The magnetic moments of amorphous ternary alloys containing Pd, Co and Si in atomic concentrations corresponding to Pd0[subscript x]Co[subscript x]Si20 in which x is 3, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 11, have been measured between 1.8 and 300°K and in magnetic fields up to 8.35 kOe. The alloys were obtained by rapid quenching of a liquid droplet and their structures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The measurements were made in a null-coil pendulum magnetometer in which the temperature could be varied continuously without immersing the sample in a cryogenic liquid. The alloys containing 9 at.% Co or less obeyed Curie''s Law over certain temperature ranges, and had negligible permanent moments at room temperature. Those containing 10 and 11 at.% Co followed Curie''s Law only above approximately 200°K and had significant permanent moments at room temperature. For all alloys, the moments calculated from Curie''s Law were too high to be accounted for by the moments of individual Co atoms. To explain these findings, a model based on the existence of superparamagnetic clustering is proposed. The cluster sizes calculated from the model are consistent with the rapid onset of ferromagnetism in the alloys containing 10 and 11 at.% Co and with the magnetic moments in an alloy containing 7 at.% Co heat treated in such a manner as to contain a small amount of a crystalline phase. In alloys containing 7 at.% Co or less, a maximum in the magnetization vs temperature curve was observed around 10°K. This maximum was eliminated by cooling the alloy in a magnetic field, and an explanation for this observation is suggested.

The Geography of Bliss membawa pembaca melanglangbuana ke berbagai negara, dari Belanda, Swiss, Bhutan, hingga Qatar, Islandia, India, dan Amerika ... untuk mencari kebahagiaan. Buku ini adalah campuran aneh tulisan perjalanan, psikologi, sains, dan humor. Ditulis tidak untuk mencari makna kebahagiaan, tapi di mana. Apakah orang-orang di Swiss lebih bahagia karena negara mereka paling demokratis di dunia? Apakah penduduk Qatar, yang bergelimang dolar dari minyak mereka, menemukan kebahagiaan di tengah kekayaan itu? Apakah Raja Bhutan seorang pengkhayal karena berinisiatif memakai indikator kebahagiaan rakyat yang disebut Gross National Happiness sebagai prioritas nasional? Kenapa penduduk Ashville, Carolina Utara, sangat bahagia? Kenapa penduduk di Islandia, yang suhunya sangat dingin dan jauh dari mana-mana, termasuk negara yang warganya paling bahagia di dunia? Kenapa di India kebahagiaan dan kesengsaraan bisa hidup berdampingan? Dengan wawasan yang dalam dan ditulis dengan kocak, Eric Wiener membawa pembaca ke tempat-tempat yang aneh dan bertemu dengan orang-orang yang, anehnya, tampak akrab. Sebuah bacaan ringan yang sekaligus memancing pemikiran pembaca. “Lucu, mencerahkan, mengagumkan.” —Washington Post Book World “Tulisan yang menyentuh ...mendalam ...buku yang hebat!” —National Geographic “Selalu ada pencerahan di setiap halaman buku ini.” —Los Angeles Times [Mizan, Mizan Publishing, Qanita, Petualangan, Perjalanan, Dunia, Dewasa, Indonesia]

„O odisee intelectuală, un jurnal de călătorie şi un roman comic, toate integrate într-o singură lucrare. Geografia geniului este o carte inteligentă, originală şi absolut încântătoare!” Daniel Gilbert, profesor la Universitatea Harvard şi autorul bestsellerului În căutarea fericirii „De ce anumite locuri produc o erupţie spontană de creativitate? Ce a contribuit la dezvoltarea Atenei, Florenţei sau a lui Silicon Valley? Această carte inteligentă şi instructivă aduce o nouă perspectivă prin fiecare paragraf al ei. Este un amestec fermecător de istorie şi de înţelepciune, sub mantia unei cărţi de călătorie amuzante, pline de personaje colorate.” Walter Isaacson, autorul bestsellerului Steve Jobs. Biografia autorizată „O lucrare care încearcă să descopere de ce geniile se adună în anumite spaţii şi epoci şi de ce asemenea locuri efervescente ard până la capăt, după o jumătate de secol de realizări grandioase. Eric Wiener este un ghid extraordinar: amuzant, informat, autoironic şi dispus întotdeauna să împartă cu cineva o sticlă de vin.” Washington Post „Foarte rar avem şansa de a citi o carte care să ne facă să râdem şi să învăţăm în acelaşi timp, dar Eric Weiner a reuşit şi de această dată. Acest explorator inteligent şi înţelept ne oferă o perspectivă fascinantă asupra modului în care cultura a inspirat creativitatea de-a lungul secolelor, precum şi o hartă practică ce ne arată cum putem deveni mai inventivi.” Adam Grant, profesor la Wharton School şi autor al bestsellerurilor A da şi a lua şi Originalii

Eric Weiner mostra onde está a felicidade, por que alguns lugares parecem mais felizes que outros e como uma troca de endereço pode mudar o humor. Weiner testemunhou catástrofes em mais de trinta países. Em ''A geografia da felicidade'', decidiu contar o outro lado da história. Para isso, visitou alguns dos lugares com maior índice de satisfação do mundo, como o Butão, onde o rei prioriza a Felicidade Nacional Bruta, e a Islândia, que apesar de gélida, está entre os países mais felizes do mundo.
