The magnetization of magnetite was measured with high accuracy in the temperature region of the transition. The decrease of the saturation magnetization of about 0.1% was observed on cooling. The observed changes of the apparent magnetization along various directions are quantitatively explained in terms of the orthor…

The α–β transformation of berlinite (AlPO 4 ) at 586 °C was studied by X-ray diffraction. Atomic displacements were obtained from results of least-squares refinement of data taken between room temperature and 600 °C using reflections whose intensity is unaffected by Dauphiné twinning. The results suggest a rotational…

We have carried out a comparative study of the dc conductivity in tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TTF-TCNQ) and its isostructural selenium analogs TSeF-TCNQ (tetraselenafulvalene) and cis/trans-DSeDTF-TCNQ (diselenadithiafulvalene) below their metal-insulator transitions. Our study reveals the presence of…

To specify the condition for the anomalous thermal expansion due to a large spontaneous volume magnetostriction in ferromagnetic Laves phase intermetallic TFe 2 compounds, thermal expansion measurements for some TFe 2 compounds were made. The obtained results suggest that the anomaly is sensitive to the interatomic di…

An absolute gravimetric method of measuring surface and interfacial tensions of liquids by pulling a sphere through the interface is examined. The method also permits simultaneous measurement of the contact angle of the liquid on the sphere surface; this enables corrections to be made for incomplete wetting of the sol…

When acetonitrile solutions of tetrathiafulvalene [i.e., (C3S2H2)2; herein called TTF] and iodine, I2, are allowed to mix by diffusion, monoclinic crystals are formed with the approximate composition (TTF)7I5. These crystals have an electrical conductivity along the needle axis c of 300 ohm−1⋅cm−1 at room temperature.…

The magnetic interactions in Heusler alloys Pd 2 MnSn and Ni 2 MnSn have been investigated using neutron spin wave scattering. The spin wave dispersion relations along the [00ζ], [ζζ0] and [ζζζ] directions have been observed across the whole magnetic Brillouin zone. The results have been analyzed using a Heisenberg Ha…

We have studied the effects of water and defects on the Raman spectrum of fused silica. Intensities of defect lines at 604 and 490 cm−1 were found to increase with fictive temperature and to decrease with increasing OH content. The results suggest that water in the melt is preferentially trapped at the defect sites. T…

A two-parameter tight-binding theory of the electronic structure of 4:2-coordinated materials is proposed. The parameters, a covalent and a polar energy, are fitted to the optical absorption spectra. The valence energy bands and density of states are calculated. In terms of these a consistent interpretation of all the…

The exact Landau level structure of graphite has been obtained for the magnetic field parallel to the c -axis with the aid of the numerical calculation. Special emphasis is layed on the effect of the trigonal warping in band structure which has been treated approximately up to the present. The peculiar behaviour of La…

The conduction threshold which occurs in resistor networks when a certain fraction has zero conductivity can be treated as a sort of critical point. This critical point is also relevant to mixtures of resistors with finite conductivities a and b, in the limit a<<b. A homogeneous function representation is proposed for…

The classical theory of Brownian motion applies to suspensions which are so dilute that each particle is effectively alone in infinite fluid. We consider here the modifications to the theory that are needed when rigid spherical particles are close enough to interact hydrodynamically. It is first shown that Brownian mo…
