This work is addressed to study the crystal structure and morphology, as well as the thermodynamic, dielectric and magnetic properties of Eu 0.8 Y 0.2 MnO 3 ceramics, synthesized by urea sol-gel combustion method. The experimental results were systematically compared with data available for the corresponding single crystals. Though the effect of the anisotropy on both dielectric and magnetic properties is missing, they enabled us to investigate the main physical mechanisms associated with their magnetoelectric properties, in particular the one which drives the ferroelectric phase. The phase sequence and critical temperatures are in good agreement with the corresponding values reported for single crystals. Similarly, structural results evidence strong distortions of the crystal lattice, enhancing the ferromagnetic interactions over the antiferomagnetic ones. A significant contribution of the magnetic fluctuations above T N was also evidenced from the magnetization studies.
A study of the floating of a circular cone shaped buoy in an ideal fluid has revealed some new interesting results. Using reduced variables it is shown, that at a crossover value ( 3 4 ) of the ratio of the specific masses of the fluid and of the buoy, the anharmonicity of the oscillation is the highest and that, unexpectedly, above this crossover value the normalized period is constant.
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.
