Growth-Induced In-Plane Uniaxial Anisotropy V 2 O 3 /Ni Films

October 18, 2017

Dustin Allen Gilbert, Juan Gabriel Ramirez, T. Saerbeck, J. Trastoy, Ivan K. Schuller, Kai Liu, J. de la Venta
We report a microstructure-induced uniaxial anisotropy in V 2O 3/Ni hybrid thin films obtained from temperature and angular dependence of the magnetization. X-ray diffraction and reciprocal space maps identify the in-plane crystalline axes of the V 2O 3

We investigate Cu-doped Ba(Fe 1-xCu x) 2As 2 with transport, magnetic susceptibility, and elastic neutron scattering measurements. In the heavily Cu-doped regime where long-range stripe-type antiferromagnetic order in BaFe 2As 2 is suppressed, Ba(Fe 1-xCu

We report inelastic neutron scattering measurements of low energy (hwapproximately less than} 10 meV) magnetic excitations in the "11" system Fe 1+yTe 1-xSe x. The spin correlations are two-dimensional (2D) in the superconducting samples at low temperature

The structural polymorphism in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) provides exciting opportunities for developing advanced electronics. For example, MoTe2 crystallizes in the 2H semiconducting phase at ambient temperature and pressure, but transitions

Threshold Dynamics of a Semiconductor Single Atom Maser

August 31, 2017

Michael Gullans, Jacob M. Taylor, Yinyiu Liu, J. Stehlik, Christopher Eichler, X Mi, T Hartke, Jason Petta
We demonstrate a single-atom maser consisting of a semiconductor double quantum dot (DQD) that is embedded in a high quality factor microwave cavity. A finite bias drives the DQD out of equilibrium resulting in sequential single electron tunneling and

Optical spin transfer and spin-orbit torques in thin-film ferromagnets

August 30, 2017
Author(s)
Junwen Li, Paul M. Haney
We study the optically induced torques on thin film ferromagnetic layers under excitation by circularly polarized light. We include Rashba spin-orbit coupling and assume an out-of-plane magnetization, and consider incident light with an in-plane component
