- The magnetic properties of the (Fe,Mn)(2)(P,Si)-system have been shown to be readily manipulated by small changes in composition. This study surveys the FeMnP1-xSix-system (0.00 <= x <= 1.00) reporting sample syntheses and investigations of crystallographic and magnetic properties using X-ray powder diffraction and magnetic measurements. Two single phase regions exist: the orthorhombic Co2P-type structure (x < 0.15) and the Fe2P-type structure (0.24 <= x < 0.50). Certain compositions have potential for use in magnetocaloric applications.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Magnetization dynamics of a model superspin glass system consisting of nearly monodispersed close-packed maghemite particles of diameter 8 nm is investigated. The observed non-equilibrium features of the dynamics are qualitatively similar to those of atomic spin glass systems. The intrinsic relaxation function, as observed in zero-field-cooled magnetization relaxation experiments, depends on the time the sample has been kept at constant temperature (ageing). Accompanying low-field experiments show that the archetypal spin glass characteristics -ageing, memory and rejuvenation- are reproduced in this dense system of dipolar-dipolar interacting superspins.

Effects of the individual particle relaxation time on superspin glass dynamics
- 2016
-
Ingår i: PHYSICAL REVIEW B. - 2469-9950. ; 93:5
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The low temperature dynamic magnetic properties of two dense magnetic nanoparticle assemblies with similar superspin glass transition temperatures T-g similar to 140 K are compared. The two samples are made from batches of 6 and 8 nm monodisperse gamma-Fe2O3 nanoparticles, respectively. The properties of the individual particles are extracted from measurements on reference samples where the particles have been covered with a thick silica coating. The blocking temperatures of these dilute assemblies are found at 12.5 K for the 6 nm particles and at 35 K for the 8 nm particles, which implies different anisotropy energy barriers of the individual particles and vastly different temperature evolution of their relaxation times. The results of the measurements on the concentrated particle assemblies suggest a strong influence of the particle energy barrier on the details of the aging dynamics, memory behavior, and apparent superspin dimensionality of the particles.

Interacting Magnetic Nanosystems : An Experimental Study Of Superspin Glasses
- 2017
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis presents experimental results on strongly interacting γ-Fe2O3 magnetic nanoparticles and their collective properties. The main findings are that very dense randomly packed (≈60%) γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles form a replica of a spin glass. The magnetic properties of the nanoparticle system are in most regards the same as those of an atomic spin glass. The system is therefore proposed as a model superspin glass. In superspin glasses the interacting building blocks that form the collective state are single domain nanoparticles, superspins with a magnetic moment of about 10000 μB, which can be compared to the atomic magnetic moment in spin glasses of approximately 1 μB. It was found that the relaxation time of the individual nanoparticles impacts the collective properties and governs the superspin dimensionality. Several dense compacts, each prepared with nanoparticles of a specific size, with diameters 6, 8, 9 and 11.5 nm, were studied. All the studied compacts were found to form a superspin glass state. Non-interacting reference samples, consisting of the same particles but coated with a silica shell, were synthesized to determine the single particle magnetic properties. It was also found that the effects of the nanoparticle size distribution, which lead to a variation of the magnetic properties, can be mitigated by having strong enough interparticle interactions. The majority of the work was carried out using SQUID magnetometry.

Particle size-dependent superspin glass behavior in random compacts of monodisperse maghemite nanoparticles
- 2016

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Dense random assemblies made from highly monodisperse gamma-Fe2O3 nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 6.2 to 11.5 nm have been investigated by DC and AC magnetometry. It is found that all assemblies undergo superspin glass phase transitions. The superspin glass phase transition temperature is strongly dependent on the particle size and the nature of the interparticle interaction. However the transition from superparamagnet to superspin glass, as evidenced by the shape of the ac-susceptibility curves and the dynamic critical exponents associated with the transition, is similar in all systems.

Size-dependent surface effects in maghemite nanoparticles and its impact on interparticle interactions in dense assemblies
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Nanotechnology. - : IOP Publishing. - 0957-4484 .- 1361-6528. ; 26:47

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The question of the dominant interparticle magnetic interaction type in random closely packed assemblies of different diameter (6.2-11.5 nm) bare maghemite nanoparticles (NPs) is addressed. Single-particle magnetic properties such as particle anisotropy and exchange bias field are first of all studied in dilute (reference) systems of these same NPs, where interparticle interactions are neglible. Substantial surface spin disorder is revealed in all particles except the smallest, viz. for diameters d = 8-11.5 nm but not for d = 6.2-6.3 nm. X-ray diffraction analysis points to a crystallographic origin of this effect. The study of closely packed assemblies of the d >= 8 nm particles observes collective (superspin) freezing that clearly appears to be governed by interparticle dipole interactions. However, the dense assemblies of the smallest particles exhibit freezing temperatures that are higher than expected from a simple (dipole) extrapolation of the corresponding temperatures found in the d >= 8 nm assemblies. It is suggested that the nature of the dominant interparticle interaction in these smaller particle assemblies is superexchange, whereby the lack of significant surface spin disorder allows this mechanism to become important at the level of interacting superspins.

- The crystal and magnetic structures of AlFe2B2 have been studied with a combination of X-ray and neutron diffraction and electronic structure calculations. The magnetic and magnetocaloric properties have been investigated by magnetisation measurements. The samples have been produced using high temperature synthesis and subsequent heat treatments. The compound crystallises in the orthorhombic crystal system Cmmm and it orders ferromagnetically at 285 K through a second order phase transition. At temperatures below the magnetic transition the magnetic moments align along the crystallographic a-axis. The magnetic entropy change from 0 to 800 kA/m was found to be - 1.3 J/K kg at the magnetic transition temperature.

Proposed Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons in nanostructured films of Gd at low temperature and its manifestations in electrical resistivity and magnetoresistance
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Journal of Physics. - 0953-8984 .- 1361-648X. ; 29:25
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we report the observation of a proposed Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of magnons in a temperature range of around 15-20 K in nanostructured films of Gd with grain sizes that are much larger than the size range where superparamagentism is expected. The observation was carried out using magnetic as well as high precision resistivity and magnetoresistance (MR) measurements performed to low temperatures. We observe that the experimental observations depend crucially on one parameter, namely softening of the spin wave stiffness parameter D at BEC and the resistivity as well as MR can be related quantitatively to magnetic measurements through the temperature variation of the constant D in the vicinity of the transition. This paper establishes that the BEC reported before in nanocrystalline Gd can be extended to a somewhat larger size range.

Asymmetry and the moderating effects of formal institutional distance on the relationship between cultural distance and performance of foreign subsidiaries in Latin America
- 2019
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study investigates how Cultural and Formal Institutional distances and their interaction affect the performance of multinational foreign subsidiaries in Latin America. It is shown that using Kogut and Singh (1988) index or attributing the positive and negative signals to distances in opposite directions fail to capture asymmetric effects as it assumes either symmetry or opposing symmetry. To overcome such limitations, I propose an alternative measurement, which allows capturing the asymmetric effects of distances on the performance of foreign subsidiary firms. To test the main research question, I run a panel data model including 1466 subsidiaries, being 1216 from developed and 250 from developing countries, totaling 168 combinations of different home and host countries for a period ranging from 2013 to 2015.Cultural Distance is measured using Hofstede (1980) dimensions and Formal Institutional distances are calculated using the six World Governance Indicator’s variables. Findings show that when the direction of cultural and formal institutional distances is included, the effects on performance are in fact asymmetric. Moreover, not all formal institutional distances affect in a negative manner the performance of developed country subsidiaries operating in less developed countries as these firms seem to know how to interpret and respond to different regulatory quality conditions in the host countries. Latin American firms are in advantage when dealing with formal institutional distances while being affected in the same manner by cultural distances if compared to other emerging market firms from outside Latin America. Emerging market firms are affected in a positive manner while operating in less developed countries and in a negative way when institutions in the host country are superior to its home country. Finally, results show that formal institutional distance positively moderates the relationship between cultural distance and performance particularly when formal institutional distance is towards less developed countries. It can be concluded that despite the fact that cultural values remain fairly stable over time, the contextual changes in terms of formal institutions (and formal institutional distances among countries) will modify the way cultural distance affects the performance and the competitiveness of firms around the world.

Effect of pseudo-Tsai cluster incorporation on the magnetic structures of R-Au-Si (R = Tb, Ho) quasicrystal approximants
- 2022
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In cluster-based quasicrystals, tetrahedra located in conventional Tsai clusters may be replaced by single rare-earth (R) ions at the cluster centers (pseudo-Tsai clusters). In this study, we investigate the effect of the pseudo-Tsai cluster incorporation on the magnetic structures of two approximants, the Tsai-type Tb-Au-Si [denoted TAS(0)] and Ho-Au-Si [denoted HAS(52)] with partial replacement of conventional Tsai clusters by pseudo-Tsai clusters, up to 52%. The mixture of Tsai and pseudo-Tsai clusters can be considered a different source of randomness/disorder other than the conventional chemical mix sites (Au/Si). The effect of the latter has been previously discussed regarding the origin/cause of spin-glass-like ordering and Anderson localization of electronic states in quasicrystals and approximant crystals. Single crystal neutron diffraction experiments at 2 K were performed and bulk physical properties (magnetization and specific heat) were investigated. In addition, earlier collected powder neutron diffraction data of TAS(14) with 14% replacement was reanalyzed in light of the results on TAS(0) and HAS(52). We find that the arrangement of ordered magnetic spins in the icosahedral shells of these phases is similar, while the cluster-center R magnetic states are different. In the case of TAS(14), the cluster-center Tb magnetic moments seem to affect the arrangement of surrounding icosahedral magnetic moments, and the magnetic structure of the icosahedral shell deviates from that of TAS(0). In the case of HAS(52), however, the icosahedral R magnetic moments are less affected by the cluster-center R, while the averaged cluster-center R magnetic moments are significantly diminished. We discuss these results considering the magnetic ordering effect on the bulk physical properties.

- FeMnP0.75Si0.25 experiences a first order para- to ferromagnetic transition at about 200 K. In common with some other alloy compositions crystallizing in the Fe2P structure, the magnetic transition of the as prepared alloy occurs at a lower temperature than on subsequent cooling events. This virgin effect is found to be accompanied by a magnetostrictively induced irreversible structure change that persists on succeeding cooling heating cycles. These findings provide means to understand and control the thermal hysteresis of the (Fe1-xMnx)(2)P1-ySiy alloy system which is a promising material class for use in magnetocaloric refrigerators.

Revising the embryonic origin of thyroid C cells in mice and humans

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Current understanding infers a neural crest origin of thyroid C cells, the major source of calcitonin in mammals and ancestors to neuroendocrine thyroid tumors. The concept is primarily based on investigations in quail-chick chimeras involving fate-mapping of neural crest cells to the ultimobranchial glands that regulate Ca(2+) homeostasis in birds, reptiles, amphibians and fishes, but whether mammalian C cell development implicates a homologous ontogenetic trajectory has not been experimentally verified. With lineage tracing we now provide direct evidence that Sox17+ anterior endoderm is the only source of differentiated C cells and their progenitors in mice. In similarity with many gut endoderm derivatives embryonic C cells were found to co-express pioneer factors forkhead box (Fox) a1 and Foxa2 before neuroendocrine differentiation takes place. In the ultimobranchial body epithelium emerging from pharyngeal pouch endoderm in early organogenesis differential Foxa1/Foxa2 expression distinguished two spatially separated pools of C cell precursors with different growth properties. A similar expression pattern was recapitulated in medullary thyroid carcinoma cells in vivo consistent with a growth-promoting role of Foxa1. Contrasting embryonic precursor cells, C cell-derived tumor cells invading the stromal compartment down-regulated Foxa2 foregoing epithelial-mesenchymal transition designated by loss of E-cadherin; both Foxa2 and E-cadherin were re-expressed at metastatic sites. These findings revise mammalian C cell ontogeny, expand the neuroendocrine repertoire of endoderm, and redefine the boundaries of neural crest diversification. The data further underpin distinct functions of Foxa1 and Foxa2 in both embryonic and tumor development.

International Branding and Rebranding in Cross-Border Acquisitions
- 2022
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Businesses worldwide are confronting a more internationalized market. With this trend, companies frequently turn to international branding and rebranding initiatives through the acquisition of companies to grow. During this process, businesses are updating their brand identity and/or strategy, while also dealing with various challenges. Studies focusing on these challenges on the B2B field remain little explored and are necessary, due to its highly competitive characteristic. Especially in the life science industry, due to its institutional differences between national markets in the sector. Therefore, the overall research purpose in this licentiate thesis is to describe and understand how the international branding and rebranding process is developed in the life science industry. In this thesis, two studies were made to achieve this purpose. One literature review to explore the current literature of the field and one empirical study using a single case study method. The main contribution of this licentiate thesis is to describe in-depth how the brand rebranding process is implemented in the life science industry, and its main hinders. They are: internal and external legitimation. More importantly, this study presents a framework that demonstrates how businesses in emerging regions face more external legitimation challenges as a result of institutional constraints, as opposed to developed countries, where internal legitimation barriers are more prominent during the rebranding process. This licentiate thesis contributes to creating knowledge in international branding since it provides an overview of the past years of research in the area and suggests research gaps that need further investigation. In parallel, it generates insights into the analyzed process of international branding and rebranding, bringing understanding into the corporate brand area and the management of B2B brands in life science industries.

Simulation based Evaluation of Fault Detection Algorithms : Applications to Wear Diagnosis in Manipulators
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 19th IFAC World Congress.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Fault detection algorithms (FDAs) process data to generate a test quantity. Test quantities are used to determine presence of a fault in a monitored system, despite disturbances. Because only limited knowledge of the system can be embedded in an FDA, it is important to evaluate it in scenarios relevant in practice. In this paper, simulation based approaches are proposed in an attempt to determine: i) which disturbances affect the output of an FDA the most; ii) how to compare the performance of dierent FDAs; and iii) which combinations of fault change size and disturbances variations are allowed to achieve satisfactory performance. The ideas presented are inspired by the literature of design of experiments, surrogate models, sensitivity analysis and change detection. The approaches are illustrated for the problem of wear diagnosis in manipulators where three FDAs are considered. The application study reveals that disturbances caused by variations in temperature and payload mass error affect the FDAs the most. It is also shown how the size of these disturbances delimit the capacity of an FDA to relate to wear changes. Further comparison of the FDAs reveal which performs "best" in average.

On the nature of magnetic state in the spinel Co2SnO4
- 2015

Ingår i: Journal of Physics. - : IOP Publishing. - 0953-8984 .- 1361-648X. ; 27:16

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the spinel Co2SnO4, coexistence of ferrimagnetic ordering below T-N similar or equal to 41K followed by a spin glass state below T-SG similar or equal to 39K was proposed recently based on the temperature dependence of magnetization M(T) data. Here new measurements of the temperature dependence of the specific heat C-P(T), ac-susceptibilities chi'(T) and chi ''(T) measured at frequencies between 0.51 and 1.2 kHz, and the hysteresis loop parameters (coercivity H-C(T) and remanence M-R(T)) in two differently prepared samples of Co2SnO4 are reported. The presence of the Co2+ and Sn4+ states is confirmed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) yielding the structure: Co2SnO4 = [Co2+][Co2+Sn4+]O-4. The data of C-P versus T shows only an inflection near 39K characteristic of spin-glass ordering. The analysis of the frequency dependence of ac-magnetic susceptibility data near 39K using the Vogel-Fulcher law and the power-law of the critical slowing-down suggests the presence of spin clusters in the system which is close to a spin-glass state. With a decrease in temperature below 39K, the temperature dependence of the coercivity H-C and remanence M-R for the zero-field cooled samples show both H-C and M-R reaching their peak magnitudes near 25 K, then decreasing with decreasing T and becoming negligible below 15K. The plot of C-P/T versus T also yields a weak inflection near 15 K. This temperature dependence of HC and remanence MR is likely associated with the different magnitudes of the magnetic moments of Co2+ ions on the 'A' and 'B' sites and their different temperature dependence.

Identifying Metabolites of Meclonazepam by High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry Using Human Liver Microsomes, Hepatocytes, a Mouse Model, and Authentic Urine Samples

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Meclonazepam is a benzodiazepine patented in 1977 to treat parasitic worms, which recently appeared as a designer benzodiazepine and drug of abuse. The aim of this study was to identify metabolites suitable as biomarkers of drug intake in urine using high-resolution mass spectrometry, authentic urine samples, and different model systems including human liver microsomes, cryopreserved hepatocytes, and a mice model. The main metabolites of meclonazepam found in human urine were amino-meclonazepam and acetamido-meclonazepam; also, minor peaks for meclonazepam were observed in three of four urine samples. These observations are consistent with meclonazepam having a metabolism similar to that of other nitro containing benzodiazepines such as clonazepam, flunitrazepam, and nitrazepam. Both metabolites were produced by the hepatocytes and in the mice model, but the human liver microsomes were only capable of producing minor amounts of the amino metabolite. However, under nitrogen, the amount of amino-meclonazepam produced increased 140 times. This study comprehensively elucidated meclonazepam metabolism and also illustrates that careful selection of in vitro model systems for drug metabolism is needed, always taking into account the expected metabolism of the tested drug.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Flubromazolam is a triazolam benzodiazepine that recently emerged as a new psychoactive substance. Since metabolism data are scarce and good analytical targets besides the parent are unknown, we investigated flubromazolam metabolism in vitro and in vivo. 10μmol/L flubromazolam was incubated with human liver microsomes for 1h and with cryopreserved human hepatocytes for 5h. Mice were administered 0.5 or 1.0mg flubromazolam/kg body weight intraperitoneally, urine was collected for 24h. All samples, together with six authentic forensic human case specimens, were analyzed (with or without hydrolysis, in case it was urine) by UHPLC-HRMS on an Acquity HSS T3 column with an Agilent 6550 QTOF. Data mining was performed manually and with MassMetasite software (Molecular Discovery). A total of nine metabolites were found, all generated by hydroxylation and/or glucuronidation. Besides O-glucuronidation, flubromazolam formed an N(+)-glucuronide. Flubromazolam was not metabolized extensively in vitro, as only two monohydroxy metabolites were detected in low intensity in hepatocytes. In the mice samples, seven metabolites were identified, which mostly matched the metabolites in the human samples. However, less flubromazolam N(+)-glucuronide and an additional hydroxy metabolite were observed. The six human urine specimens showed different extent of metabolism: some samples had an intense flubromazolam peak next to a minute signal for a monohydroxy metabolite, others showed the whole variety of hydroxylated and glucuronidated metabolites. Overall, the most abundant metabolite was a monohydroxy metabolite, which we propose as α-hydroxyflubromazolam based on MSMS fragmentation. These metabolism data will assist in interpretation and analytical method development.
