    Dimitrios Tsamis Karatasos : a symbol of Greek, Serbian and Bulgarian friendship

    No full text
    Two Serbian texts extol the contribution of Dimitrios Tsamis Karatasos to the Balkan joint effort to throw off the Ottoman yoke. These texts are analysed by the author within the historical framework of their period, so that the man’s personality and work may be accurately evaluated from a fresh viewpoint. More specifically, the author conducts a research on the tombstone of Dimitrios Tsamis Karatasos, which he discovered himself at Naoussa, and the octet engraved on it, which is also published here. The work is illustrated by seven plates, of which four have not been published previously

    The Exemplary Life of Dimitrios Vikelas (1835-1908)

    No full text
    This paper describes the "satisfying curve" of Dimitrios Vikelas' life journey, starting from Syros in 1835, moving via Constantinople, Odessa, and Syros again, to London, Paris and finally Athens. It explores Vikelas' multiple aspects, as merchant, writer, traveller, lecturer and essayist, Olympic founder, educationalist, book collector and philanthropist, all of which were united in the public-spirited man of letters (logios). It sets Vikelas in the context of the Greek commercial diaspora, the world of the London expatriate Greek community, and the dynamic society of late nineteenth-century Athens, beginning in the 1870s to act as a magnet to Greek expatriates. The author stresses two qualities of Vikelas: his belief in the idea of a progressive Greek state marked by advances in education, culture, tourism and standards of public life; and the self-awareness and experience which inform his autobiographical writings, not only his memoir My Life but also his last such work, The War of 1897

    Growth and characterization of nanostructured magnetic materials

    No full text
    The goal of this thesis is to develop and characterize advanced nanostructured magnetic materials for future applications in nanodevices. The magnetic characterization of materials in the form of thin and multilayered films exhibits new investments of exceptionally great technological interest. More specifically, the development of nanostructured magnetic materials of transition metal-metal oxide type multilayer films was carried out by natural oxidation using the sputtering technique and the study of the magnetic properties both at room temperature and at low and high temperatures. In summary, the structural and magnetic properties of i) Ni-based (Ni/NiO), ii) Co-based (Co/CoO) magnetic multilayers, and iii) the influence of the addition of noble metals such as platinum on Co/CoO and platinum and palladium in Ni/NiO multilayered systems were studied. Experiments with electron microscopy TEM and X-ray diffraction-reflectivity XRD-XRR showed that the samples have excellent layering quality with low roughness. The main results of magnetic measurements with the MOKE magnetometer are summarized in the enhancement of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy after moderate annealing in the Ni-based multilayered system. Low-temperature after field-cooling experiments with the SQUID magnetometer demonstrated important phenomena such as the spin reorientation transition SRT, the large value of the exchange bias EB, and the strong enhancement of the coercive field HC in some systems. As for the Co/CoO multilayer films, they often presented inverted hysteresis loops, in which a successful theoretical attempt to reproduce them was made, while the Co/CoO/Pt systems presented a strong PMA even at room temperature, with large values of exchange field at temperatures of 4–10 K. Nowadays, systems that exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy have a wide range of applications including data storage media on magnetic and magneto-optical disks, which are potential materials for reading heads and sensors in spintronics.Η παρούσα Διδακτορική Διατριβή πραγματεύεται την ανάπτυξη και τον χαρακτηρισμό προηγμένων νανοδομημένων μαγνητικών υλικών κατάλληλα για εφαρμογές σε νανοδιατάξεις. Ο μαγνητικός χαρακτηρισμός υλικών υπό μορφή λεπτών και πολυστρωματικών υμενίων, ανοίγει τις πόρτες σε νέες ιδιότητες με εξαιρετικά μεγάλο τεχνολογικό ενδιαφέρον. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, πραγματοποιήθηκε ανάπτυξη νανοδομημένων μαγνητικών υλικών πολυστρωματικών υμενίων τύπου μεταβατικών μετάλλων-οξειδίου μετάλλου με φυσική οξείδωση χρησιμοποιώντας την τεχνική της ιοντοβολής (sputtering) και μελέτη των μαγνητικών ιδιοτήτων τόσο σε θερμοκρασία δωματίου όσο και σε χαμηλές και σχετικά υψηλές θερμοκρασίες. Συνοπτικά, μελετήθηκαν οι δομικές και μαγνητικές ιδιότητες μαγνητικών πολυστρωματικών υμενίων i) με βάση το νικέλιο (Ni/NiO), ii) με βάση το κοβάλτιο (Co/CoO) και iii) η επίδραση των ευγενών μετάλλων πλατίνας σε Co/CoO και πλατίνας και παλλαδίου σε πολυστρωματικά συστήματα Ni/NiO. Πειράματα με ηλεκτρονική μικροσκοπία ΤΕΜ και περίθλασης-ανακλαστικότητας ακτίνων Χ, XRD-XRR έδειξαν πως τα δείγματα έχουν εξαιρετική ποιότητα διαστρωμάτωσης και επαναληψιμότητα παραγωγής. Τα κυριότερα αποτελέσματα μαγνητικών μετρήσεων με το μαγνητόμετρα ΜΟΚΕ συνοψίζονται στην ενίσχυση της κάθετης μαγνητικής ανισοτροπίας μετά από μέτρια ανόπτηση στο σύστημα πολυστρωματικών υμενίων με βάση το Ni. Πειράματα σε χαμηλές θερμοκρασίες και με ψύξη υπό πεδίο με το μαγνητόμετρο SQUID κατέδειξαν σημαντικά φαινόμενα, όπως τη μετάβαση επαναπροσανατολισμού των σπιν SRT, τη μεγάλη τιμή πόλωσης ανταλλαγής EB και την ισχυρή ενίσχυση του συνεκτικού πεδίου HC σε ορισμένα συστήματα. Όσον αφορά στα πολυστρωματικά υμένια Co/CoO, παρουσίασαν συχνά ανάστροφους βρόχους υστέρησης, στους οποίους πραγματοποιήθηκε επιτυχημένη θεωρητική προσπάθεια αναπαραγωγής τους, ενώ τα συστήματα Co/CoO/Pt παρουσίασαν ισχυρή PMA ακόμα και σε θερμοκρασία δωματίου, με μεγάλες τιμές πόλωσης ανταλλαγής σε θερμοκρασίες 4 – 10 Κ. Συχνά στις μέρες μας, όταν τέτοια συστήματα εμφανίζουν κάθετη μαγνητική ανισοτροπία βρίσκουν πληθώρα εφαρμογών όπως είναι η εγγραφή πληροφορίας σε μαγνητικούς και μαγνητο-οπτικούς δίσκους, ως υποψήφια υλικά σε κεφαλές ανάγνωσης και αισθητήρες, στη σπιντρονική

    Dimitrios Mavrokordatos Disproving the Hemostatic Myth of Aqua Binelli

    No full text
    “Aqua Binelli” or “Aqua Balsamica Arterialis” was a hemostatic compound invented by the Italian Fedele Binelli in 1797. Its hemostatic properties were viewed as the solution to treating hemorrhage in cases of wounds and surgical operations. Those who opposed the compound were persuaded of its total lack of effectiveness, supporting the view that hemostasis could be achieved by exerting pressure on, stitching, and ligating a vessel. The publications of Karl Ferdinand von Gräfe, Professor at the University of Berlin and fervent advocate of Aqua Binelli, helped spread the use of the compound in Europe. In 1832, however, one of his students, a young Greek named Dimitrios Mavrokordatos, who became the first Professor of Anatomy and Physiology in the newly established University of Athens in 1837, published in Würzburg his dissertation titled Observations on the Potency of Aqua Binelli (Weitere Nachrichten über das Binellische Wasser), where a completely different picture emerged relating to those applications of the compound that von Gräfe considered successful. The case of Mavrokordatos’ dissertation was a typical 19th-century scientific controversy between a young student and his teacher who enjoyed the support of his associates. Eventually, the myth of the hemostatic activity of Aqua Binelli was debunked. © The Author(s) 2020
