The magnetization, M(H< or =30 T,0.7< or =T< or =300 K), of (C5H12N)2CuBr4 has been used to identify this system as an S = 1/2 Heisenberg two-leg ladder in the strong-coupling limit, J( perpendicular) = 13.3 K and J( parallel) = 3.8 K, with H(c1) = 6.6 T and H(c2) = 14.6 T. An inflection point in M(H,T = 0.7 K) at half saturation, M(s)/2, is described by an effective XXZ chain. The data exhibit universal scaling behavior in the vicinity of H(c1) and H(c2), indicating that the system is near a quantum critical point.
Highly internal phase emulsion (polyHIPE) materials are promising macrocellular foams bearing versatile applications ranging from catalysis, optics, filtration, insulator and so forth. In this critical review water-in-oil HIPE, oil-in-water HIPE and Pickering-based HIPE are discussed. Also in each above-mentioned HIPE family, declination between the organic, inorganic or hybrid-organic foams chemical nature is proposed. The polyHIPE audience is thereby strongly interdisciplinary in nature crossing boundaries of physical chemistry, colloids, polymer science, sol-gel chemistry, hybrid materials, biology and beyond (114 references).
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.
