Raw data for High Temperature Photochromism of Fe-Doped SrTiO3 Caused by UV Induced Bulk Stoichiometry Changes
No full textIn the following the raw data lying the foundation of the paper High Temperature Photochromism of Fe-Doped SrTiO3 Caused by UV Induced Bulk Stoichiometry Changes (Viernstein et al.) published in Advanced Functional Materials Vo. 29 Issue 23 (WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Germany) in 2019 are described. They were obtained under the funding provided by Austrian Science Fund (FWF) (project F4509-N16, FOXSI) and the European Union`s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the grant agreement No. 824072 and consist of UV/VIS spectra, van der Pauw measurements, electrochemical impedance spectra, and laser ablation ICP-MS data.
The UV/VIS measurements were carried out in air, at 440 °C using a deuterium and a tungsten lamp (Edmund Optics Inc., Germany) as light source and an Ocean Optics QE6500 (Halma plc, England) as spectrometer. The data include background, I0 and I absorption measurements of Fe doped SrTiO3 (STO) single crystals before, during, and after illumination with UV light (365 nm). The data files are labeled for example as “UVvis_FeSTO_background_1” or ”UVvis_FeSTO_I_440C_UVon_90s”, to state the type auf measurement, temperature, and status of the experiment. In each of them the average of 30 spectra is given and each exhibits two columns, namely wavelength, and intensity.
The van der Pauw measurements were performed on two Keithley 20 multimeter and a 2410 1100 V source meter (Keithley Instruments, USA). They are labeled in the following way: “date_applied voltage_atmosphere_sample identification_temperature cycle_status of the measurement”. Each file consists out of a header giving time, cycle number, temperature (real and set) and six columns, t[s], (applied) U[V], (measured) I[A], R [Ohm], and two unnamed columns ((applied) U[V] and (measured) U [V]).
The electrochemical impedance spectra were obtained before, during, and after UV exposure, using an Electrochemical Test Station POT/GAL 30 V/2 A or a Novocontrol Alpha‐A high‐performance frequency analyzer, respectively (both Novocontrol Technologies GmbH & Co. KG, Germany). Each spectrum is named after the following description: “date_sample name_UVonoff_real temperature_atmosphere_spectra number”. A header with date, time, cycle number, and temperature followed by four columns, namely Freq [Hz], Re (real part of the impedance spectra), Im (imaginary part), Amp (amplitude), and Pha (phase) are given.
Laser ablation ICP-MS measurements were performed on a NWR213 laser ablation system (ESI; USA) and an iCAP Q ICP-MS (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Germany). The obtained data file is labeled as Iaser_ablation_ICP_MS_FeSTO and exhibits sample names, names of the measured masses (isotopes) and the obtained counts

The Author of the Alexander Romance
No full textThis paper, which is based on a portion of the introduction of the author’s edition of Il Romanzo di Alessandro (Mondadori: Fondazione Valla 2007), surveys the generic components of the Alexander Romance in an attempt to arrive at a definition of the work. The argument builds on Merkelbach’s categorisation of elements and uses Fusillo’s insight into the novel as an ‘encyclopaedic genre’ to propose that ‘historical novel’ is not, as Hägg contended, a misnomer for the work. The main components I discuss are: ‘life’; praxeis; chreiai; Cynic elements, including choliambic poetry and utopian perspectives; and the Egyptian aspects of the narrative. A concluding jeu d’esprit offers a characterisation of the putative author, his antecedents and his process of composition.Richard Stoneman was for 25 years editor for classics at Croom Helm and then Routledge. In 1997 he was appointed an Honorary Fellow in the department of classics, University of Exeter. After retiring from publishing in 2006 he has been pursuing his researches on the Alexander legends and teaching a course on the subject at Exeter. His Penguin translation of the Alexander Romance was published in 1991, and a volume of translated Legends of Alexander the Great appeared from Everyman in 1994. Also in 1994 he co-edited Greek Fiction with John Morgan. His edition of the Greek recensions of the Alexander Romance was published (volume I) by the Fondazione Valla in 2007 – volumes II and III will follow over the next few years – and his Alexander the Great: A Life in Legend appeared from Yale University Press in spring 2008. He is the author of a number of other books on Greek history and travel, and is writing a book on oracles

„... daß einem leid tut, wie er aufgehört hat, deutsch zu sein“ - Alexander von Humboldt, Preußen und Amerika
Get PDFAbstractWithin the context of the recent „Prussia Tricentennial 2001“, this paper encourages a different view of Prussia by offering a new look on the writings and activities of one of its most famous citizens, Alexander von Humboldt. Starting with the traditional (and problematic) image of Prussia focussed on the Hohenzollern and, above all, Friedrich II, it highlights the problems between Prussian and German historiography on one side, and the author of „Cosmos“ and his world-wide prestige on the other. Interestingly enough, the tensions or misunderstandings between Alexander and his home country can be dated back to the Humboldt family, i.e. to Wilhelm from Humboldt who noted, in a letter to his wife, how his brother had „stopped to be German“. Alexander von Humboldt's cosmopolitanism and the characteristic development of his scientific conceptions, building a globalized and globalizing praxis based upon a scientific network and continous comparisons in global scale, allow us to discover new dimensions in Humboldtian science and thinking as well as promising perspectives for understanding Alexander von Humboldt's role and significance for transdisciplinary science today -and a different view of Prussia and cultural identity in Europe beyond the well-known stereotypes
by Alexander Manshel, and an Interview with the Author
No full textAlexander Manshel talks to the editors about his first book, Writing Backwards: Historical Fiction and the Reshaping of the American Canon (Columbia University Press, 2023), part of which is reprinted here with his permission (Chapter 2: The Making of the Greatest Generation). As the author writes, the book argues that over the last forty years the American literary field has transformed to celebrate narratives of the historical past over all other literary genres. In this period, key literary institutions—from the National Endowment for the Arts to major literary prizes and university English departments—have worked to promote the idea that historical fiction is singular in its artistic seriousness, its pedagogical utility, and its political potency. This shift in literary value has gone hand in hand with the increasing recognition and canonization of Black, Asian American, Latinx, and Indigenous writers in the United States: that is, the vast majority of minoritized writers who have been consecrated by these institutions over the last four decades have been celebrated for writing about the historical past
