibration of the various rotamers is achieved, or which may be thermalized in condensed media and trapped in glassy matrices at low temperature.

The Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) has been used and proposed often to read out low-temperature detectors for astronomical instruments. A multiplexed SQUID readout for currently envisioned astronomical detector arrays, which will have tens of thousands of pixels, is still challenging with the present technology. We present a new, advanced multiplexing concept and its prototype development that will allow for the readout of 1,000–10,000 detectors with only three pairs of wires and a single microwave coaxial cable.
