Optical evidence of the chiral magnetic anomaly in the Weyl semimetal TaAs

March 4, 2020
Author(s)
Antonio L. Levy, Andrei Sushkov, Fengguang Liu, Bing Shen, Ni Ni, Howard D. Drew, Gregory Jenkins
Chiral pumping from optical electric fields oscillating at THz frequencies is observed in the Weyl material TaAs with electric and magnetic fields aligned along both the a- and c-axes. Free carrier spectral weight enhancement is measured directly for the

Nd Ordering, Cluster Formation, and the Origin of Negative Magnetization in NdMn 0l8 Fe 0.2 O 3=d

D. M. Pajerowski, Jr. C. A. Escanhoela, D. Haskel, Timothy R Prisk, M. D. Frontzek, D. Phelan, Jr. Mihalik, M. Mihalik
The orthorhombic pseudo-perovskite series NdMn 1-xFe xO 3+δ has negative magnetization, i.e. magnetization directed opposite to an applied field under certain conditions, for x = 0.3 and x=0.25. We have investigated the microscopic origin of this

Sixfold Enhancement of Superconductivity in a Tunable Electronic Nematic System

Christoper Eckberg, Daniel J. Campbell, Tristin Metz, John Collini, Halyna Hodovanets, Tyler Drye, Peter Zavalij, Morten H. Christensen, Rafael M. Fernandes, Sangjun Lee, Peter Abbamonte, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Johnpierre Paglione
The electronic nematic phase, wherein electronic degrees of freedom lower the crystal rotational symmetry, is a common motif across a number of high-temperature superconductors. However, understanding the role and influence of nematicity and nematic

Grand Canonical Inverse Design of Multicomponent Colloidal Crystals

Author(s)
Nathan Mahynski, Evan Pretti, Runfang Mao, Vincent K. Shen, Jeetain Mittal
Inverse design methods are powerful computational approaches for creating colloidal systems which self-assemble into a target morphology by reverse engineering the Hamiltonian of the system. Despite this, these optimization procedures tend to yield

Quasi-two-dimensional magnon identification in antiferromagnetic FePS3 via magneto-Raman spectroscopy

Amber D. McCreary, Jeffrey R. Simpson, Thuc T. Mai, Robert D. McMichael, Jason E. Douglas, Nicholas P. Butch, Cindi L. Dennis, Rolando Valdes Aguilar, Angela R. Hight Walker
Recently it was discovered that van der Waals-bonded magnets retain long range magnetic ordering even down to a monolayer thickness, opening many avenues in fundamental physics and potential applications of these fascinating materials. One example is FePS3

Valence Instability Across the Magnetostructural Transition in USb 2

Z. E. Brubaker, Y. Xiao, P. Chow, C. Kenney-Benson, J. S. Smith, H. Cynn, C. Reynolds, Nicholas Butch, R. J. Zieve, J. R. Jeffries
We have performed pressure dependent X-ray diffraction and resonant X-ray emission spectroscopy experiments on USb 2 to further characterize the AFM-FM transition occuring near 8 GPa. We have found the magnetic transition coincides with a tetragonal to

Ungapped Magnetic Excitations Beyond Hidden Order in URu 2-x Re x Si 2

February 12, 2020
Author(s)
Nicholas P. Butch, Jose A. Rodriguez, M. Brian Maple
We use inelastic neutron scattering measurements to show that the energy gap in the magnetic excitations of URu 2Si 2, induced by the Hidden Order transition, is closed by Re substitution. The magnetic excitations remain ungapped in compositions where the

Electron Induced Massive Dynamics of Magnetic Domain Walls

February 4, 2020

Hilary M. Hurst, Victor Galitski, Tero T. Heikkila
We study the dynamics of domain walls (DWs) in a metallic, ferromagnetic nanowire. We develop a Keldysh collective coordinate technique to describe the effect of conduction electrons on rigid magnetic structures. The effective Lagrangian and Langevin

In this study, the inelastic neutron scattering (INS) probe of SIKA in ANSTO is employed to investigate the magnon dispersion curve in ferromagnetic SrRuO 3 single crystal epitaxial films and to better understand the underlying mechanisms. This report

A Predictive Control Algorithm for Time-Division-Multiplexed Readout of TES Microcalorimeters

Time division multiplexing (TDM) uses a digital flux-locked loop (DFLL) to linearize each first-stage SQUID amplifier. Presently, the dynamic range of our TDM systems is limited by the use of a proportional-integral controller to maintain the DFLL. In this

Maicol A. Ochoa, Michael P. Zwolak
We investigate protocols for optimal molecular detection with electromechanical nanoscale sensors in ambient conditions. Our models are representative of suspended graphene nanoribbons, which due to their piezoelectric and electronic properties, provide
