We have used a combination of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy and polarized small angle neutron scattering (P-SANS) to investigate the distribution of magnetization in heterogenous magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) consisting of a metallic
For glass-forming polymers, direct quantitative comparison of atomistically detailed molecular dynamics simulations with thermomechanical experiments is hindered by the vast mismatch between the accessible timescales. Recently, we demonstrated the

The accurate prediction of stable crystalline phases is a long-standing problem encountered in the study of conventional atomic and molecular solids as well as soft materials. One possible solution involves enumerating a reasonable set of candidate

Van der Waals layered materials, such as the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), are an exciting class of materials with weak interlayer bonding which enables one to create so-called van der Waals heterostructures (vdWH). One promising attribute of

Understanding the electronic structure of organic/molecular semiconductors and the energetics at their interfaces with metals is critical for organic-based electronics applications. Here we demonstrate that the energetics at metal/molecule interfaces can

The (Li 1-xFe xOH)FeSe superconductor has been suspected to exhibit long-range magnetic ordering due to Fe substitution in the LiOH layer. However, no direct observation such as magnetic reflection from neutron diffraction has be reported. Here, we use a

We report neutron diffraction studies of FeS single crystals obtained from Rb xFe 2-yS 2 single crystals via a hydrothermal method. While no √5 x √5 iron vacancy order or block antiferromagnetic order typical of RRb xFe 2-yS 2 is found in our samples, we

We report on the growth of isotopically enriched 28Si epitaxial films with precisely controlled enrichment levels, ranging from natural abundance ratio of 92.2% all the way to 99.99987 % (0.832 × 10-6 mol/mol 29Si). Isotopically enriched 28Si is regarded

Chiral pumping from optical electric fields oscillating at THz frequencies is observed in the Weyl material TaAs with electric and magnetic fields aligned along both the a- and c-axes. Free carrier spectral weight enhancement is measured directly for the

The orthorhombic pseudo-perovskite series NdMn 1-xFe xO 3+δ has negative magnetization, i.e. magnetization directed opposite to an applied field under certain conditions, for x = 0.3 and x=0.25. We have investigated the microscopic origin of this

The electronic nematic phase, wherein electronic degrees of freedom lower the crystal rotational symmetry, is a common motif across a number of high-temperature superconductors. However, understanding the role and influence of nematicity and nematic
