Pandigital concatenations (Posted on 2014-05-10)

What is the smallest integer n such that a concatenation of n² and n³ contains each of the ten decimal digits exactly once?

What is the smallest integer m, m>n such that a concatenation of m² and m³ contains each of the ten decimal digits once and some of them more than once?

Please provide few additional(i.e. not smallest) samples for both cases.

There is only one value for n, shown below, above the row of hyphens, together with n^2 and n^3.

For m, all values below 1000 are shown (just ignore the first line where m = n, contrary to the specific rule) below the row of hyphens.
