Light-induced fractional quantum hall phases in graphene

December 15, 2017
Author(s)
Michael Gullans, Areg Ghazaryan, Pouyan Ghaemi, Mohammad Hafezi
We show how to realize two-component fractional quantum Hall phases in monolayer graphene by optically driving the system. A laser is tuned into resonance between two Landau levels of graphene and acts as a e ective tunneling term between these states. We

Dependence of transition width on current and critical current in transition-edge sensors

December 7, 2017
Author(s)
Kelsey M. Morgan, Christine G. Pappas, Douglas A. Bennett, Johnathon D. Gard, James P. Hays-Wehle, Gene C. Hilton, Carl D. Reintsema, Daniel R. Schmidt, Joel N. Ullom, Daniel S. Swetz
If transition-edge sensor (TES) X-ray detectors are to be useful in photon-rich environments,they must maintain high resolving power when pulse durations are engineered to be short, which is usually accomplished by increasing the thermal conductance (G)to

Correspondence: Phantom Phonon Localization in Relaxors

December 5, 2017
Author(s)
Peter M. Gehring, Daniel E Parshall, Leland Weldon Harriger, Christopher Stock, Guangyong Xu, Xiaobing Li, Haosu Luo
Manley et al. (Ref. [1]) report the observation of an unexpected, weak, phonon mode located in energy between that of the transverse acoustic (TA) and soft transverse optic (TO) modes in the relaxor ferroelectric Pb[(Mg0.33Nb0.67)1-xTix]O3 (PMN-xPT) with

Measuring the dielectric and optical response of millimeter-scale amorphous and hexagonal boron nitride films grown on epitaxial graphene

December 1, 2017

Albert F. Rigosi, Heather M. Hill, Nicholas R. Glavin, Sujitra J. Pookpanratana, Yanfei Yang, Alexander G. Boosalis, Jiuning Hu, Anthony Rice, Andrew A. Allerman, Nhan V. Nguyen, Christina A. Hacker, Randolph E. Elmquist, Angela R. Hight Walker, David B. Newell
Monolayer epitaxial graphene (EG), grown on the Si face of SiC, is an advantageous material for a variety of electronic and optical applications. EG forms as a single crystal over millimeter- scale areas and consequently, the large scale single crystal can

Quasi-Two-dimensional Phase Transition of Methane Adsorbed in Cylindrical Silica Mesopores

November 29, 2017
Author(s)
Daniel W. Siderius, William P. Krekelberg, Wei-Shan NMN Chiang, Vincent K. Shen, Yun Liu
Using Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations, we examine the adsorption of methane in cylindrical silica mesopores in an effort to understand a possible phase transition of adsorbed methane in MCM-41 and SBA-15 silica that was previously identified

Probing the dielectric response of the interfacial buffer layer in epitaxial graphene via optical spectroscopy

November 28, 2017
Author(s)
Heather M. Hill, Albert Rigosi, Sugata Chowdhury, Yanfei Yang, Nhan Van Nguyen, Francesca Tavazza, Randolph Elmquist, David B. Newell, Angela R. Hight Walker
Monolayer epitaxial graphene (EG) is a suitable candidate for a variety of electronic applications. One advantage of EG growth on the Si face of SiC is that it develops as a single crystal, as does the layer below, referred to as the interfacial buffer

Pressure Tuning of Collapse of Helimagnetic Structure in Au 2 Mn

November 27, 2017
Author(s)
I Lin NMN Liu, Maria J. Pascale, Juscelino Leao, Craig Brown, William D. Ratcliff, Qingzhen Huang, Nicholas Butch
We identify the phase boundary between spiral spin and ferromagnetic phases in Au 2Mn at a critical pressure of 16.4 kbar, as determined by neutron diffraction, magnetization and magnetoresistance measurements. The temperature-dependent critical field at a

Resonant X-ray Emission of Hexagonal Boron Nitride

November 9, 2017
Author(s)
John T. Vinson, Terrence J Jach, Matthias Mueller, Rainer Unterumsberger, Burkhard Beckhoff
The electronic structure of hexagonal boron nitride ({\it h}-BN) is explored using measurements of x-ray absorption and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the nitrogen K edge (1{\it s}) in tandem with calculations of the same using many-body

The Momentum Distribution of Liquid 4 He

November 1, 2017
Author(s)
Timothy R Prisk, M. S. Bryan, P. E. Sokol, G. E. Granroth, S. Moroni, M. Boninsegni
We report high-resolution neutron Compton scattering measurements of liquid 4He under saturated vapor pressure. There is excellent agreement between the observed scattering and ab initio predictions of its lineshape. quantum Monte Carlo calculations

Local field effect on charge-capture/emission dynamics

October 30, 2017
Author(s)
Kin P. Cheung, Dmitry Veksler, Jason P. Campbell
Charge-capture/emission is ubiquitous in solid state devices. Its dynamics often play critical roles in device operation and reliability. Treatment of this basic process is found in many text books and is considered well understood. As in many solid state

Phase Competition in the Palmer-Chalker XY Pyrochlore Er 2 Pt 2 O 7

October 30, 2017

A. M. Hallas, J. Gaudet, Nicholas Butch, Guangyong Xu, M. Tachibana, C. R. Wiebe, Graeme M. Luke, Bruce D. Gaulin
We report neutron scattering measurements on Er 2Pt 2O 7, a new addition to the XY family of frustrated pyrochlore magnets. Symmetry analysis of our elastic scattering data shows that Er 2Pt 2Od7^ is the first XY pyrochlore to order into the κ = 0,Γ 7

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
