Interdecadal variability of the relationship between the East Asian winter monsoon and ENSO
The authors examine relationships between the East Asian winter monsoon and the ENSO, particularly on the interdecadal timescales. Based on the analyses of SLP data from 1899 to 1997, the East-Asian winter mon...

Magnetic Nanostructures Produced By Electron Beam Direct Writing
We present a method of direct magnetic patterning of nonmagnetic CoC and CoTaC films by electron irradiation-induced nano-scale phase transition. CoxC1-x (0.4<X<0.8) films were prepared by co-sputtering. The as-d...

Magnetotransport properties of a layered La1.6Ca1.4Mn2O7 polycrystal
Magnetotransport properties of a two-layered La1.6Ca1.4Mn2O7 polycrystal have been examined as a function of temperature and applied field. It was found that the magnetic transition temperature (Tc) is about 70 K...

Bulk Mg-Cu-Y-Al Alloys in the Amorphous, Supercooled Liquid and Crystalline States
Bulk Mg-Cu-Y-Al alloys, prepared by casting into a wedge-shaped copper mold, have been studied in the as-prepared, the supercooled liquid, and the crystalline states. In the as-prepared state x-ray diffraction...

An ab initio study of methane activation on lanthanide oxide
Ab initio MP2 calculations have been carried out to study the activation of methane on lanthanide oxide La2O3. O- and O2 2- are assumed to be the active species on the oxide surface. The p...
