Singular Angular Magnetoresistance in a Magnetic Nodal Semimetal

June 26, 2019
Author(s)
T. Suzuki, L. Savary, J.-P. Liu, Jeffrey W. Lynn, L. Balents, J. G. Checkelsky
Transport coefficients are incisive experimental probes of the low energy, long wavelength properties of correlated electron systems often useful for mapping hidden phases with distinct symmetries. Here we report a new transport signature of spontaneous

Jaydeep D. Joshi, Heather M. Hill, Sugata Chowdhury, Christos D. Malliakas, Francesca M. Tavazza, Utpal Chatterjee, Angela R. Hight Walker, Patrick M. Vora
2H-TaS2 undergoes a charge density wave (CDW) transition at T_CDW ~ 75 K, however key questions regarding the onset of CDW order remain under debate. In this study, we explore the CDW transition through a combination of temperature and excitation-dependent

Intrinsic spin currents in ferromagnets

Author(s)
Vivek P. Amin, Junwen Li, Mark D. Stiles, Paul M. Haney
First principles calculations show that electric fields applied to ferromagnets generate spin currents flowing perpendicularly to the electric field. Reduced symmetry in these ferromagnets enables a wide variety of such spin currents. However, the total

Trilayer nickelates, which exhibit a high degree of orbital polarization combined with an electron (d 8.67) corresponding to overdoped cuprates, have been recognized as promising candidates for achieving high-T c superconductivity. One such material, La

We report a large spin Hall effect in the 3$d$ transition metal alloy Ni$_x$Cu$_{1-x}$ for $x \in \{ 0.3,0.75\} $, detected via the ferromagnetic resonance of a permalloy (Py = Ni$_{80}$Fe$_{20}$) film deposited in a bilayer with the alloy. A thickness

Travis M. Autry, Galan Moody, James M. Fraser, Corey A. McDonald, Richard P. Mirin, Kevin L. Silverman
Multidimensional coherent spectroscopy is a powerful tool for understanding the ultrafast dynamics of complex quantum systems. To fully characterize the nonlinear optical response of a system, multiple pulse sequences must be recorded and quantitatively

Charge noise can be detrimental to the operation of quantum dot (QD) based semiconductor qubits. We study the low-frequency charge noise by charge o set drift measurements for Si-MOS devices with intentionally implanted donors near the QDs. We show that

Mechanisms of spontaneous chain formation and subsequent microstructural evolution in shear- driven strongly confined drop monolayers

Sagnik Singha, Abhilash R. Malipeddi, Mauricio Zurita-Gotor, Kausik Sarkar, Kevin Shen, Michael Loewenberg, Kalman D. Migler, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz
It was experimentally demonstrated by Migler and his collaborators [Phys. Rev. Lett. 2001, 86, 1023; Langmuir 2003, 19, 8667] that a strongly confined drop monolayer sheared between two parallel plates can spontaneously develop a flow-oriented drop-chain

Eric R. Edwards, Hans T. Nembach, Justin M. Shaw
We measure the dynamic properties of Co 25Fe 75 thin films grown by dc magnetron sputtering. Using ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy, we demonstrate an ultralow total damping parameter in the out-of-plane configuration of 0.0013, whereas for the in

When epitaxial graphene (EG) grows on hexagonal SiC(0001), chemical doping is produced by bonds at the epitaxial interface, or buffer layer. Robust quantum Hall effect (QHE) plateaus are observed at RK/2 = h/2e2, where RK is a constant of electrical

Chantrell, M A. Hoefer, Thomas J. Silva, H A. Durr
Sub-picosecond magnetisation manipulation via femtosecond optical pumping has attracted wide attention ever since its original discovery in 1996. However, the spatial evolution of the magnetisation is not yet well understood, in part due to the difficulty
