With a Curie point at 370 K, the half-metal (La0.7Sr0.3)MnO3 (LSMO) is one of the most interesting candidates for electronic devices based on tunnel magnetoresistance. SrTiO3 (STO) is up to now the best substrate for the epitaxy of suitable thin films of LSMO. The pseudocubic unit cell of rhombohedral LSMO has a param…

The following paper is aimed at finding the effects of ultrasound on adsorption/desorption processes. Experiments concerning the ultrasonic power input indicate that particles absorb ultrasonic energy effectively if they are in resonance with the ultrasound. The ultrasonic energy is dissipated into heat. Hence, desorp…

Labeling stem cells with FDA-approved superparamagnetic iron oxide particles makes it possible to track cells in vivo with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but high intracellular levels of iron can cause free radical formation and cytotoxicity. We hypothesized that the use of cationic liposomes would increase labelin…

Nearly 30 years after theoretical prediction, a stable and well-characterized compound that covalently links tetrathiafulvalene and tetracyanoquinodimethane fragments has been synthesized (1, see scheme). The extremely low HOMO–LUMO gap of 1 (0.17 eV) allows the first observation of thermoexcited electron transfer in…

The paper deals with the computation of very fast transient overvoltages (VFTOs) in transformer windings. For this purpose, an algorithm is developed. The applied algorithm uses a hybrid model which is a combination of the multi-conductor transmission line model (MTLM) and the single-transmission line model (STLM). By…

Abstract The structures of a series of nickel‐ and magnesium‐based hydrotalcites were explored using Raman microscopy. These natural hydrotalcites are based upon sulphate or carbonate being the counter anion in the interlayer. Variation in the position of the sulphate stretching vibrations occurs and is mineral depend…
