Recent experiments have demonstrated that the metamaterial approach is capable of drastically increasing the critical temperature, T c, of composite metal-dielectric epsilon near zero (ENZ) metamaterial superconductors. For example, a tripling of the

Anomalous spin-orbit torques in magnetic single-layer films

Spin-orbit interaction (SOI) couples charge and spin transport, enabling electrical control of magnetization, the foundation of next-generation spintronic devices. A quint essential example of SOI-induced transport is the anomalous Hall effect (AHE), first

Topological defects are found ubiquitously in various kinds of matter, such as vortices in type-II superconductors, and magnetic skyrmions in chiral ferromagnets. While knowledge on the static behavior of magnetic skyrmions is accumulating steadily, their

Superconductivity in iron selenide (FeSe) emerges from a nematic phase that breaks four-fold rotational symmetry in the iron plane [Fig. 1(a)] [1-4]. Although this phase in FeSe is established below a tetragonal-to-orthorhombic transition temperature Τ s

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

June 24, 2019
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

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

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
