Effect of Local Anisotropy Fluctuation on the Permeability of Multilayered Co-Zr-Mo-Ni Amorphous Films
To evaluate the magnetic inhomogeneities normally represented as magnetic skew and ripple, a systematic experimental investigation was carried out using the dynamic differential susceptibility measurement proposed by H. Hoffmann for multilayered CO79Zr10Mo9Ni2 amorphous films. The influence of the local magnetic anisotropy on the effective permeability μeff of the films is broadly discussed in connection with the magnetic skew and ripple. The magnitude of the μeff in low frequency regions less than 1 MHz is strongly dependent on the degree of the long period fluctuation of the local magnetization direction (skew) and the magnitude of the anisotropy field. To realize excellent soft magnetic properties in films at high frequencies (10 MHz), it is suggested that the alleviation of magnetic inhomogeneities due to the short-period fluctuation of the local magnetization direction is important.
The Effective Field and the Differential Susceptibility in Ferromagnetic Films
A theory of the differential susceptibility is given for two-dimensional ferromagnetic samples. The susceptibility depends on the intrinsic demagnetizing field which is caused by the magnetization inhomogeneities. The susceptibility is related to the mean “effective field” as well as to the magnetization fluctuation. Its measurement can be used to determine quantitatively these properties which are related to the structure constant, S. The latter results from the inhomogeneity of the anisotropy. 
 
 
 
Es wird eine Theorie der differentiellen Suszeptibilitat in zweidimensionalen ferromagnetischen Proben hergeleitet, um damit die Anwendungsmoglichkeiten quantitativer mikromagnetischer Berechnungen aufzuzeigen. Die Suszeptibilitat in schwachen auseren Feldern wird wesentlich mitbestimmt durch das von Probeninhomogenitaten verursachte innere entmagnetisierende Feld. Die Suszeptibilitat ist mit dem „Effektivfeld” und den Schwankungen der Magnetisierungsrichtungen eng verknupft und kann zur Ermittlung beider Grosen herangezogen werden. Beide werden durch die Strukturkonstante S bestimmt, in welcher die inhomogenen Energieanteile der Probe zum Ausdruck kommen.
Optimal Combination and Concentration of Antibiotics in Media for Isolation of Pathogenic Fungi and Nocardia asteroides
Strains of Blastomyces dermatitidis, Sporothrix schenckii, Histoplasma capsulatum, Cryptococcus neoformans, Nocardia asteroides, and Coccidioides immitis were tested for in vitro susceptibility to polymyxin, gentamicin, kanamycin, chloramphenicol, and neomycin at concentrations of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 μg/ml. Polymyxin was the most inhibitory and gentamicin was the least inhibitory of the five antibiotics. Two Histoplasma mycelial strains were partially inhibited by 2 and 8 μg of gentamicin per ml and showed at least a 2+ growth at the higher antibiotic concentration. Kanamycin and neomycin produced significant inhibition of N. asteroides but otherwise were noninhibitory. A combination of chloramphenicol and kanamycin, each at 16 μg/ml, and gentamicin, at 4 μg/ml, was noninhibitory to the strains tested except for N. asteroides. Chloramphenicol at 16 μg/ml was not inhibitory for N. asteroides. The results suggest that the optimal antibiotic combination to use in the isolation of fungi and higher bacteria is chloramphenicol, 16 μg/ml, and gentamicin, 4 μg/ml. Addition of sheep blood (5%) had no effect on antibiotic susceptibility of the organisms studied.
