Recent trends in crystallography a current IUCr journals perspective

November 1, 2019
Author(s)
Andrew J. Allen
The International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) publishes papers in nine scientific journals, including its high-impact, cross-cutting open-access journal, IUCrJ, plus its data publication, IUCrData. Where are these papers cited? To what degree are

Coexistence of Ferromagnetic Fluctuations and Superconductivity in the Actinide Superconductor UTe 2

October 23, 2019
Author(s)
Shyam Sundar, S. Gheidi, K. Akintola, A. M. Cote, S. R. Dunsiger, S. Ran, Nicholas Butch, S. R. Saha, J. Paglione, J. E. Sonier
We report low-temperature muon spin relaxation/rotation (υSR) measurements on single crystals of the actinide superconductor UTe 2. Below 5 K we observe a continuous slowing down of magnetic fluctuations, which persists through the superconducting

Spin Seebeck Imaging of Spin-Torque Switching in Antiferromagnetic Pt/NiO Heterostructures

Isaiah Gray, Takahiro Moriyama, Nikhil Sivadas, Gregory M. Stiehl, John T. Heron, Ryan F. Need, Brian Kirby, David H. Low, Katja Nowack, Darrell G. Schlom, Daniel C. Ralph, Teruo Ono, Gregory D. Fuchs
We demonstrate the spin Seebeck microscope as a sensitive method for imaging in-plane antiferromagnetic order in thin films. Recently, antidamping spin-orbit torques have been used to reorient Neel order in antiferromagnetic devices. Although the readout

Camille Bishop, Jacob L. Thelen, Eliot Gann, Michael F. Toney, Lian Yu, Dean DeLongchamp, Mark D. Ediger
We show that glasses with aligned smectic liquid crystal-like order can be produced by physical vapor deposition of a molecule without any equilibrium liquid crystal phases. Smectic-like order in vapor-deposited films was characterized by wide-angle X-ray

The pressure evolution of the magnetic properties of the Ce 2RhIn 7.79Cd 0.21 heavy fermion compound was investigated by single crystal neutron magnetic diffraction and electrical resistivity experiments under applied pressure. From the neutron magnetic

Storing information in magnetic recording technologies requires careful optimization of the recording media's magnetic properties. For example, heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) relies on a pre-recording heating step that momentarily lowers the

A monolayer of diruthenium molecules was self-assembled onto the silicon oxide surface in a semiconductor capacitor structure with a ‘click' reaction for nonvolatile memory applications. The attachment of the active molecular monolayer was verified by x

Polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy of \alpha-RuCl3 and evidence of room temperature two-dimensional magnetic scattering

Thuc T. Mai, Amber D. McCreary, P. Lampen-Kelley, Nicholas P. Butch, Jeffrey R. Simpson, J.-Q. Yan, S. E. Nagler, D. Mandrus, Angela R. Hight Walker, Rolando Valdes Aguilar
Polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy was performed and analyzed from large, high quality, mono-domain single crystal of \alpha-RuCl3, a proximate Kitaev quantum spin liquid. Spectra were collected with laser polarizations parallel and perpendicular to

Topology, Landscapes, and Biomolecular Energy Transport

October 11, 2019
Author(s)
Justin E. Elenewski, Kirill Velizhanin, Michael P. Zwolak
While ubiquitous, energy redistribution remains a poorly understood facet of the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of biomolecules. At the molecular level, finite-size effects, pronounced nonlinearities, and ballistic processes conspire to produce behavior

Phonon Dispersion of Mo-stabilized -g-U measured using Inelastic X-ray Scattering

Author(s)
Z. E. Brubaker, Sheng NMN Ran, A. H. Said, M. E. Manley, P. Soderlind, D. Rosas, Y. Idell, R. J. Zieve, Nicholas Butch, J. R. Jeffries
We have measured the room-temperature phonon spectrum of Mo-stabilized γ−U. The dispersion curves show unusual softening near the H point, q=[1/2,1/2,1/2], which may derive from the metastability of the γ−U phase or from strong electron-phonon coupling

Anharmonic Acoustic Phonons and A-site Critical Fluctuations in the Lead Halide Perovskite CsPbBr 3

We apply neutron spectroscopy to investigate the transverse acoustic phonons in the lead halide CsPbBr 3 near the three zone boundaries of the cubic Pm3m Brillouin zone at QX = (2,1/2,0), Q M = (3/2,1/2,0), and Q R = (1/2,1/2,3/2). CsPbB r3 undergoes two

The possibility to tune the Dzyaloshinskii Moriya interaction (DMI) by electric (E) field gating in ultra-thin magnetic materials has opened new perspectives in terms of controlling the stabilization of chiral spin structures. Most recent efforts have used

One of the most interesting differences between spin triplet superconductors and the conventional spin singlet variety is the two-component triplet order parameter that allows spin up and down electrons to couple with different strength. Such nonunitary
