- The gamma-ray instruments on board INTEGRAL have detected and localized 62 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) to date. The peak flux distribution of these bursts shows that INTEGRAL detects proportionally more weak GRBs than Swift because of its higher sensitivity in a smaller field of view. Spectral lags, i.e., the time delay in the arrival of low-energy gamma rays with respect to high-energy gamma rays, are measured for 31 of the GRBs. Two groups are identified in the spectral lag distribution of INTEGRAL GRBs, one with short lags < 0.75 s (between 25-50 keV and 50-300 keV) and one with long lags > 0.75 s. Most of the long-lag GRBs are inferred to have low redshifts because of their long spectral lags. They are mainly observed in the direction of the supergalactic plane and hence reflect the local large-scale structure of the Universe. This low-luminosity population appears to be distinct from typical cosmological GRBs.

- We have investigated the anisotropy in electronic transport of the layered ternary Ti2GeC by comparing the results of measurements on c-axis oriented epitaxial thin-film and polycrystalline bulk samples. The electrical conductivities, Hall coefficients, and magnetoresistances were analyzed within a multi-band framework. An adequate description of the magnetotransport data on the film with the highest mobility required the use of the explicit field-dependent conductivity tensor with three conduction bands. The analysis indicated that n ˜ p, although with n ˜ 3.5 × 1027 m- 3. The ratio of the a- to c-axis conductivities is small and contrary to theoretical predictions. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
