The structural and magnetic properties of functionalized carbon chains doped with 4d transition metals, such as Ru, Rh, and Pd, were investigated using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method. The carbon nanowire doped with Ru exhibited a ferromagnetic ground state with a sizable magnetic moment, while those doped with Rh and Pd had nonmagnetic ground states. For the Ru-doped chain, the density of states at the Fermi level showed large spin polarization, which suggests that the doped nanowire could be used for spintronic applications.

We used $^1H$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to study the phase transitions and molecular dynamics in a characteristic ferroelectric liquid crystal with a carbon number n = 7, S-2-methylbutyl 4-n-heptyloxybiphenyl-4'-carboxylate (C7). The results were compared with those of our recent work on S-2-methylbutyl 4-n-octanoyloxybiphenyl-4'-carboxylate (C8), with a carbon number n = 8. While the recrystallization and isotropic phase transitions exhibited a first-order nature in the $^1H$ NMR spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation measurements, a second-order nature was shown at the Sm-A - Sm-$C^*$ liquid crystalline phase transition. A soft-mode anomaly arising from the tilt angle amplitude fluctuation of the director, of which only a hint had been noticed in the C8 system, was manifested in the C7 system at this transition.

Phylogenetic and amino acid sequence analysis indicated that rice allene oxide synthase-1 (OsAOS1) is CYP74, and is clearly distinct from CYP74B, C and D subfamilies. Regio- and stereo-chemical analysis revealed the dual substrate specificity of OsAOS1 for (cis,trans)-configurational isomers of 13(S)- and 9(S)-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid. GC-MS analysis showed that OsAOS1 converts 13(S)- and 9(S)-hydroperoxyoctadecadi(tri)enoic acid into their corresponding allene oxide. UV-Visible spectral analysis of native OsAOS1 revealed a Soret maximum at 393 nm, which shifted to 424 nm with several clean isobestic points upon binding of OsAOS1 to imidazole. The spectral shift induced by imidazole correlated with inhibition of OsAOS1 activity, implying that imidazole may coordinate to ferric heme iron, triggering a heme-iron transition from high spin state to low spin state. The implications and significance of a putative type II ligand-induced spin state transition in OsAOS1 are discussed.

Recent multifunctional two-dimensional material research has triggered huge interests in various modifications for substitution of atoms. Instead of novel metals used as the most popular catalysts, nonprecious transition metals are promising candidates for efficient oxidation-reduction transfers. The recent discovery of $Co@C_2N$ has an alternate possiblity as catalysts for the ORR(Oxygen Reduction Reaction) in DSSc(Dye Sensitized Solar Cell) and OER(Oxygen evolution cobalt oxides). Here we report spin-polarized DFT calculations of the structure doped Iron that is one of ferromagnetism atoms like Co to provide a basic desciption of the ferromagnetism of the elemental metals. The spin-density-funtional results present the most stable state energetically is when having pairwise up/down spin.

We study the electron spin resonance line-width (ESRLW) of $Fe^{3+}$ in crystalline $LiNbO_3$ ; the ESRLW is obtained using the projection operator method (POM) developed by Argyres and Sigel. The ESRLW is calculated to be axially symmetric about the c-axis and is analyzed by the spin Hamiltonian with an isotopic g factor at a frequency of 9.5 GHz. The ESRLW increases exponentially as the temperature increases, and the ESRLW is almost constant in the high-temperature region (T>8000 K). This kind of temperature dependence of the ESRLW indicates a motional narrowing of the spectrum when $Fe^{3+}$ ions substitute the $Nb^{5+}$ ions in an off-center position. It is clear from this feature that there are two different regions in the graph of the temperature dependence of the ESRLW.

The spin cutoff parameters of $^{50-57}Cr$ isotopes have been calculated using a superconducting Hamiltonian with the inclusion of the pairing effect. Their energy and temperature dependences have been studied through comparison with some well-known semi-empirical formulae. This study shows that the microscopic calculation results converge to the Fermi gas model prediction at higher energies. Also, an even-odd effect is evident in the spin cutoff parameters at low temperatures and disappears after the pairing phase transition.

This study examined the magnetic properties of ultrathin Fe/Ni films on a Cu(001) surface using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method. The magnetic moment of Fe/Ni films was found to be insensitive to strain. Nevertheless, strain had a significant influence on the magnetization direction. For example, Fe/Ni films showed a thickness-dependent spin reorientation transition in the presence of strain, while the Fe/Ni films grown pseudomorphically on Cu(001) always showed perpendicular magnetization. In addition, the theoretically calculated X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) was examined.

Starting with Kubo's formula and using the projection operator technique introduced by Kawabata, EPR lineprofile function for a $Mn^{2+}$-doped wurtzite structure GaN semiconductor was derived as a function of temperature at a frequency of 9.49 GHz (X-band) in the presence of external electromagnetic field. The line-width is barely affected in the low-temperature region because there is no correlation between the resonance fields and the distribution function. At higher temperature the line-width increases with increasing temperature due to the interaction of electrons with acoustic phonons. Thus, the present technique is considered to be more convenient to explain the resonant system as in the case of other optical transition systems.

The temperature dependence of DC magnetic susceptibilities of three austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni stainless alloys were measured in the temperature range of 4.2 and 300 K. Two alloys support a general magnetic description of austen-itic stsinless steels in terms of a two-magnetic-phase (spin glass + superparamagnetic cluster) model and one alloy shows magnetic double transition phenomena. Also this study shows that incressing the Ni/Cr ratio in Fe-Cr-Ni alloys causes a increase of the DC susceptibility peak value and a decrease of the magnetic transition temperature.

Semiconductor quantum structures are often characterized by their energy gaps which are modified by the quantum size effect. Energy levels in semiconductors can be realized by optical transitions within confined structures. Photoluminescence spectroscopy in magnetic fields at low temperatures has proved to be a powerful technique for investigating the electronic states of quantum semiconductor heterostructures and offers a complimentary tool to electrical transport studies. In this review, we examine comprehensive investigations of magneto-excitonic and Landau transitions in a large variety of undoped and doped quantum-well structures. Strong magnetic fields change the diamagnetic energy shift of free excitons from quadratic to linear in B in undoped single quantum well samples. Two-dimensional electron gas induced by modulation doping shows pronounce quantum oscillations in integer quantum Hall regime and discontinuous transition at ${\nu}=1$. Such discontinuous transition can be explained as the formation of spin waves or Skyrmions.
