ABSTRACT

By means of nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate T(1)(-1), we follow the spin dynamics as a function of the applied magnetic field in two gapped quasi-one-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets: the anisotropic spin-chain system NiCl(2)-4SC(NH(2))(2) and the spin-ladder system (C(5)H(12)N)(2)CuBr(4). In both systems, spin excitations are confirmed to evolve from magnons in the gapped state to spinons in the gapless Tomonaga-Luttinger-liquid state. In between, T(1)(-1) exhibits a pronounced, continuous variation, which is shown to scale in accordance with quantum criticality. We extract the critical exponent for T(1)(-1), compare it to the theory, and show that this behavior is identical in both studied systems, thus demonstrating the universality of quantum-critical behavior.

ABSTRACT

We present a 14N nuclear magnetic resonance study of a single crystal of CuBr4(C5H12N)2 (BPCB) consisting of weakly coupled spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic ladders. Treating ladders in the gapless phase as Luttinger liquids, we are able to fully account for (i) the magnetic field dependence of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate T1(-1) at 250 mK and for (ii) the phase transition to a 3D ordered phase occurring below 110 mK due to weak interladder exchange coupling. BPCB is thus an excellent model system where the possibility to control Luttinger liquid parameters in a continuous manner is demonstrated and the Luttinger liquid model tested in detail over the whole fermion band.

ABSTRACT

A crescente demanda por produtos cosméticos estáveis, seguros e eficazes tem exigido da comunidade científica estudos cada vez mais complexos e utilização de técnicas mais eficientes para determinação da estabilidade dos produtos. O uso de ativos da biodiversidade brasileira levou ao desenvolvimento de inúmeros produtos, nas mais diferentes formas cosméticas, o que dificulta, ainda mais, a padronização de protocolos experimentais para atestara estabilidade das preparações cosméticas. Embora não exista no Brasil um protocolo que padronize os ensaiosa serem realizados para se determinar a estabilidade dos produtos, vários estudos foram realizados nos meios acadêmicos para determinação da estabilidadede matérias-primas específicas. As características reológicas são propriedades importantes a serem consideradas na fabricação, estocagem e aplicação de produtos de uso tópico. Além de ensaios comumente empregados, a determinação do comportamento reológico da formulação auxilia na avaliação da natureza físico-química do veículo, de tal forma que torna possível detectar sinais precoces de instabilidade física, possibilitando o controle de qualidade dos constituintes, das formulações teste e dos produtos finais. A análise térmica também é usada para auxiliar o estudo da estabilidade de produtos cosméticos e, de modo geral, a calorimetria exploratória diferencial para orientar o desenvolvimento de novos produtos. Outras ferramentas, como a fluorimetria e a granulometria a laser podem auxiliar o estudo e o desenvolvimento de sistemas, emulsionados ou não. O objetivo deste estudo é o desenvolvimento de protocolo para o estudo da estabilidade físico-química de fitocosméticos - sistemas contendo ativos da biodiversidade brasileira.

ABSTRACT

We present a 2D NMR investigation of the gapped spin-1/2 compound Cu2(C5H10N2D2)2Cl4. Our measurements reveal the presence of a magnetic field-induced transverse staggered magnetization (TSM) which persists well below and above the field-induced 3D long-range magnetically ordered (FIMO) phase. The symmetry of this TSM is different from that of the TSM induced by the order parameter of the FIMO phase. Its origin, field dependence, and symmetry can be explained by an intradimer Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, as shown by DMRG calculations on a spin-1/2 ladder. This leads us to predict that the transition into the FIMO phase is not in the BEC universality class.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The importance of child's play and its assessment for the therapy of deaf children. AIM: To analyze the organization of the act of playing between hearing mothers and deaf children, how it can be assessed and its relation with language acquisition. METHOD: Analysis of video recordings of six deaf children playing with their mothers in three different moments, with intervals between the recordings of 6 months each. Criteria were established for the analysis of the data. RESULTS: All of the children presented a language acquisition delay and a very poor interaction with their mothers. During one year five out of the six mothers modified their way of playing. CONCLUSION: Playing might (and should) be an efficient parameter to assess the therapy of deaf children.


Tema: a importância da brincadeira e sua avaliação, para a terapia da criança surda. Objetivo: analisar como ocorre a organização da brincadeira entre mães ouvintes e filhos surdos, como esta pode ser analisada e sua relação com a aquisição da linguagem. Método: analisede gravações de seis crianças surdas brincando com suas mães, em três momentos, com intervalos de seis meses. Criação de critérios para esta análise. Resultados: todas as criançastinham atraso de linguagem e a interação era bastante precária. No decorrer de um ano, cinco das seis mães modificaram sua forma de brincar. Conclusão: a brincadeira pode (edeve) ser um bom parâmetro de avaliação e serve como instrumento mediador da terapia para crianças surdas.

ABSTRACT

The synthesis, crystal structure, and magnetic properties are reported for the new bimetallic compound Cu(op)(2)MnCl(4), where op = HN(CH(2))(5)NH. The compound, C(10)H(24)N(4)Cl(4)CuMn, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n. Cell dimensions are as follows: a = 15.316(3) Å, b = 16.608(3) Å, c = 7.141(2) Å, beta = 100.01(5) degrees, Z = 4. The structure consists of well-separated and magnetically equivalent layers which are composed of chloride-bridged Cu(op)(2)MnCl(4) binuclear units connected by rather loose Cu-N-H.Cl-Mn contacts. The MnCl(4) fragment approximates tetrahedral symmetry. The Cu(II) geometry is (4 + 1) square-pyramidal with the apical position occupied by a bridging chloride ligand and the basal ones by the nitrogen atoms from the organic ligands. The shortest interlayer M.M separations, approximately 7 Å, are of the Mn.Cu type. Magnetic susceptibility and single-crystal EPR measurements for the compound have been carried out over the range 4-300 K. At room temperature the chiT product (per MnCu unit) has a value of 4.84 emu.mol(-)(1).K, close to that expected for uncoupled S = (5)/(2) and S = (1)/(2) spins. When the temperature is lowered, chiT remains almost constant until 80-90 K, slightly increases to reach a maximum at approximately 13 K (5.21 emu.mol(-)(1).K), and then rapidly decreases. Comparison between theory and experiment, made with use of both a mean field corrected dimer model and an approximate 2-D model, indicates that Mn(II).Cu(II) exchange is ferromagnetic within the dimers (J(1) approximately 2.6 cm(-)(1)) and antiferromagnetic among dimers, with J values between -0.07 and -0.03 cm(-)(1) (the interaction Hamiltonian is of the form H = -2JS(A).S(B)). Single-crystal EPR spectra recorded along the a, b, and c axes show a large temperature dependence of the g factors: at 4.2 K, g(a) = 2.10, g(b) = 1.96, and g(c) = 2.01. This pattern substantiates the presence of a 2-D magnetic structure with ferromagnetic intradimer exchange and interdimer antiferromagnetic exchange of weaker magnitude. The opposite signs of the interactions are ascribed to the local symmetries of the Cu(II) and Mn(II) ions.
