Evidence of striped electronic phases in a structurally modulated superlattice.

The electronic properties of crystals can be manipulated by superimposing spatially periodic electric, magnetic or structural modulations. Long-wavelength modulations incommensurate with the atomic lattice are particularly interesting1, exemplified by recent advances in two-dimensional (2D) moiré materials2,3. Bulk van der Waals (vdW) superlattices4-8 hosting 2D interfaces between minimally disordered layers represent scalable bulk analogues of artificial vdW heterostructures and present a complementary venue to explore incommensurately modulated 2D states. Here we report the bulk vdW superlattice SrTa2S5 realizing an incommensurate one-dimensional (1D) structural modulation of 2D transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) H-TaS2 layers. High-quality electronic transport in the H-TaS2 layers, evidenced by quantum oscillations, is made anisotropic by the modulation and exhibits commensurability oscillations paralleling lithographically modulated 2D systems9-11. We also find unconventional, clean-limit superconductivity in SrTa2S5 with a pronounced suppression of interlayer relative to intralayer coherence. The in-plane magnetic field dependence of interlayer critical current, together with electron diffraction from the structural modulation, suggests superconductivity12-14 in SrTa2S5 is spatially modulated and mismatched between adjacent TMD layers. With phenomenology suggestive of pair-density wave superconductivity15-17, SrTa2S5 may present a pathway for microscopic evaluation of this unconventional order18-21. More broadly, SrTa2S5 establishes bulk vdW superlattices as versatile platforms to address long-standing predictions surrounding modulated electronic phases in the form of nanoscale vdW devices12,13 to macroscopic crystals22,23.

Signatures of bosonic Landau levels in a finite-momentum superconductor.

Charged particles subjected to magnetic fields form Landau levels (LLs). Originally studied in the context of electrons in metals1, fermionic LLs continue to attract interest as hosts of exotic electronic phenomena2,3. Bosonic LLs are also expected to realize novel quantum phenomena4,5, but, apart from recent advances in synthetic systems6,7, they remain relatively unexplored. Cooper pairs in superconductors-composite bosons formed by electrons-represent a potential condensed-matter platform for bosonic LLs. Under certain conditions, an applied magnetic field is expected to stabilize an unusual superconductor with finite-momentum Cooper pairs8,9 and exert control over bosonic LLs10-13. Here we report thermodynamic signatures, observed by torque magnetometry, of bosonic LL transitions in the layered superconductor Ba6Nb11S28. By applying an in-plane magnetic field, we observe an abrupt, partial suppression of diamagnetism below the upper critical magnetic field, which is suggestive of an emergent phase within the superconducting state. With increasing out-of-plane magnetic field, we observe a series of sharp modulations in the upper critical magnetic field that are indicative of distinct vortex states and with a structure that agrees with predictions for Cooper pair LL transitions in a finite-momentum superconductor10-14. By applying Onsager's quantization rule15, we extract the momentum. Furthermore, study of the fermionic LLs shows evidence for a non-zero Berry phase. This suggests opportunities to study bosonic LLs, topological superconductivity, and their interplay via transport16, scattering17, scanning probe18 and exfoliation techniques19.

Enhanced triplet superconductivity in next-generation ultraclean UTe2.

The unconventional superconductor UTe[Formula: see text] exhibits numerous signatures of spin-triplet superconductivity-a rare state of matter which could enable quantum computation protected against decoherence. UTe[Formula: see text] possesses a complex phase landscape comprising two magnetic field-induced superconducting phases, a metamagnetic transition to a field-polarized state, along with pair- and charge-density wave orders. However, contradictory reports between studies performed on UTe[Formula: see text] specimens of varying quality have severely impeded theoretical efforts to understand the microscopic origins of the exotic superconductivity. Here, we report a comprehensive suite of high magnetic field measurements on a generation of pristine quality UTe[Formula: see text] crystals. Our experiments reveal a significantly revised high magnetic field superconducting phase diagram in the ultraclean limit, showing a pronounced sensitivity of field-induced superconductivity to the presence of crystalline disorder. We employ a Ginzburg-Landau model that excellently captures this acute dependence on sample quality. Our results suggest that in close proximity to a field-induced metamagnetic transition the enhanced role of magnetic fluctuations-that are strongly suppressed by disorder-is likely responsible for tuning UTe[Formula: see text] between two distinct spin-triplet superconducting phases.

Superconductivity at 250 K in lanthanum hydride under high pressures.

With the discovery1 of superconductivity at 203 kelvin in H3S, attention returned to conventional superconductors with properties that can be described by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer and the Migdal-Eliashberg theories. Although these theories predict the possibility of room-temperature superconductivity in metals that have certain favourable properties-such as lattice vibrations at high frequencies-they are not sufficient to guide the design or predict the properties of new superconducting materials. First-principles calculations based on density functional theory have enabled such predictions, and have suggested a new family of superconducting hydrides that possess a clathrate-like structure in which the host atom (calcium, yttrium, lanthanum) is at the centre of a cage formed by hydrogen atoms2-4. For LaH10 and YH10, the onset of superconductivity is predicted to occur at critical temperatures between 240 and 320 kelvin at megabar pressures3-6. Here we report superconductivity with a critical temperature of around 250 kelvin within the [Formula: see text] structure of LaH10 at a pressure of about 170 gigapascals. This is, to our knowledge, the highest critical temperature that has been confirmed so far in a superconducting material. Superconductivity was evidenced by the observation of zero resistance, an isotope effect, and a decrease in critical temperature under an external magnetic field, which suggested an upper critical magnetic field of about 136 tesla at zero temperature. The increase of around 50 kelvin compared with the previous highest critical temperature1 is an encouraging step towards the goal of achieving room-temperature superconductivity in the near future.

Quantum Interference between Quasi-2D Fermi Surface Sheets in UTe_{2}.

UTe_{2} is a spin-triplet superconductor candidate for which high quality samples with long mean free paths have recently become available, enabling quantum oscillation measurements to probe its Fermi surface and effective carrier masses. It has recently been reported that UTe_{2} possesses a 3D Fermi surface component [Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 036501 (2023)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.131.036501]. The distinction between 2D and 3D Fermi surface sections in triplet superconductors can have important implications regarding the topological properties of the superconductivity. Here we report the observation of oscillatory components in the magnetoconductance of UTe_{2} at high magnetic fields. We find that these oscillations are well described by quantum interference between quasiparticles traversing semiclassical trajectories spanning magnetic breakdown networks. Our observations are consistent with a quasi-2D model of this material's Fermi surface based on prior dHvA-effect measurements. Our results strongly indicate that UTe_{2}-which exhibits a multitude of complex physical phenomena-possesses a remarkably simple Fermi surface consisting exclusively of two quasi-2D cylindrical sections.

Targeting spectroscopic accuracy for dispersion bound systems from ab initio techniques: Translational eigenstates of Ne@C70.

We investigate the endofullerene system Ne@C70 by constructing a three-dimensional Potential Energy Surface (PES) describing the translational motion of the Ne atom. This is constructed from electronic structure calculations from a plethora of methods, including MP2, SCS-MP2, SOS-MP2, RPA@PBE, and C(HF)-RPA, which were previously used for He@C60 in Panchagnula et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 160, 104303 (2024)], alongside B86bPBE-25X-XDM and B86bPBE-50X-XDM. The reduction in symmetry moving from C60 to C70 introduces a double well potential along the anisotropic direction, which forms a test of the sensitivity and effectiveness of the electronic structure methods. The nuclear Hamiltonian is diagonalized using a symmetrized double minimum basis set outlined in Panchagnula and Thom [J. Chem. Phys. 159, 164308 (2023)], with translational energies having error bars ±1 and ±2 cm-1. We find no consistency between electronic structure methods as they find a range of barrier heights and minima positions of the double well and different translational eigenspectra, which also differ from the Lennard-Jones (LJ) PES given in Mandziuk and Bacic [J. Chem. Phys. 101, 2126-2140 (1994)]. We find that generating effective LJ parameters for each electronic structure method cannot reproduce the full PES nor recreate the eigenstates, and this suggests that the LJ form of the PES, while simple, may not be best suited to describe these systems. Even though MP2 and RPA@PBE performed best for He@C60, due to the lack of concordance between all electronic structure methods, we require more experimental data in order to properly validate the choice.

Translational eigenstates of He@C60 from four-dimensional ab initio potential energy surfaces interpolated using Gaussian process regression.

We investigate the endofullerene system 3He@C60 with a four-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) to include the three He translational degrees of freedom and C60 cage radius. We compare second order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2), spin component scaled-MP2, scaled opposite spin-MP2, random phase approximation (RPA)@Perdew, Burke, and Ernzerhof (PBE), and corrected Hartree-Fock-RPA to calibrate and gain confidence in the choice of electronic structure method. Due to the high cost of these calculations, the PES is interpolated using Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), owing to its effectiveness with sparse training data. The PES is split into a two-dimensional radial surface, to which corrections are applied to achieve an overall four-dimensional surface. The nuclear Hamiltonian is diagonalized to generate the in-cage translational/vibrational eigenstates. The degeneracy of the three-dimensional harmonic oscillator energies with principal quantum number n is lifted due to the anharmonicity in the radial potential. The (2l + 1)-fold degeneracy of the angular momentum states is also weakly lifted, due to the angular dependence in the potential. We calculate the fundamental frequency to range between 96 and 110 cm-1 depending on the electronic structure method used. Error bars of the eigenstate energies were calculated from the GPR and are on the order of ∼±1.5 cm-1. Wavefunctions are also compared by considering their overlap and Hellinger distance to the one-dimensional empirical potential. As with the energies, the two ab initio methods MP2 and RPA@PBE show the best agreement. While MP2 has better agreement than RPA@PBE, due to its higher computational efficiency and comparable performance, we recommend RPA as an alternative electronic structure method of choice to MP2 for these systems.

Scaled opposite-spin atomic-orbital based algebraic diagrammatic construction scheme for the polarization propagator with asymptotic linear-scaling effort: Theory and implementation.

A novel local approach for the quantum-chemical computation of excited states is presented, where the concept of the atomic-orbital formulation of the second-order Møller-Plesset energy expression is extended to the second-order algebraic diagrammatic construction scheme by virtue of the Laplace transform. The scaled opposite-spin second-order algebraic diagrammatic construction method with Cholesky decomposed densities and density-fitting, or CDD-DF-SOS-ADC(2) for short, exploits the sparsity of the two-electron repulsion integrals, the atomic ground-state density matrix, and the atomic transition density matrix to drastically reduce the computational effort. By using a local density-fitting approximation, it is shown that asymptotically linear scaling can be achieved for linear carboxylic acids. For electron-dense systems, sub-cubic scaling can be achieved if the excitation is local, and hence the transition density is sparse. Furthermore, the memory footprint and accuracy of the CDD-DF-SOS-ADC(2) method are explored in detail.

ACCUMULATION OF HEAVY METALS IN THE COLON AND BLOOD OF PATIENTS WITH COLORECTAL CANCER.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To determine the accumulation of heavy metals, namely Cr, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn by a tumour in correlation with unaffected colon tissue and blood of patients with colorectal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The study is based on the results of observation of 180 patients with CRC. The following samples were taken from: the tumor, the colon and blood unaffected by the tumor - during the operative treatment of patients in the surgical department of the communal non-profit enterprise "Precarpathian Clinical Oncology Center of the Ivano-Frankivsk regional council" for 2018-2020. RESULTS: Results: According to the obtained results, the blood of patients with CRC contains much less heavy metals: Pb - 8.6 and 9.3 times less than in the tumour and unaffected by cancer colon, respectively; Cr - 9 and 14.8 times less; Cd - 3.75 and 5 times less; Cu - 1.48 and 1.18 times less than in the tumour and unaffected colon, respectively. Besides, the content of Zn in the blood is 1.04 times higher than in non-cancerous tissue of the colon. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: It can be stated that the highest content of Pb, Cr and Cd was recorded in non-cancerous tissue of the colon of patients with CRC; the highest content of Zn and Cu was revealed tumour tissue.

Correlated States of 2D Electrons near the Landau Level Filling ν=1/7.

The ground state of two-dimensional electron systems (2DESs) at low Landau level filling factors (ν≲1/6) has long been a topic of interest and controversy in condensed matter. Following the recent breakthrough in the quality of ultrahigh-mobility GaAs 2DESs, we revisit this problem experimentally and investigate the impact of reduced disorder. In a GaAs 2DES sample with density n=6.1×10^{10}/cm^{2} and mobility µ=25×10^{6} cm^{2}/V s, we find a deep minimum in the longitudinal magnetoresistance (R_{xx}) at ν=1/7 when T≃104 mK. There is also a clear sign of a developing minimum in R_{xx} at ν=2/13. While insulating phases are still predominant when ν≲1/6, these minima strongly suggest the existence of fractional quantum Hall states at filling factors that comply with the Jain sequence ν=p/(2mp±1) even in the very low Landau level filling limit. The magnetic-field-dependent activation energies deduced from the relation R_{xx}∝e^{E_{A}/2kT} corroborate this view and imply the presence of pinned Wigner solid states when ν≠p/(2mp±1). Similar results are seen in another sample with a lower density, further generalizing our observations.

An effective sub-quadratic scaling atomic-orbital reformulation of the scaled opposite-spin RI-CC2 ground-state model using Cholesky-decomposed densities and an attenuated Coulomb metric.

An atomic-orbital reformulation of the Laplace-transformed scaled opposite-spin (SOS) coupled cluster singles and doubles (CC2) model within the resolution of the identity (RI) approximation (SOS-RI-CC2) is presented that extends its applicability to molecules with several hundreds of atoms and triple-zeta basis sets. We exploit sparse linear algebra and an attenuated Coulomb metric to decrease the disk space demands and the computational efforts. In this way, an effective sub-quadratic computational scaling is achieved with our ω-SOS-CDD-RI-CC2 model. Moreover, Cholesky decomposition of the ground-state one-electron density matrix reduces the prefactor, allowing for an early crossover with the molecular orbital formulation. The accuracy and performance of the presented method are investigated for various molecular systems.

Validation of maternal recall on exclusive breastfeeding 12 months after childbirth.

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess the validity of maternal recall of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) at 3 months obtained 12 months after childbirth. DESIGN: A population-based birth cohort study. The gold standard is maternal report of EBF at the age of 3 months (yes or no) and age of introduction of other foods in the infant's diet. EBF was considered when the mother reported that no liquid, semi-solid or solid food was introduced up to that moment. The variable to be validated was obtained at 12 months after childbirth when the mother was asked about the age of food introduction. The prevalence of EBF at 3 months, and sensitivity, specificity, positive (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV), and accuracy of 12-month recall with 95 % CI were calculated. SETTING: Pelotas, Brazil. PARTICIPANTS: 3700 mothers of participants of the Pelotas 2004 Birth Cohort. RESULTS: The prevalence of EBF at 3 months was 27·8 % (95 % CI 26·4, 29·3) and 49·0 % (95 % CI 47·4, 50·6) according to gold standard and maternal recall, respectively. The sensitivity of maternal recall at 12 months was 98·3 % (95 % CI 97·4, 99·0), specificity 70·0 % (95 % CI 68·2, 71·7), PPV 55·8 % (95 % CI 53·4, 58·1), NPV 99·1 % (95 % CI 98·6, 99·5) and accuracy 77·9 % (95 % CI 76·6, 79·2). When the analyses were stratified by maternal and infant characteristics, the sensitivity remained around 98 %, and the specificity ranged from 64·4 to 81·8 %. CONCLUSIONS: EBF recalled at the end of the first year of infant's life is a valid measure to be used in epidemiological investigations.

A magnetic topological semimetal Sr1-yMn1-zSb2 (y, z < 0.1).

Weyl (WSMs) evolve from Dirac semimetals in the presence of broken time-reversal symmetry (TRS) or space-inversion symmetry. The WSM phases in TaAs-class materials and photonic crystals are due to the loss of space-inversion symmetry. For TRS-breaking WSMs, despite numerous theoretical and experimental efforts, few examples have been reported. In this Article, we report a new type of magnetic semimetal Sr1-yMn1-zSb2 (y, z < 0.1) with nearly massless relativistic fermion behaviour (m∗ =  0.04 - 0.05m0, where m0 is the free-electron mass). This material exhibits a ferromagnetic order for 304 K  <  T  <  565 K, but a canted antiferromagnetic order with a ferromagnetic component for T  <  304 K. The combination of relativistic fermion behaviour and ferromagnetism in Sr1-yMn1-zSb2 offers a rare opportunity to investigate the interplay between relativistic fermions and spontaneous TRS breaking.

Bulk Fermi Surfaces of the Dirac Type-II Semimetallic Candidates MAl_{3} (Where M=V, Nb, and Ta).

We report a de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect study on the Dirac type-II semimetallic candidates MAl_{3} (where, M=V, Nb and Ta). The angular dependence of their Fermi surface (FS) cross-sectional areas reveals a remarkably good agreement with our first-principles calculations. Therefore, dHvA supports the existence of tilted Dirac cones with Dirac type-II nodes located at 100, 230 and 250 meV above the Fermi level ϵ_{F} for VAl_{3}, NbAl_{3} and TaAl_{3} respectively, in agreement with the prediction of broken Lorentz invariance in these compounds. However, for all three compounds we find that the cyclotron orbits on their FSs, including an orbit nearly enclosing the Dirac type-II node, yield trivial Berry phases. We explain this via an analysis of the Berry phase where the position of this orbit, relative to the Dirac node, is adjusted within the error implied by the small disagreement between our calculations and the experiments. We suggest that a very small amount of doping could displace ϵ_{F} to produce topologically nontrivial orbits encircling their Dirac node(s).

Giant Pressure Dependence and Dimensionality Switching in a Metal-Organic Quantum Antiferromagnet.

We report an extraordinary pressure dependence of the magnetic interactions in the metal-organic system [CuF_{2}(H_{2}O)_{2}]_{2}pyrazine. At zero pressure, this material realizes a quasi-two-dimensional spin-1/2 square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet. By high-pressure, high-field susceptibility measurements we show that the dominant exchange parameter is reduced continuously by a factor of 2 on compression. Above 18 kbar, a phase transition occurs, inducing an orbital re-ordering that switches the dimensionality, transforming the quasi-two-dimensional lattice into weakly coupled chains. We explain the microscopic mechanisms for both phenomena by combining detailed x-ray and neutron diffraction studies with quantitative modeling using spin-polarized density functional theory.

Association between sleep apnea and low bone mass in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

We performed a systematic review of the literature to assess the association between sleep apnea and bone metabolism diseases including osteoporosis in adult population. Results from clinical trials suggest that the association between sleep apnea and low bone mass in adults is possible. INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to synthesize existing evidence on the potential association between sleep apnea and low bone mass in adults. METHODS: Electronic searches of five databases were performed. The inclusion criteria consisted of studies in humans that assessed potential associations between sleep apnea and bone metabolic diseases in an adult population. For diagnosis of sleep apnea overnight polysomnography, home polygraphy, or validated records from healthcare databases were considered. Reduced bone density, osteoporosis, serum/urinary levels for markers of bone formation and resorption, or risk of fractures caused without history of trauma were considered indicators of low bone mass. A random-effects model meta-analysis was applied when possible. RESULTS: Of the 963 relevant references, 12 studies met our inclusion criteria and were assessed to be of medium to low bias. Nine out of 12 studies reported an association between sleep apnea and low bone mass (increased bone resorption markers, reduced bone density, and higher risk of osteoporosis). Two studies did not report a significant association, whereas one study reported an increase of bone density in sleep apnea patients compared to non-sleep apnea patients. Meta-analysis of 2 studies (n = 112,258 patients) showed that sleep apnea was a significant risk factor for osteoporosis (odds ratio (OR), 1.92; 95%CI, 1.24 to 2.97; I2 = 66%); females only had an OR of 2.56 (95% CI, 1.96 to 3.34; I2 = 0%) while the OR in males was 2.03 (95% CI, 1.24 to 3.35; I2 = 38%). CONCLUSIONS: An association between sleep apnea and low bone mass in adults is plausible, but supporting evidence has a risk of bias and is inconsistent.

Fluorinated Cerium(IV) Enaminolates: Alternative Precursors for Chemical Vapor Deposition of CeO2 Thin Films.

High-yield synthesis of four new fluorinated enaminones LH2 (RfC(O)C2H2NH)2C2H4 (Rf = CF3 (2a), C2F5 (2b), C3F7 (2c)) and (F3CC(O)C2H2NH)2C3H6 (2a') as dianionic ligands is described. The ligands were characterized in solution (via nuclear magnetic resoannce (NMR)) as well as in the solid state (via X-ray diffraction (XRD)). The ligating ability of the enaminones was verified by reacting them with [Ce2(O(i)Pr)8(HO(i)Pr)2], which resulted in monomeric cerium(IV) complexes [CeL2] (3a-c, 3a') based on tetradentate chelation of the ligands. Cerium enaminolates were comprehensively analyzed by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and single-crystal XRD studies to verify their monomeric nature. High stability under ambient conditions and high volatility makes them a potential precursor for the gas-phase synthesis of CeO2. Complexes 3a and 3b were applied as precursors in thermal and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition to obtain crystalline ceria films with different surface morphologies. The purity and surface states of the films were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which revealed a high amount of Ce(3+) on the subsurface of CeO2 films.

Phase II study of bendamustine combined with rituximab in relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma: efficacy, tolerability, and safety findings.

In most cases of relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), patients respond to salvage therapy, though typically responses are partial and/or transient followed by disease progression, even with newer agents (e.g., ibrutinib). In this multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase II study, patients with relapsed/refractory non-blastoid MCL received bendamustine 90 mg/m(2) (days 1 and 2) and rituximab 375 mg/m(2) (day 1) for 6 planned 28-day cycles. Functional imaging with 18-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) was conducted at baseline and after cycle 6. Forty-five patients were enrolled (median age, 70 years; 82 % stage IV disease; median number of prior chemotherapies, 2 [range, 1-4]), showing an overall response rate (ORR; primary efficacy measure) of 82 % (complete response [CR], 40 %; partial response, 42 %). In the 32 patients with complete 18F-FDG PET/CT data, 75 % achieved a complete metabolic response. Median duration of response was 1.6 years, 1-year progression-free survival was 67 %, and 3-year overall survival was 55 %. Main non-hematologic adverse events were nausea (69 %), fatigue (56 %), decreased appetite (42 %), constipation (38 %), diarrhea (36 %), vomiting (36 %), and decreased weight (31 %). Grade 3/4 neutropenia and lymphopenia occurred in 44 and 89 % of patients, respectively. ORR and CR rate compared favorably with single-agent ibrutinib (ORR, 67 %; CR, 23 %); bendamustine-rituximab is an effective therapy with manageable toxicity in relapsed/refractory MCL.

[Magnets, pacemaker and defibrillator: fatal attraction?]. / Aimant, stimulateur cardiaque et défibrillateur: attraction fatale?

This article aims at clarifying the effects of a clinical magnet on pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators. The effects of electromagnetic interferences on such devices, including interferences linked to electrosurgery and magnetic resonance imaging are also discussed. In general, a magnet provokes a distinctive effect on a pacemaker by converting it into an asynchronous mode of pacing, and on an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator by suspending its own antitachyarythmia therapies without affecting the pacing. In the operating room, the magnet has to be used cautiously with precisely defined protocols which respect the type of the device used, the type of intervention planned, the presence or absence of EMI and the pacing-dependency of the patient.

Anomalous magnetic ground state in an LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface probed by transport through nanowires.

Resistance as a function of temperature down to 20 mK and magnetic fields up to 18 T for various carrier concentrations is measured for nanowires made from the SrTiO3/LaAlO3 interface using a hard mask shadow deposition technique. The narrow width of the wires (of the order of 50 nm) allows us to separate out the magnetic effects from the dominant superconducting ones at low magnetic fields. At this regime hysteresis loops are observed along with the superconducting transition. From our data analysis, we find that the magnetic order probed by the giant magnetoresistance effect vanishes at TCurie=954±20 mK. This order is not a simple ferromagnetic state but consists of domains with opposite magnetization having a preferred in-plane orientation.
