Infrared reflection and transmission as a function of temperature have been measured on single crystals of Cu3Bi(SeO3)(2)O2Cl. The complex dielectric function and optical properties along all three principal axes of the orthorhombic cell were obtained via ...
The temperature and magnetic field dependent magnetization of the two-dimensional quantum spin system Ni-5(TeO3)(4)Cl-2 has been investigated using single crystals in temperature range 1.8-100 K and in magnetic fields up to 14 T. The magnetization below th ...
We demonstrate charge-mediated and non-volatile control of anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in a dilute magnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)(As, P) with an integrated polymer ferroelectric gate. The persistent electric field associated with switchable polariz ...
The main objective of this theoretical study was to investigate under which conditions a magnetic energy conversion device (MECD) - utilizing industrial waste heat - is economically feasible. Furthermore, it was evaluated if magnetic energy conversion (MCE ...
We present optical measurements of the photothermal response of a whispering-gallery silica microresonator in a helium-4 exchange gas cryostat. Using transient-mode numerical simulations, we discuss the various heat propagation mechanisms. (C) 2011 Optical ...
We report a neutron diffraction study of the magnetic phase transitions in the charge-density wave (CDW) TbTe 3 compound. We discover that in the paramagnetic phase there are strong 2D-like magnetic correlations, consistent with the pronounced anisotropy o ...
Magnetic refrigeration is a new environmentally benign technology and a promising alternative to conventional vapor-cycle refrigeration. Among these technologies the household refrigerator without a freezing compartment shows very good prospects for a succ ...
During the last century, the MagnetoCaloric Effect (MCE) has been widely used for realizing extremely low temperatures. However, it is only in the last three decades that some of the efforts to develop a benign and cutting-edge technology for realizing the ...
In conventional refrigeration the use of the T S diagram to determine thermodynamic cycle performance is a well accepted tool. This method is based on a single state description of the gaseous refrigerant during its cycling. Devices filled with a magnetoca ...
