Kha Tran, Galan Moody, Travis M. Autry, Kevin L. Silverman, Fengcheng Wu, Junho Choi, Akshay Singh, Jacob Embley, Andre Zepeda, Marshall Cambel, Kyoung Kim, Amritesh Rai, Daniel Sanchez, Takashi Taniguchi, Kenji Watanabe, Li Yang, Nanshu Lu, Sanjay Banerjee, emanuel tutuc, Allan H. MacDonald, Xiaoqin Li
Recent advances in the isolation and stacking of monolayers of van der Waals materials have provided approaches for the preparation of quantum materials in the ultimate two-dimensional limit. In van der Waals heterostructures formed by stacking two

Low-Carrier Density and Fragile Magnetism in a Kondo Lattice System

Binod K. Rai, Iain W. H. Oswald, Wenjing Ban, C.-L. Huang, V. Loganathan, A. M. Hallas, M. N. Wilson, G. M. Luke, Leland Harriger, Qingzhen Huang, Y. Li, Sami Dzsaber, Julia Y. Chan, N. L. Wang, Silke Paschen, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Andriy H. Nevidomskyy, Pengcheng Dai, Q. Si, E. Morosan
Known low carrier Kondo systems evolve from metallic non-magnetic analogues, while a recent theoretical model for the dilute carrier Kondo limit predicts semimetallic behavior. Very few 4f low carrier Kondo systems have been reported, mostly based on Ce

In order for Single Flux Quantum (SFQ) circuits to be scaled to densities needed for large-scale integration, typical lithographically-patterned circuit components should be made to be as compact as possible. In this work, we characterize the performance

Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have seen a rapid rise in power conversion efficiencies in recent years; however, they still suffer from interfacial recombination and charge extraction losses at interfaces between the perovskite

Novel electronic phenomena frequently form in heavy fermions as a consequence of the mutual nature of localization and itineracy of f-electrons. On the magnetically ordered side of the heavy fermion phase diagram, f-moments are expected to be localized and

Mechanosensitive ion permeation across sub-nanoporous MoS2 monolayers

We use all-atom molecular dynamics simulations informed by density functional theory calculations to investigate aqueous ion transport across subnanoporous monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) membranes subject to varying tensile strains. Driven by a

Spin correlations of the frustrated pyrochlore oxide Tb 2+xTi 2-xO 7+y have been investigated by using inelastic neutron scattering on single crystalline samples (x = -0.007, 0.000, and 0.003), which have the putative quantum-spin-liquid (QSL) or electric

Electrical Detection of Singlet Fission in Single Crystal Tetracene Transistors

January 4, 2019
Author(s)
Hyuk-Jae Jang, Emily Bittle, Qin Zhang, Adam Biacchi, Curt A. Richter, David J. Gundlach
Here, we present the electrical detection of singlet fission in tetracene by using a field- effect transistor (FET). Singlet fission is a photo-induced spin-dependent process yielding two triplet excitons from the absorption of a single photon. , In this

Continuum of Quantum Fluctuations in a Three-Dimensional S = 1 Heisenberg Magnet

K. W. Plumb, Hitesh J. Changlani, A. Scheie, Shu Zhang, J. W. Krizan, Jose Rodriguez Rivera, Yiming Qiu, B. Winn, R. J. Cava, Collin L. Broholm
Spin liquids are a fundamentally new phase of matter that cannot be described by a broken symmetry and have no order parameter. While the quantum entanglement that characterizes a quantum spin liquid is not directly accessible to any current measurement

Alexandros Chremos, Jack F. Douglas
We show that the backbone chains of bottlebrush polymer melts exhibit a hidden hyperuniform packing over a wide temperature range above glass transition temperature. These findings open a venue for a practical design of hyperuniform polymeric materials for

Inelastic neutron scattering is utilized to measure the spin waves, or magnons, which arise from inter-particle coupling between 8.4 nm ferrite nanoparticles that are self-assembled into a close-packed lattice, yet physically separated by oleic acid
