  1. Abstract Single crystals of disordered Mn4–xCrxAl11have been synthesized via the flux method. EDS on several crystals of various sizes and shapes revealed an average molar ratio of 17:9:74 for Mn:Cr:Al, while X-ray diffraction on three different crystals yield compositions Mn2.26Cr1.74Al11(Mn4–xCrxAl11,x= 1.74), Mn0.83Cr3.17Al11, and Mn1.07Cr2.93Al11. This compound crystallizes in space groupP–1, isostructural with both Mn4Al11and Cr4Al11. Magnetic measurements on several crystals show that this disordered compound is ferrimagnetic with a low effective moment ofμeff≈1.012±0.004 μB/f.u. and a non-reachable transition temperature. DFT calculations display opening of a bandgap in the spin-up channel near the Fermi level with increasing Cr content, an indication of half-metallicity.

  2. This is one of 11 datasets generated in a study of riparian vegetation in the Baltimore Ecosystem Study from 1999-2004. Comparisons of vegetation between the rural/suburban (upper) and urban (lower) sections of the watershed show distinct patterns across an urban to rural gradient. In the lower, more urban section of the watershed, wetland tree species are either absent or occur as small stems while upland species are abundant, in mixed sizes. A comparison of the number of wetland and upland species in the mostly urbanized Gwynns Falls riparian zone with non-urbanized Piedmont floodplains throughout Maryland shows approximately twice as many upland species in the urban floodplain than in non-urbanized floodplains. The majority of shrubs in riparian zones through the Gwynns Falls are upland species. For herbaceous species, frequencies of upland and wetland species are about equal in the upper and middle regions of the watershed, but upland species are more common in the more urban lower floodplains by a factor of greater than two.
