    Straightforward field calculations for uniaxial hardmagnetic prisms: stray field distributions and dipolar coupling in regular arrays

    No full text
    Elements of hard- or moderately hardmagnetic materials may exhibit remanent states with a stable uniform magnetization distribution due to the high magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy. In this work, we present analytical calculations of magnetic field distributions arising from appropriate prismatic magnets and apply the results to the special case of hardmagnetic cuboids. The influence of the aspect ratio on the stray field distribution and its range is analysed. Based on these calculations a simple quasi-phase diagram for the emergence of dipolar coupling between individual elements with perpendicular easy axis in regular arrays is derived

    Manipulating the dipolar magnetic interactions in FePt square arrays: The role of edge roughness

    No full text
    The high magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy in hard magnetic materials may sustain magnetization distributions in the remanent state, which exhibit a high number of magnetic surface charges and thus significant magnetic stray fields. Here, we focus onto the stray field distribution in the exterior and the demagnetization field distribution in the interior of hard magnetic FePt elements without and with artificial saw tooth edge roughness. Our experiments and calculations reveal that external stray fields and internal demagnetization fields are considerably modified by the artificial edge roughness

    Interfacial reconstruction and superconductivity in cuprate-manganite multilayers of YBa2Cu3O7-delta and Pr0.68Ca0.32MnO3

    Interfacial reconstruction in multilayers of YBa2Cu3O7-delta and Pr0.68Ca0.32MnO3 and its impact on superconducting properties is investigated by means of electron energy-loss spectroscopy and dc electrical transport measurements. Massive underdoping of the cuprate is found by both electron transfer from the manganite and interfacial oxygen depletion, presumably as an adaptation to compressive epitaxial stress. The decrease of the optimally doped volume becomes evident from a distinct suppression of the superconducting transition temperature. This doping effect is stronger than the impact of a competing ferromagnetic order parameter reported for similar multilayer samples with spin-polarized manganites.Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 201

    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

    Effects of interaction and disorder on polarons in colossal resistance manganite Pr0.68Ca0.32MnO3 thin films

    The colossal magnetoresistance effect (CMR), the drop of the electric resistance by orders of magnitude in a strong magnetic field, is a fascinating property of strongly correlated electrons in doped manganites. Here, we present a detailed analysis of the magnetotransport properties of small polarons in thin films of the low bandwidth manganite Pr0.68Ca0.32MnO3 with different degrees of preparation- induced octahedral disorder. The crystal and defect structure is investigated by means of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. We apply the small polaron theory developed by Firsov and Lang in order to study the hopping mobility in the paramagnetic phase and its changes due to the formation of the antiferromagnetic charge ordered (CO) and the ferromagnetic metallic phases. Although it represents a single particle theory, reasonable estimates of small polaron properties such as formation energy, activation energy and transfer integral are possible, if the effects of interactions and disorder are taken into account. Beyond the well-known effect of the magnetic double exchange on the transfer integral, we show that the emergence of band transport of small polarons in the CMR transition sensibly depends on the degree of octahedral disorder, the polaron-polaron interactions and the resulting long range order leading to a structural phase transition in the CO phase

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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
