In this Comment we report a phenomenon identical to that observed in ({Y. Sun, M. B. Salamon, K. Garnier and R. S. Averback, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 167206 (2003)}) for systems of NiFe{$_2$}O{$_4$} particles (mean size $approx$ 3nm) embedded in a SiO{$_2$} matrix with two different interparticle spacings 4 nm (1) and 15 nm (2), which controls the strength of the dipolar interactions. Not only do we find the memory effect to be present in the non-interacting sample (2), indeed we find it to be {em more} prominent than in the interacting case (1). We demonstrate that this effect can be simply attributed to a superposition of relaxation times of two sets of particles.

We have performed a series of measurements on the low temperature behavior of a magnetic nano-particle system. Our results show striking memory effects in the dc magnetization. Dipolar interactions among the nano-particles {em suppress} the memory effect. We explain this phenomenon by the superposition of different super paramagnetic relaxation times of single domain magnetic nano- particles. Moreover, we observe a crossover in the temperature dependence of coercivity. We show that a dilute dispersion of particles with a flat size distribution yields the best memory.
Recently, Arcon et al. reported ESR studies of the polymer phase (PP) of Na_{2}Rb_{0.3}Cs_{0.7}C_{60} fulleride. It was claimed that this phase is a quasi-one-dimensional metal above 45 K with a spin-gap below this temperature and has antiferromagnetic(AF) order below 15 K, that is evidenced by antiferromagnetic resonance(AFMR). For the understanding of the rich physics of fullerides it is important to identify the different ground states. ESR has proven to be a useful technique for this purpose. However, since it is a very sensitive probe, it can detect a multitude of spin species and it is not straightforward to identify their origin, especially in a system like Na_{2}Rb_{x}Cs_{1-x}C_{60} with three dopants, when one part of the sample polymerizes but the majority does not. The observation of a low dimensional instability in the single bonded PP would be a novel and important result. Nevertheless, in this Comment we argue that Na_{2}Rb_{0.3}Cs_{0.7}C_{60} is not a good choice for this purpose since, as we show, the samples used by Arcon et al. are inhomogeneous. We point out that recent results on the PP of Na_{2}CsC_{60} contradicts the observation of low dimensional instabilities in Na_{2}Rb_{0.3}Cs_{0.7}C_{60}.
The CLAS Collaboration provides a comment on the physics interpretation of the results presented in a paper published by M. Amaryan et al. regarding the possible observation of a narrow structure in the mass spectrum of a photoproduction experiment.
Very recently Leitner et al. [Thermochimica Acta 572 (2013) 1-5] have tried to extract the thermodynamic data of rock-salt ZnO from ab initio and experimental data available in the literature. In this Comment we show that neglecting (i) the strongly pronounced kinetic features of the pressure-induced phase transition in ZnO at room temperature and (ii) results of calorimetric measurements available in the literature [Russ. Chem. Bull. 59 (2010) 325-328] makes the proposed set of thermodynamic functions completely incorrect.
133 - L. Deych 2003
In recent paper Cao et al. [Phys. Rev. B {bf 67}, 161101 (R) (2003)] reported an observation of what is the first genuine multi-mode behavior in random lasers. They observed a splitting of a single lasing line into two lines with close frequencies when pumping is increased beyond a certain threshold. Here we are pointing out that the qualitative interpretation of these experiments given in that paper is misleading.
