The magnetoresistance of single-crystal graphite has been measured at low temperatures in pulsed high magnetic fields up to 52 T applied parallel to the c axis. Many features were found in the high-field phase after the field-induced electronic phase transition. After the sharp rise at the phase transition, the resistance shows a dramatic decrease with increasing field, indicating the reentrant character of the phase boundary. The phase transition was no longer observed at the elevated temperature of 10.8 K in a field up to 48 T. Fine structures consisting of local maxima and an inflection point were observed in the high-field phase. Although the temperature dependence of the critical field is qualitatively in accord with Yoshioka and Fukuyama s charge-density-wave model, a more detailed theory is required to explain most of the present observation.
, "Underwater three-dimensional imaging laser sensor with 120-deg wide-scanning angle using the combination of a dome lens and coaxial optics," Opt. Eng. Abstract. We developed an underwater three-dimensional (3-D) imaging sensor using a 532-nm laser. The sensor system combines a dome lens with coaxial optics to realize a wide-scanning angle of 120 deg ðhorizontalÞ × 30 deg ðverticalÞ while having a compact size of 25-cm diameter and 60-cm length. A detector sensitivity time control circuit and a time-to-digital converter are used to detect a small signal and suppress the unwanted backscattered signals due to marine snow. 3-D imaging of the seafloor with 20-m width and 60-m length was demonstrated in the sea around Ishigaki Island, Japan.
A simple method of constructing a multilayer wire-wound pulse magnet was developed by using ice with woven-glass cloth as a reinforcement spacer. Employing strong copper-wire embedded with Nb-Ti filaments, magnetic fields up to 58 T were generated within an 18 mm bore-diameter with a pulse duration of about 8 ms. Even with soft copper-wire, magnetic fields of over 45 T were produced. The advantages of this method are: easy construction of the magnet, without any troublesome processes such as epoxy impregnation or high-pressure solidification; fast cooling time after a large current discharge; recovery from fatigued insulation after multiple use by a process of warming up the magnet once to room temperature and cooling it again to liquid nitrogen temperature, forming a new ice binder for the woven-glass fibre.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
