Development of the US Plans for Post-War Japan during World War II by A. A. Sidorov

“…In that regard, the author pays particular attention to the staff shortage, which forced the Department of State to strengthen partnership with private research organizations and involve them in long-term planning.The author emphasizes that if before the United States entered the war the US planners adopted a rather tough stance on Japan, after the attack on Pearl Harbor their approaches paradoxically changed. The second section examines the contradictions and tensions between those politicians and experts who believed that in the establishment of the post-war order in the Far East the US should cooperate with China, and those who promoted rapprochement with Japan. …”

Pressure-dependent magnetism of the Kitaev candidate Li2RhO3 by Bin Shen, Efrain Insuasti Pazmino, Ramesh Dhakal, Friedrich Freund, Philipp Gegenwart, Stephen M. Winter, Alexander A. Tsirlin

“…Abstract We use magnetization measurements under pressure along with ab initio and cluster many-body calculations to investigate magnetism of the Kitaev candidate Li2RhO3. Hydrostatic compression leads to a decrease in the magnitude of the nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic Kitaev coupling K 1 and the corresponding increase in the off-diagonal anisotropy Γ1, whereas the experimental Curie-Weiss temperature changes from negative to positive with the slope of +40 K/GPa. …”
