DISORDER POINT FOR 2D ELECTRONS IN A HALF-FILLED LANDAU-LEVEL

Short-range correlations of two-dimensional electrons in a strong magnetic field are shown to be triangular in nature well below half-filling, but honeycomb well above half-filling. The half-filling point is thus proposed, and qualitatively confirmed by three-body correlation calculations, to be a new type of disorder point where short-range correlations change character. A wavefunction study also suggests that nodes become unbound at half-filling. Evidence for incompressibility but deformability of the half-filling state earlier suggested by Fano, Ortolani and Tosatti, is also presented and found to be in agreement with recent experiments.

A new half-flash architecture for high speed video ADC

In this paper a new half-flash architecture for high speed video ADC is presented. Based on a high speed single-way analog switch circuit, this architecture effectively reduces the number of elements. At the same lime no sacrifice of speed is needed compared with the normal half-flash structure.

Period-doubling bifurcations of the thermocapillary convection in a floating half zone

This study experimentally explored the fine structures of the successive period-doubling bifurcations of the time-dependent thermocapillary convection in a floating half zone of 10 cSt silicone oil with the diameter d (0)=3.00 mm and the aspect ratio A=l/d (0)=0.72 in terrestrial conditions. The onset of time-dependent thermocapillary convection predominated in this experimental configuration and its subsequent evolution were experimentally detected through the local temperature measurements. The experimental results revealed a sequence of period-doubling bifurcations of the time-dependent thermocapillary convection, similar in some way to one of the routes to chaos for buoyant natural convection. The critical frequencies and the corresponding fractal frequencies were extracted through the real-time analysis of the frequency spectra by Fast-Fourier-Transformation (FFT). The projections of the trajectory onto the reconstructed phase-space were also provided. Furthermore, the experimentally predicted Feigenbaum constants were quite close to the theoretical asymptotic value of 4.669 [Feigenbaum M J. Phys Lett A, 1979, 74: 375-378].

Near compensated half-metal in Sr2NiOsO6

The electronic and magnetic properties of tetragonal double perovskite Sr2NiOsO6 were studied by use of the density functional theory and including the spin-orbit coupling. Compensated half-metal is found if the spin-orbit coupling is not considered. Spin-orbit coupling induces orbital moments on both Ni and Os, making Sr2NiOsO6 a near compensated half-metal. Ferromagnetic phase is slightly favored over antiferromagnetic phase (by 4 meV). The small energy difference also suggests that both phases are competitive for the ground state. At ferromagnetic phase, the calculated net magnetic moment is 3.53 mu(B), in good agreement with experimental value of 3.44 mu(B). At antiferromagnetic phase, the net magnetic moment is 0.69 mu(B), in which the contribution from the net spin moment is 0.09 mu(B).

Half metallic properties of Sr2CuOsO6

The half metallic properties of the recent synthesized Sr2CuOsO6 were predicted by using the density functional theory. The effects of electron correlation and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) were studied. The calculations show that without considering SOC effect, Sr2CuOsO6 is half metallic and ferrimagnetic. By including both electron correlation and spin-orbit coupling, the total spin magnetic moment is 0.89 mu(B), total orbital moment 0.43 mu(B) in opposite direction, making the net magnetic moment 0.46 mu(B). SOC ruins the half metallic character. Crown Copyright (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.

Ferrimagnetic and half-metallic CaCu3Fe4O12: Prediction from first principles investigation

The structural stability and physical properties of CaCu3Fe4O12 were studied by the use of the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method. The authors' calculated result indicates that the title compound is stable both thermodynamically and mechanically. It is ferrimagnetic and half-metallic. The calculated magnetic structure reveals that the coupling of Cu-Fe is antiferromagnetic, while those of Cu-Cu and Fe-Fe are ferromagnetic.

Syntheses and characterization of half-sandwich zirconium complexes with dichalcogenolate o-carborane ligands

Metallocene complex (Cp2ZrCl2)-Zr-tt (Cp-tt = eta(5)-1,3-(Bu2C5H3)-Bu-t) (1) has been prepared from the reaction of LiCptt with ZrCl4 in good yield. Reactions of 1 with dilithium dichalcogenolate o-carboranes afforded new type of half-sandwich compounds with dichalcogenolate o-carboranyl ligands [Li(THF)(4)][(CpZr)-Zr-tt(E2C2B10H10)(2)] (E = S, 2a; E = Se, 2b) in which only one cyclopentadienyl ring ligand existed. Complexes 1 and 2a were structurally characterized by X-ray analyses. In complex 2a, the Zr(IV) ion is eta(5)-bound to one 1,3-di-tert-cyclopentadienyl ring and a-bound to four mu(2)-sulfur atoms of two dithio-carboranes. The zirconium atom and four sulfur atoms form a distorted pyramid. The coordination sphere around the zirconium atom resembles in a piano stool structure with four legs of sulfur atoms and the fulcrum at the zirconium atom.

Synthesis, structure and characterization of a novel asymmetrical half-sandwich binuclear iron carborane complex [eta(5)-C5H3 (t-Bu)(2)](2)Fe-2 (CO)(3)Se2C2B10H10

Halfsandwich iron dicarbonyl complex [eta(5)-C5H3(t-Bu)(2)]Fe(CO)(2)Cl(1) reacts with 1, 2-dilithium diseleno carborane Li(2)Se(2)C(2)B(10)H10 (2) to give a binuclear iron carborane complex [eta(5)-C5H3(t-Bu)(2)](2)Fe-2(CO)(3) Se2C2B10H10(3). The X-ray diffraction analysis of complex 3 reveals that one of the iron atoms is chiral.
