Attempted to cold email one of the alumni (VP at the firm), used the email format on WSO and turned out emailing the wrong person with the same last name and same first name initial (a senior MD). first time, that guy didn't reply, then I followed up with him and he forwarded my resume to the campus recruiter and the recruiter implicitly told me I emailed the wrong person. Am I screwed?
Mod note (Andy): while we're on the topic, what's the worst email disaster you've had (or heard about)?

Did that on Monday at work, the MD told me to refer to her position and to who I was sending my emails. Needless to say the person had a middle initial and I didn't bother with checking.

Not a disaster. More like a breakthrough. Good job not giving up and following up with him until fruition.
Too late for second-guessing Too late to go back to sleep.
I also think it's fine - really is something that happens a lot within firms haha. Who knows whether HR or your intended contact will ultimately be able to help you (I assume you sent a new email to the right address), but I wouldn't call this a disaster.
Haha, oh man. That is a good idea for a thread. I've seen so many hilarious e-mail 'disasters'. Very rarely is something potentially career damaging since it happens often enough that people understand, but some are definitely cringe worthy.

Guy at my bank had someone in a non-IBD dept with his same name sans middle initial who would always get his emails. The guy said his counterpart would always forward on the emails, but would critique them along the way and give his 2 cents on the would-be candidate.
That said, you're probably fine.
That is not a big deal you got what you ultimately wanted, referred to the campus recruiter so no harm done. When I was networking through email a few months back I was referred to the head of recruiting and emailed her with a Mr. SoandSo. I later found out it was a girl, thought the first name was a guys name. I laughed to myself when I figured it out.

I really think this isn't a big deal (at all, like I'm surprised it's a thread), and could potentially be a net benefit in the sense that your name was "highlighted" in a non-embarrassing context.
When I was interning at a PWM, I kept getting loan application emails with client's personal information (name, SSN, DOB, etc.) because someone in a different state was a loan officer. We had the same last name and the email convention was [email protected], but their email address was based on their middle initial for some reason, which was the same as my first initial. I got about 15 of these over the course of my 3 months. Obviously, it would have been incredibly stupid to try to do something with the information, but still, wow, glad they're working hard to keep that info safe. I did email each person back to correct them, but the emails never stopped.

You wouldn't happen to be referring to Morgan Stanley would you?
No it was a Middle Market bank.
Happened to me but I was the recipient of the email during my SA stint. I had the same first and last name, but different middle name, than one of the VP. So a lot of times I would get his email and there was one time that the receptionist mistakenly called my line and said a client was coming to see me and to meet him at the elevator, I was like wtf lol.

Even funnier, at my current workplace, one of the analyst has the same exact name (first and last) with a SVP. A bunch of the analyst tend to screw around and they were emailing each other funny youtube videos and stories about the crazy clients and fellow employees, well it turns out they ended up sending it to the SVP by accident. The best part about this was that the SVP emailed us all a rant about a client and another about other employees. He ended the email with a "fml" at the bottom. It was hilarious since this guy is like in his 60s.

Just 500 signatures needed for super-city referendum
Relevant offers
Kapiti Observer
Opponents to any super-city final proposal would need as few as 500 signatures to spark a regionwide poll on its future.
The revelation on how easy it would be to force a referendum came yesterday as Kapiti Coast District councillors were updated on progress from a super-city working party.
Council chief executive Pat Dougherty said a poll would be sparked by 10 per cent of voters in any affected district: about 2000 for Kapiti, but only 500 for Carterton.
A super-city would cover a population of about 450,000.
Councillors at the meeting approved $35,000 for amalgamation work that includes researching the possibility of a unitary authority for Kapiti.
The council was forced to look at the option to avoid losing control of its soon-to-be metered water to a partly private service provider called a council-controlled organisation.
Mr Dougherty said the working party's single-city model covering the region would mean no need for council controlled organisations (CCOs).
However, a proposal for three councils - mooted by the Hutts and Wairarapa, would mean CCOs would likely be needed for regional services such as water and transport.
A CCO is a company that delivers a service for a council, which controls 50 per cent of its votes, or appoints 50 per cent of directors or trustees.
Kapiti has its own water supply, but Porirua and Wellington - its amalgamation partners in a three council model - are supplied by Greater Wellington.
At the meeting Grey Power spokeswoman Betty van Gaalen warned about the costs for Kapiti of becoming a unitary authority - taking on the district and regional council services.
She asked whether Kapiti people are aware of the cost implications of taking on the regional council roles.
This includes managing the use of natural resources, flood control, pollution control, transport planning and biosecurity.
''I recognise the need to protect our unique standing orders, which protect the water supply. But it is important that the community understands the extra responsibilities plus the share of debt that would accrue to a unitary council should the regional council be disestablished.''
Meanwhile Mr Dougherty said the four councils involved in the working party, Wellington, Porirua, Kapiti and Greater Wellington Regional Council, are working on a communication plan for the region on its findings.
This would likely include advertising in print and radio, a common website, and advertising on Facebook and Google.
The councils would hold public meetings and roadshows fronted by mayors, chairs and councillors, followed by a telephone survey across the region, he said.
He said the communication plan would be jointly funded by the four councils.
The working party aims to have a super-city proposal ready for submission to the Local Government Commission by the end of April.
The information would be put out next month, with each council consulting on the proposal over March and most of April.
Legislation passed in December, allows any person, group or council to propose amalgamation.
The Local Government Commission would consider applications then release a final proposal, which could be rejected if the referendum is triggered.
See www.kcdc.govt.nz for full report to councillors on working party progress for the January 31 council meeting.
Q: How many people could be needed to spark a referendum of the final super-city proposal?
A: 500. A petition by 10 per cent of enrolled voters, gathered in a 60-day time frame from any of the affected council areas, would trigger a poll. This would equate to 500 signatures from Carterton.
Opponents would need to gain at least 50 per cent support in the poll to sink the proposal. Costs would be split over the affected councils.

Our mission is to communicate the joys of Africa through our Afro Cafes and our Afro branded products.

Hopefully we can convey this spirit and enhance the lives of people who consume our product and sip coffee listening to Afro Tunes at our cafes. For South Africa, we try to show just how cool Afro culture actually is and instill a sense of confidence into people to make them realize what they already are. Lofty ideals but we'll have a go!

The apartment is spacious, clean and very well located to move around the city by public transport or on foot.
We arrived late at night but the directions to collect keys and get to the apartment was sufficient.
El apartamento es amplio, estaba limpio y está muy bien situado para moverte por la ciudad en transporte público o a pie.
Llegamos tarde por la noche pero las indicaciones para recoger las llaves y llegar al apartamento fueron suficientes.
Always happy
Immer wieder gern
Apartment as expected, but the garden was not applicable. Only weeds. Nice location. We were satisfied. Maybe you should just be aware that our contact in the apartment only speak Italian.
Lejlighed som forventet, dog var haven ikke anvendelig. Kun ukrudt. Fin beliggenhed. Vi var tilfredse. Måske skal man lige være klar over, at vores kontakt i lejligheden kun taler italiensk.
General impression was fantastic, beautiful views, lovely terrace, we have enjoyed.
A few minor comments, the evening reading in the living room there is insufficient light, a standing lamp would be nice with it for next occupants. I also missed a sharp knife without serrated voice. An apple peel with a serrated knife is not good. The lining of the blue chair on the terrace was not too strong, equipment was outdated and ripped the seam.
Algemene indruk was fantastisch, mooi uitzicht, heerlijk terras, wij hebben genoten.
Een paar kleine opmerkingen, om 's avonds in de woonkamer te lezen is er onvoldoende licht, een staande schemerlamp erbij zou prettig zijn voor volgende bewoners. Ook miste ik een scherp mes zonder karteltjes . Een appel schillen met een kartelmes gaat niet best. De bekleding van de blauwe stoel op het terras was niet al te sterk, materiaal was verouderd en scheurde van de stiknaad.
The location of the apartment was perfect. However, we have been very disappoint by the establishment. Metal furniture and a small TV did not meet the price. The temperature in the heating is switched was always 26-28 degrees. A shower instead of the bath would be beneficial.

Die Lage der Wohnung war optimal. Jedoch sind wir von der Einrichtung sehr enttäusch worden. Blechmöbel und einen Minifernseher entsprachen nicht dem Preis. Die Temperatur bei ausgeschalteter Heizung lag immer zwischen 26 und 28 Grad. Eine Dusche anstelle der Badewanne wäre von Vorteil.

Prior to making the booking the photos of the apartment looked great.
Once I had made a booking I could only then see the reviews left by others. These made me concerned as they described the apartment as worn out and in need of new furniture and decoration.
The truth turned out to be somewhere between the two, it was better than expected based on the online reviews. The apartment is a bit tired and would benefit from re-decoration but was functionally fine and the complex is very good.
I would consider going there again - but I would also look at other apartments in the same complex and elsewhere.
Super location and very nice apartment. There was nothing missing!

Nana Patekar's loss is Prakash Raj's gain!
Mumbai: There was a strong buzz that Nana Patekar was approached to play the main villain opposite 'Aazaan'-fame star Sachiin Joshi in his upcoming film Mumbai Mirror.
But sources reveal that Prakash Raj has been signed on for the pivotal role. The powerhouse performer, who happens to be the newest baddie of Bollywood with films like 'Wanted' and 'Singham', is also very excited about his role in the film. And wouldn't he be! He will play the deadly Shetty in 'Mumbai Mirror'.
But instead of a righteous cop like Bajirao Singham, Shetty will clash with the raw energy of a quirky whimsical and corrupt cop played by Sachiin Joshi.
The realistic commercial potboiler mirrors the Mumbai underbelly and revolves round the nexus between powerful corrupt dance bar lords and the Mumbai Police. Directed by Ankush Bhatt, of 'Bhindi Bazaar Inc.' fame, the movie has some scintillating music by Anand Raj Anand. It's expected to release in September 2012.

After the late late show against Burnley The Rams take on another side with ambitions at the top of the table as they visit south Wales to take on Cardiff City in a re-arranged game that was Nigel Clough`s first in charge before being postponed back in January. Derby have only won once in six matches but they have also only lost once during this run and they are showing their growing resilience in grabbing results when things are going against them. They currently sit 17th in the table, six points clear of the dropzone, and have games in hand on those teams around them in their quest to secure safety.
Nigel Clough still believes Derby need another win to feel safe and a nine point gap with five games to go for the teams below them would surely see The Rams being able to prepare for next season. Rob Hulse has been asked to play through the pain in the quest for points and Kris Commons may also face a late test before a decision is made on. Chris Porter is out so Tito Villa may be in line for a start if leading scorer Hulse is ruled out. Jay McEveley has had no adverse reaction after his return to the side although a late decision may also be needed to see if Stephen Pearson will continue in central midfield.
Cardiff City are sixth in the table, two points ahead of seventh but with a game in hand on the teams around them. A full blooded Welsh derby against Swansea ended 2-2 on Sunday after some late drama saw Joe Allen look to have given his side three points with a snap-shot two minutes from time only for an injury time Ross McCormack penalty to snatch a point for the home side. They have been the hardest side to beat in the Championship this season with only seven league defeats from thirty-nine games and only their propensity to draw games away from home has seen them fail to challenge for automatic promotion with eleven draws on their travels so far this season.
"The gaffer went three at the back in the last five minutes and told me to go right wing and try to get on the back stick."
"The ball went to Emanuel Villa, he laid it to Gary Teale and it was one of those where you know it is going to come to your head."
"I crept in round the back and it came right to me, so I was absolutely buzzing."
Paul Connolly talking to the Derby Evening Telegraph about his late equaliser against Burnley.
Gabor Gyepes returns after one game suspension, no major injury worries ahead of this encounter.
Joined Cardiff in the summer after purported Premiership interest and has been a massive hit in Wales this season. Leading scorer with 17 goals so far and has forced his way into the Scotland squad picking up his first goal against Iceland last week.
Nigel Clough has concerns on the fitness of Kris Commons and Stephen Pearson who have recently returned from injury and Rob Hulse who only returned to training the day before the Burnley game.
Good news for Clough with his return to side, gives The Rams something different going forward and links the midfield with the forward line in his position just off Rob Hulse. Looked tired in the second half against Burnley but certainly has the quality to change the game with one touch.
Last five results
Cardiff City
Norwich City (A) 0-2
Bristol City (H) 1-1 McCormack
Watford (H) 2-1 Bothroyd, McCormack
Sheffield United (H) 0-3
Swansea City (H) 2-2 Chopra, McCormack
Derby County
Bristol City (H) 2-1 Porter, Hulse
Southampton (A) 1-1 Davies
Sheffield United (A) 2-4 Hulse, Bannan
Barnsley (H) 0-0
Burnley (H) 1-1 Connolly
Both sides scored late goals at the weekend so look for possible fireworks in the last 10 minutes here (if not later!). Another solid performance will see The Rams continuing to edge to safety after a 1-1 draw.

Syracuse will win its last two games of the regular season and head to a bowl game, former Syracuse quarterback and current SNY football analyst Don McPherson said on The Juice on the Cuse podcast on Thursday.
McPherson, a former Maxwell Award winner at Syracuse, thinks the win against Louisville has given the Orange the late momentum necessary to clinch a spot in the postseason for the second time in three years.
"I think they'll carry that momentum," McPherson said. "Missouri will be tough. I think they'll pull that out and I think they can get past Temple as well."
» Related: McPherson preaches patience with Marrone
Syracuse's win on Saturday over previously undefeated and then-No. 9 Louisville was a huge factor for McPherson's reasoning. It also plays a big role as the program continues to dig itself out from the Greg Robinson era.
"That was a big game for lots of reasons," McPherson said. "It gets us to the path to bowl eligibility, but it also gets us back to respectibility back for this program."
Still, the win wasn't enough to fully secure Marrone's job, especially in a scanrio where Syracuse drops its last two games and finishes out of the bowl picture at 5-7.
» Listen to the full interview with McPherson
That being said, McPherson believed that Marrone was the right person for the job as SU transitions into the ACC in 2013.
"Overall I don't know if he's on the hot seat yet," McPherson said. "But I think you need stability going into the ACC so I think he's going to be OK."

This is a Continuation of application Ser. No. 07/945,434 filed on Sep. 14, 1992 (abandoned), which is a continuation of prior application Ser. No. 07/392,801 filed Aug. 11, 1989 (abandoned).
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to superconductive photoconductive-substance of the Ca-Sr-Bi-Cu-O group system and a method for producing the same, which oxide has a composition outside that of a regular superconductor and exhibits a photoconductivity along with an either real or potential superconductivity.
As an outcome of experiments on optical properties, especially on the photoconductivity in response to high-speed laser pulses, of those oxides whose composition falls outside the critical composition range of a regular superconductor, the inventor has succeeded in finding a superconductive oxide of the Ca.sub.(X-x)-Srx -Bi .sub.(Y-y)-Cuy -Oz group that reveals photo-conductivity which is unexpected from the standpoint of conventional common sense. The invention is based on such findings.
The invention also relates to a method for producing the above oxide. In the method, the ingredient concentrations X, x, Y, y and z in the above-mentioned general formula are controlled, for instance by selecting X=2, Y=3, y=2, and a photoconductive oxide with an either real or potential superconductivity is produced by keeping the above concentration x close to zero in the 0≦x<1 range or by cooling extremely quickly. The oxide of the invention is expected to be very useful in the industrial field of "superconductive optoelectronics".
1. Related Art Statement
There have been no publications at all on such superconductor which has inherent photoconductivity, except the inventor's disclosure in his technical papers and his patent applications; for instance, a superconductive photoconductive oxide of the Y3-x)-Bax -Cuy -Oz group (U.S. patent application Ser. No. 244,240) and a superconductive photoconductive oxide of La2 -Cuy -Oz group (U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 244,274).
Conventional superconductors are metals or alloys thereof in the main. Recently, much attention has been paid to high-temperature oxide superconductors, such as superconductors of the Y-Ba-Cu-O group, and considerable amounts of additives such as barium (Ba) and strontium (Sr) are used to raise the superconductive critical temperature (Tc). In view of the metallic properties of such a superconductive substance, studies and measurements on their optical properties at and in the proximity of visible wavelengths have been limited to the study of reflection and scattering of light therefrom as a part of the study on the overall nature of the metal.
In general, it has been believed that light is simply reflected from the surface of a superconductor and is not allowed to enter therein. Study of optical properties, except the phenomena of reflection and scattering, has been treated as a completely different field from that of superconductivity. This has been a main trend in academic institutions, domestic and abroad, and in international conferences.
The reason for the trend is in that researchers have considered that superconductivity is incompatible with such physical properties as light absorption and photoconductivity and they have assumed that light irradiation in a wave number with the excess energy over the energy gap of the BCS theory will merely destroy the stability of superconductivity. However, there is a certain clear correlation between them, as proven in the case of a Y-Ba-Cu-O group substance and the like. If any substance having both superconductive capability and photoconductive capability is produced, a number of new electronic and optoelectronic devices may be developed; for instance, a superconductive photo-transistor, a "superconductive optical computer" as a combination of the "superconductive computer" based on the Josephson devices and the "optical computer" proposed in optoelectronics both currently studied, "superconductive optical fiber" and the like
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide superconductive photoconductive-substance which reveals a superconductive photoconductivity, i.e., both a superconductivity and a photoconductivity at a temperature below its critical temperature for revealing the superconductivity.
The superconductive photoconductive-substance according to the invention has a general chemical formula of CaX-x)-Srx -Bi-.sub.(Y-y)-Cuy -Oz, X being 2 to 3, 0≦x<1, Y being 3 to 4, 0<y≦1, and z being 4 to 9, and the substance shows an either real or potential superconductivity at a temperature below 105 to 115 K, or at least below 65 to 85 K, and simultaneously shows a photoconductivity in a wavelength range of 530 to 740 nm at a temperature below 105 to 115 K, or at least below 65 to 85 K.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing the above-mentioned superconductive photoconductive-substance with a general chemical formula of Ca.sub.(X-x) -Srx -Bi-.sub.(Y-y) -Cuy -Oz, X being 2 to 3, 0≦x<1, Y being 3 to 4, 0<y≦2, and z being 4 to 9, which method comprises the steps of preparing a mixture of starting materials for the above substance, heating the mixture at 700Ḟ-850Ḟ C. for 2-10 hours, gradually cooling, shaping under pressure, reheating at 750Ḟ-880Ḟ C. for secondary sintering, cooling gradually, keeping at 600Ḟ-500Ḟ C. for 2-3 hours, and then cooling either extremely quickly at a rate of 1500Ḟ-900Ḟ C./sec or slowly at a rate of 150Ḟ-200Ḟ C./hour, whereby the substance becomes to have a photoconductivity associated with a superconductivity or to have both a superconductivity and a photoconductivity.
The reason for limiting the composition of the substance of the invention to the above-mentioned general chemical formula is in that the substance of such composition reveals a photoconductivity associated with a superconductivity, or reveals both a superconductivity and a photoconductivity, provided that it is treated by the method of the invention; namely, through the steps of heating at about 700Ḟ-850Ḟ C. for 2-10 hours so as to cause solid phase reactions among the starting materials thereof, cooling gradually, shaping under pressure, secondarily sintering at 750Ḟ-880Ḟ C. for 2-10 hours, cooling gradually, keeping at 600Ḟ-500Ḟ C. for 2-3 hours, and then cooling either extremely quickly at a rate of 1500Ḟ-900Ḟ C./sec or slowly at a rate of 150Ḟ-200Ḟ C./hour. As shown in the ensuing embodiments, the substance thus produced has such temperature dependence and exciting light wavelength dependence that it reveals potential superconductivity in a domain of insulating substance. The invention has been accomplished based on systematic studies of the above phenomena.
Most of conventionally known oxide substances, such as Ba-Pb-Bi-O, La-Cu-O, and Y-Ba-Cu-O, are normally insulators or semiconductors at the ground state, e.g., at low temperatures and in the dark. An elementary excitation can be created by giving a suitable amount of energy with the corresponding momentum. Usually, for superconductors, these excitations beyond the energy gap merely destroy the superconductive ground stage in the BCS theory. There is a possibility, however, to create a coherent state of elementary excitations above the ground state of insulating semiconductors such as bipolarons and excitons even in a thermally non-equilibrium state. This inventor found a new substance as an outcome of studies in fundamental physics and applied physics from the standpoint of the elementary excitation concept, in a sense parallel to, but rather orthogonal to the trend of studies of high-Tc (critical temperature) superconductors. Namely, the inventor's finding relates to substance whose composition does not result in a perfect superconductor, but the substance has a composition close to that of superconductor and reveals both a superconductivity and a photoconductivity. The present invention has been completed based on that finding.
The reason for selecting the general chemical formula of Ca.sub.(X-x) -Srx -Bi.sub.(Y-y) -Cuy -Oz, X being 2 to 3, 0≦x<1, Y being 3 to 4, 0<y≦2, and Z being 4 to 9, as a limitation of the composition of the substance of the invention, is in that x=1 is excluded because the composition with X being 2 to 3, Y being 3 to 4 and x=1˜2 results in a superconductor. The inventor has studied such composition range in the proximity of but outside that of a superconductor which might have both a superconductivity and a photoconductivity, and found that an oxide with X Being 2 to 3, Y being 3 to 4 and 0≦x<1 becomes an insulator or a semiconductor, but such insulating or semiconducting oxide reveals a photoconductivity in response to incident light of specific frequencies, i.e., 500-740 nm in terms of wavelength.
The inventor noted the fact that Bi2 O3 shows a photoconductivity in response to visible light of certain frequencies, and he has tried to find metallic elements which, when added, render the Bi2 O3 --based substance both superconductive and photoconductive. In particular, addition of Ca, Sr, and Cu has been studied, and as a result, the oxide composition for photoconductive-substance of the above general chemical formula has been invented, which composition is similar to that of a superconductor but does not provide a complete superconductivity.
The concentration range of 0≦x<, 0<y≦2, 4≦z≦9 along with X being 2 to 3 and Y being 3 to 4 in the above-mentioned general chemical formula is the condition necessary for making the oxide of the invention potentially superconductive and photoconductive, i.e., a superconductive photoconductive-substance. When x=0, the oxide becomes CaX -Srx -Bi.sub.(Y-y) -Cuy -Oz and this oxide also falls within the scope of the invention.
The reasons for the limitations in the method of the invention will be described now. The two sintering processes, i.e., a primary sintering process of heating at 700Ḟ-850Ḟ C. for 2-10 hours so as to cause solid phase reactions among starting materials followed by the gradual cooling, shaping under pressure, and a secondary sintering process of heating at 750Ḟ-880Ḟ C. for 2-10 hours followed by the gradual cooling, are necessary to effect complete solid phase reactions so as to produce a homogeneous solid phase. In the sintering, heating above 880Ḟ C. is undesirable because it tends to cause melting, while heating below 700Ḟ-750Ḟ C. is undesirable because it cannot fulfill the complete solid phase reactions.
The process of keeping at 500Ḟ-600Ḟ C. for 2-3 hours is for annealing in order to remove strains and to homogenize the alloy, which strains are caused during the machining for the shaping under pressure and by the secondary sintering.
The cooling after the annealing, either extremely quickly at a rate of 1500Ḟ-900Ḟ C./sec or slowly at a rate of 150Ḟ-200Ḟ C./hour, is to regulate the oxygen concentration z in the expression of Oz. In the extremely rapid quenching, the faster the cooling is, the smaller the oxygen concentration z in Oz becomes. When the cooling is slow, the oxygen concentration z of Oz is kept at a large value.

An example of the oxide composition of the invention is Ca.sub.(2-x) Srx Bi.sub.(3-y) Cuy Oz, and the inventor has carried out work, with emphasis on the effects of composition, i.e., the change in the phase diagram due to variation in the concentrations x and y. The inventor's studies covered not only the superconductive phase but also the semiconductive phase and insulating phase.
A large number of the specimens of Ca2-x) Srx Bi.sub.(3-y) Cuy Oz group were made from powders of CaCO3, SrCO3, Bi2 O3, and CuO. The effect of the starting material composition on the concentrations x and y was checked in detail, and it was found that the concentrations x and y can be controlled by adjusting the starting composition. It was also found that the oxygen concentration z could be controlled, to a certain extent, by regulating the temperature of the secondary sintering and by selecting the rate of cooling after the annealing.
Specimen #S127 was made by preparing a mixture of 0.400 g of CaCO3, 0.466 g of Bi2 O3, 0.318 g of CuO and firing the mixture so as to produce Ca2 Bi1 Cu2 Oz. Specimen #S170 was made by preparing a mixture of 0.200 g of CaCO3, 0.295 g of SrCO3, 0.465 g of Bi2 O3, 0.318 g of CuO and firing the mixture so as to produce Ca1 Sr1 Bi1 Cu2 Oz. The value of z, i.e., the oxygen concentration, in the above chemical formula was controlled in a range of 5 to 8 by carefully regulating the sintering temperature and the method and speed of cooling. The physical properties of the oxide varied depending on the oxygen concentration z therein.
Starting materials of each specimen were measured so as to be mixed at proper ratios for the desired composition, and the mixture was stirred up thoroughly, heated at 700Ḟ-850Ḟ C. for 2 hours so as to effect the solid phase reactions of primary sintering, cooled gradually, and shaped into pellets under pressure. The pellets were reheated at 750Ḟ-880Ḟ C. for 2 to 3 hours for effecting secondary sintering. The specimen #S127 was held at 500Ḟ C. for 2 hours and cooled gradually. On the other hand, the specimen #S170 was annealed by reheating at 800Ḟ C. for 2 hours and keeping at 500Ḟ C. for 1 to 2 hours, and then cooled gradually to room temperature.
Test method
The phase diagram of Ca.sub.(X-x)-Srx -Bi.sub.(Y-y) -Cuy -Oz group oxide is complicated, because the oxide is of a 5-element system, and the result of the inventor's study is not yet exhaustive and further studies are necessary to clarify details of the diagram. Very important factors are combinations of the element concentrations X, x, Y, and y in the composition and the control of the oxygen concentration z corresponding to the oxygen vacancy. Despite enormous efforts of a large number of scientists, we have to wait for sometime before the completion of the study. The inventor has paid attention not only to the superconductive phase but also to the semiconductive phase. With a number of the specimens of Ca-Sr-Bi-Cu-O group made from powders of CaCO3, SrCO3, Bi2 O3, and CuO, detailed studies were made on ratios of starting materials in a mixture for each specimen, the process of quick or slow cooling, and the composition was found to be controllable to a certain extent.
Since specimens of the Ca.sub.(2-x) Srx Bi.sub.(3-y) Cuy Oz group had a very high resistance within a certain value range of x, y and z, or they were semiconductive at least in a low temperature range, two types of techniques were used for the measurement of the resistivity and conductivity. First, to measure the insulating specimen (ρ≧108 Ω-cm), such as the specimen #S127 at 4.2 K, a fast pulse technique with blocking electrodes as shown in FIG. 1A was adopted. Difficulties noted in the preceding applications were overcome by using the fast pulse technique. Transverse mode electrode disposition, as shown in FIG. 1B, was also used for certain measurements. In actual measurement, each electric field pulse E of up to E≅5 kV/cm has a duration of 10 ms at a repetition frequency of 13 Hz, and exciting light beam pulses of 3 ns width were synchronized with the electric field pulses so that each light beam coincides within a certain portion of the electric field pulse E as shown in FIG. 1C. Second, for moderately conductive specimens such as the specimen #S170 (ρ≦10-2 -10-1 Ω-cm), regular resistive measurements were carried out by adopting the usual four-probe method in the dark without using the exciting light.
Static magnetic susceptibility or magnitude of magnetization M(T,H) was measured in weak fields up to H≅500 Oe by using a microwave SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) at 9 GHz as shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C, in a similar manner to that in the above-mentioned U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 244,240 and 244,274.
In the measurement of photoconductivity, optical excitation was effected by using a pulsed dye laser. Spectral responses can be of the order of 1012 cm-3 and were also carefully studied in detail. The density of excited photocarriers was of the order of 105 to 107 /cm3, and when the absorption coefficient is large, they can be of the order of 1012 cm-3 in a thin surface layer of 10-3 to 10-4 cm thickness. All photosignals were normal detected in the synchronized mode by using the Boxcar integrator.
Experimental Results
The specimen of Ca.sub.(2-x Srx Bi1 Cu2 Oz (x=1), such as the specimen #S170, looks black, and its resistivity at room temperature is of the order of ρ≦10-1 Ω-cm. On the other hand, the specimen of Ca.sub.(2-x)Srx Bi1 Cu2 Oz (x=0), such as the specimen #S127, looks gray, and its resistivity at room temperature is as high as ρ≧108 Ω-cm. The inventor's measurement of the specimen #S127 (x=0, semiconductive) by the above-mentioned transient pulse technique proved that signals indicative of photoconductivity definitely appear at both of two temperatures below 105-115 K and below 65-85 K, probably due to two different mixed phase mechanisms.
It is noted at first that, as to the electric field (E) dependence of the photoresponse Q(λ, T, E), it is substantially linear at about 4.2 K up to E≅5 kV/cm.
FIG. 3A illustrates a typical spectrum of pulse-excited transient photoresponse Q(λ, T) of the reference specimen #B03, i.e., Bi2 O3, over wavelength λ of about 500-740 nm, and FIG. 3B illustrates a similar spectrum of the specimen #S127, i.e., Ca.sub.(2-x) Srx Bi1 Cu2 Oz (x=0). It is noted here that the curve of FIG. 3A is probably the first disclosure of this kind of technical knowledge in the world, which relates to the photoconductivity of Bi2 O3 corresponding to light absorption at low temperatures, whereby the curve will be used as a standard reference in the future. The curve was drawn based on the measured data obtained by the inventor.
Next, temperature dependence of the pulse-excited transient photoresponse Q(λ, T) in the wavelengths λ of about 530-740 nm was studied by using the reference specimen #SB03, i.e., Bi2 O3, and the semiconductive specimen #S127, as shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, respectively. Surprisingly, there definitely exists a systematic similarity in general characteristics of the transient photoresponse Q(λ, T) between the specimens #B03 and #S127. As clearly recognized by anybody from FIGS. 4A and 4B, with decreasing temperature, the "photoresponse" appears at temperatures below 105-115 K and below 65-85 K, even in the semiconductive specimen, as if potential superconductivity exists, and the photoresponse Q increases monotonously and increases again at the temperature below 10 K depending on the case.
Finally, FIG. 4C shows the dark resistivity ρ(T) of superconductive specimen #S170, i.e., Ca1 Sr1 Bi1 Cu2 Oz. As can be noticed immediately by anybody, the specimen #S170 shows superconductivity at a temperature below 105-115 K and at a temperature below 65-85 K, and the photoresponse Q(λ, T) coincides with it surprisingly well as shown in FIG. 4B.
It is by no means easy to interpret these experimental facts. Careful checking and evaluation show that heating effects of specimens by the exciting light is very small. At 300 K, the specimen #S127 Ca.sub.(2-x) Srx Bi1 Cu2 Oz (x=0) behaves like a semiconductor. Its "photoconductivity" observed with the blocking electrodes probably has close correlation with the "superconductivity" of the superconductive specimen #S170. This is probably due to the superconductive characters of the insulating part of the specimen, as shown in FIGS. 3A, 3B and FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C. Surprisingly, there exists an "occurrence of photoconductivity phenomenon" potentially correlative with superconductivity underlying even in the semiconducting specimen #S127 as displayed in FIG. 4B.
It is a widely recognized fact that, of the oxides of the Ca.sub.(2-x) Srx Bi.sub.(3-y) Cuy Oz group, a semiconductive specimen usually has gray color. The spectral photoresponse Q(λ, T) of FIGS. 3A and 3B strongly suggests that there exists a region of the Bi2 O3 --like state in the specimens of Ca.sub.(2-x) Srx Bi.sub.(3-y) Cuy Oz group, if not atomic layers.
Optical absorption and photoconductivity by Bi2 O3 themselves have not been thoroughly analyzed yet in experiments at low temperature and in terms of the exciton theory. However, this seems to be a typical example of Frenkel type excitons of the charge transferable type in a cation shell or a few neighbors. The position of the fine structure in the Q(λ, T) of the above-mentioned Ca-Sr-Bi-Cu-O group very well coincides with basic absorption end structure of the reference substance Bi2 O3. The inventor can recognize a few outstanding fine structures which are probably due to the excitons. For instance, the spectra of photo-response of Ca2 Bi1 Cu2 Oz are similar to those of the reference substance Bi2 O3. In the proximity of λ≅623 nm of the spectra, the inventor notices such structure which could be considered to correspond to the state of n=2 in an exciton series of Bi2 O3. Thus, one can reasonably conceive that there exists at least a finite fraction of the Bi2 O3 --like phase in the Ca-Sr-Bi-Cu-O group oxides which fraction cannot be ignored. In the Bi2 O3 -like phase, the photoexcited electrons and/or holes are definitely mobile. (see FIG. 5A.)
A conduction electron or a positive hole in standard types of Bi2 O3 crystals has been reported to form a rather "small polaron" as discussed before in terms of the coupling constant α. In any case, the "occurrence of photoresponse Q(λ, T)" in insulating specimens is clearly related to the "occurrence of superconductivity", as if potential superconductivity exists in the photoconductivity phenomenon. The effects of the polaron, whether it is a "large polaron" with the LO (longitudinal optical)-phonons, a "small polaron" due to the Jahn-Teller effect or possibly an intermediate one due to both effects, must be substantial at least potentially just like the "polaron effects due to electronic polarization" are, as shown in FIGS. 3A, 3B and FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C. The effects of such polaron are probably effective in a coherently hybridized form of these elementary excitations. Special attention must be paid to polarons due to electronic polarization, which are also referred to as "excitonic polarons". As an outcome from the examination of the result of the above experiments, the inventor has noticed close correlation between the polarons and excitons.
Referring to FIG. 5A, these polarons and excitons had yielded out of the optical inter-band transition from the hybridized 2p-O and 6s-Bi valence bands leaving a (2p)6 (6s)1 positive hole (a white circle) to the 6p-Bi conduction band (possibly mixing with the Cu(4s, 3d) (not shown) depending on the case) creating a (6p)1 conduction electron together with the LO-phonon interaction. A polaron of a Ca-Sr-Bi-Cu-O group oxide can be created either by the optical excitation here or substitution of Ca by Sr, as shown in FIG. 5B. Here, FIG. 5B refers to a superconductor with x=1. The positive hole in the 2p-O and 6s-Bi hybridized valence band can be produced from the many-body ground state through either chemical pressure induced intra-band or optically induced inter-band transition, and the electron correlation effects are of course very important. One must pay more attention to the dynamical valence fluctuation between Cu+1 and Cu+2, especially between Bi3+ and Bi5+, as well as between Bi3+ and Bi4+ and between Cu2+ and Cu3+. Therefore, for the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity, one may reasonably conceive potential roles of an ensemble of polarons, whether large or small, and especially closely associated with excitons. The ensemble of united polarons and excitons here are probably a set of bipolarons, polaronic excitons and/or, most probably, "exciton-mediated bipolarons" due to the dynamical electron-phonon and electron correlation effects.
It was confirmed that the Q(λ, T) of the Ca-Sr-Bi-Cu-O group oxide of FIG. 3B has a smaller wavelength dependence to that of the photoresponse Q(λ, T) of Bi2 O3 of FIG. 3B in the wavelength range of 530-740 nm. Consequently, the inventor believes that these studies of elementary excitations here must reveal the nature of the superconducting ground state, despite the enormous difference in the carrier density. To the best knowledge of the inventor, this is the first clear experimental indication of the fact that the Ca-Sr-Bi-Cu-O group oxide has superconductive photoconductivity, i.e., both a superconductivity and a photoconductivity. The polaron and exciton mechanisms, which were disclosed in the preceding patent applications of the inventor with respect to other high-Tc superconductors, have been experimentally confirmed to be displayed also in the oxide of the invention in a correlated manner.
The inventor has found, through the experimental study of the physical properties of the Ca-Sr-Bi-Cu-O group superconductive photoconductive oxide, that the critical temperatures for photoconductivity in the oxide of the invention coincide with the critical temperatures for superconductivity expected in the conventional superconductors, i.e., 115-105 K (high-Tc layer) and 85-65 K (low-Tc layer).
The inventor has also found, for the first time, the close correlation between the x-dependent "superconductivity" of the Ca.sub.(X-x) -Srx -Bi.sub.(Y-y) -Cuy -Oz group superconductive photoconductive oxide of the invention, e.g., at x=0, and the x-dependent "photoconductivity" of the same oxide, e.g., with x in the proximity of zero. Thus, the inventor reconfirmed the existence of the dynamical mechanisms due to polarons and excitons, i.e., the dynamical mechanisms due to "exciton-mediated bipolarons", in the high-Tc superconductivity
Effect of the Invention
Based on the foregoing description, we may safely conclude as follows.
The close correlation between "photoconductivity" and "superconductivity (zero resistance and diamagnetism)" in the temperature range of 4.2 to 300 K has been confirmed on the basis of extensive studies including conductivity measurements performed by using the D.C. 4-probe method and the repetitive pulse photoconductivity measuring method and static susceptibility measurement by using the microwave SQUID.
Both the "superconductive photoconductive oxide" of Ca.sub.(X-x) -Srx -Bi.sub.(Y-y) -Cuy -Oz, X being 2 to 3, 0≦x<1, Y being 3 to 4, 0<y≦2, and z being 4 to 9, and the method for producing such oxide have been invented.
Theoretical analysis of "the dynamical mechanisms due to polarons and excitons", or the mechanism due to "exciton-mediated bipolarons", in the "high-Tc superconductivity" was performed and the invention was developed from such theoretical consideration.
The proposed oxide of the invention will open a new scientific and industrial field, to be named as "superconductive optoelectronics" wherein superconductivity is to be, whether directly or indirectly, controlled by light.
Although the invention has been described with a certain degree of particularly, it must be understood that the present disclosure has been made only by way of example and that numerous changes in details may be resorted to without departing from the scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.

It has been a great lens so far. Very sharp...even wide open. Mine did suffer from the miss-calibrated aperture but I fixed it myself with the procedure outlined HERE.

No one's really heard of it, or cares for that matter. It's been hiding in blends for hundreds of years in France and growing happily yet silently in the rich soil of Argentina for more than a hundred years. Malbec is a grape that plays second or third chair, but it's clamoring for more recognition.
Malbec serves as one of the six red grape varieties allowed in French Bordeaux blends, but grows less favored year after year. In southwestern France, in places like Cahors, where Malbec tastes spicy and massively tannic, it even sports different names, from the odd "Côt" to the romantic sounding "Auxerrois." In its heyday, the grape was planted throughout the country and still has more than 50 nicknames, but its sensitivity to frost forced it lower on growers' popularity lists.
Malbec is also grown in small amounts in California, Chile and Australia, but it found a home in Argentina. Introduced by a Frenchman named Michel Pouget in the mid-19th century, the grape thrives in the Mendoza region, which benefits from more than 300 days of sunlight per year (during our cold winter, mind you). Today, 75 percent of Argentina's wine comes from Mendoza, where Malbec is the most popular varietal.
Argentinean Malbec's taste falls in between Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with bold, in-your-face fruit yet with a softer, less tannic experience. To create a wine like this, a baby sitter is needed during harvest. To avoid "green," unripe tastes, growers have to constantly monitor the fruit so that its sugars and flavors reach the required levels to make a palatable wine.
You might notice the offensive green pepper flavor in some cheaper Malbecs. Some winemakers produce a lighter style, capable of quaffing, while others make wines with hairy balls. The only way to know the difference is by tasting or knowing the producer. But that, of course, is the fun part.
And remember that Malbec is one of those wines that benefits from sitting in the glass awhile to air out the tannins. Give it a few good swirls to mix oxygen into the juice and you can experience the full essence of a good Malbec.
Great recent vintages for Argentinean Malbec have been 2002 and 2003, so look for those to avoid disappointment. In the $10-and-under range, Bodega Norton and Trapiche are pretty reliable and easy to find; $10-$20, try Etchart, Tika and Weinert; $20 and above, go for Catena.
Recommended Wines
Sweetness (SW) rating is out of 10, 10 being pure sugar. Star rating is out of 5, 5 being wine nirvana.
Catena 2003 Malbec Mendoza. SW = 3. $20. Smells like sugar cookies with a blueberry and blackberry compote. Tastes smooth, elegant and raspberry jammy. Delicious wine that's worth much more than you're paying. 4.5 stars
Valdevieso 2003 Malbec Single Vineyard Reserve Chile. SW = 1. $19. An aroma of pancake syrup, but the bold, tannic flavor erases all inkling of sweetness in the mouth. Dark, inky fruit with cherry jam flavor and wine-soaked leather. 4 stars
Nieto 2003 Malbec Riserva Mendoza. SW = 1. $11. A smoky, forceful wine that cannot be ignored in the mouth. Full-bodied and loaded with dark cherries, blackberries, tobacco, plums and an after-sip experience of licorice. 3.5 stars
Conquista 2004 Malbec Mendoza. SW = 1. $10. Lighter in body, with bright raspberry and blackberry, white pepper and plums. Not a lot going on, but it has some refreshing acids as well, making it a good food wine. 2.5 stars
Big Als = Grocery store beef on a grocery store bun.
