    © 2021 Author(s).We report the strong ferromagnetic order in van der Waals (vdW) layered SnS2 induced by cobalt substitution. The single-crystal Co-doped SnS2 grown by a self-flux method reveals a relatively high Curie temperature (TC) of ∼131 K with an in-plane magnetic easy axis and a large saturation magnetization of ∼0.65 emu g-1 for the 2 at. % Co concentration, which is two orders of magnitude larger than the previously reported value for transition-metal-doped SnS2. The average magnetic moment per Co atom, as high as 1.08 μB, is consistent with the calculated value based on density functional theory, i.e., 1 μB, indicating a negligible antiferromagnetic coupling between Co atoms. Magnetoresistance shows a change in sign from positive to negative, which further confirms the ferromagnetic order in Co-doped SnS2. Our s-p hybridized vdW layered SnS2 serves as a host semiconductor material to search for a suitable magnetic dopant with a high magnetic moment and room temperature TC for next-generation spintronics.11Nsciescopu

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    Incommensurate Antiferromagnetic Order in Weakly Frustrated Two-Dimensional van der Waals Insulator CrPSe3

    No full text
    Copyright © 2023 American Chemical Society. The two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals(vdW) material MPX3 with a hexagonal-like arrangement oftransition metal atomsin the vdW layers has a diversity of commensurate antiferromagneticorders. Distinctly, CrPSe3 reveals a weakly frustratedincommensurate antiferromagnetic order without structural phase transition. Although magnetic order is suppressed by a strong frustration,it appears in complex forms such as a cycloid or spin density wavein weakly frustrated systems. Herein, we report a weakly magneticallyfrustrated two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals material CrPSe3. Polycrystalline CrPSe3 was synthesized at an optimizedtemperature of 700 & DEG;C to avoid the formation of any secondaryphases (e.g., Cr2Se3). The antiferromagnetictransition appeared at T (N) & AP; 127K with a large Curie-Weiss temperature & theta;(CW) & AP; -301 K via magnetic susceptibility measurements,indicating weak frustration in CrPSe3 with a frustrationfactor of f (|& theta;(CW)|/T (N)) & AP; 2.4. Evidently, the formation of a long-rangeincommensurate antiferromagnetic order was revealed by neutron diffractionmeasurements at low temperatures (below 120 K). The monoclinic crystalstructure of the C2/m symmetry ispreserved over the studied temperature range down to 20 K, as confirmedby Raman spectroscopy measurements. Our findings on the incommensurateantiferromagnetic order in 2D magnetic materials, not previously observedin the MPX3 family, are expected to enrich the physicsof magnetism at the 2D limit, thereby opening opportunities for theirpractical applications in spintronics and quantum devices.11Nsciescopu

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
