At the tip of the twentieth century, an important development was once made in biotechnology in its widest experience. This development used to be mostly attainable due to joint efforts of most sensible educational researchers in either natural basic sciences and utilized study. the excess price of such interdisciplinary ways was once basically highlighted in the course of the ninth eu Congress on Biotechnology that used to be held in Brussels, Belgium (11-15 July, 1999). the current quantity within the ‘Focus on Biotechnology’ sequence, entiteld ‘Physics and Chemistry foundation for Biotechnology’ comprises chosen shows from this assembly, a set of specialists has made critical efforts to offer a number of the most up-to-date advancements in quite a few medical fields and to unveil potential evolutions at the threshold of the hot millenium. In all contributions the emphasis is on rising new components of analysis during which physicochemical ideas shape the basis. In studying the several chapters, it seems that greater than ever major advances in biotechnology quite often rely on breakthroughs within the biotechnology itself (e.g.

We now come to the important question of how to describe the magnetization of a ferro­ magnetic material below its Curie temperature. Ofcourse, when the temperature approaches zero kelvin only the lowest level of the (2J + 1)-manifold will be populated and we have In order to find the magnetization between T = 0 and Eq. 9) which we will write now in the form we have to return to with where is the total field responsible for the level splitting of the 2J + 1 ground-state manifold. The total magnetic field experienced by the atomic moments in a ferromagnet is and, since we are interested in the spontaneous magnetization (at H = 0), we have to use (Eq.

So the exchange interaction itself does not impose any restriction on the direction of The two magnetic structures shown in Fig. 1 have the same energy when only the exchange term in the Hamiltonian is considered. and the same The examples shown in Fig. 1 are ferromagnetic structures reasoning can be held for antiferromagnetic structures in which the moments are either parallel and antiparallel to or parallel and antiparallel to a direction perpendicular to c. Also in these cases, the two antiferromagnetic structures have the same energy.

4), of with and the concomitant level splitting as adjustable parameters. The calculated curve is then fitted with the experimental curve. Another relatively simple method to obtain an experimental value for consists in measuring the temperature dependence of the specific heat. 48 CHAPTER 5. CRYSTAL FIELDS Until now, we have used the 4f wave functions corresponding to the represen­ tation to calculate the perturbing influence of the crystal field by means of the Hamiltonian given in Eq. 7). This means that we have tacitly assumed that the crystal–field interaction is small compared to the spin–orbit interaction introduced via the Russell–Saunders coupling and Hund’s rules, and that J and m are good quantum numbers.
