Spin Seebeck Imaging of Spin-Torque Switching in Antiferromagnetic Pt/NiO Heterostructures

Isaiah Gray, Takahiro Moriyama, Nikhil Sivadas, Gregory M. Stiehl, John T. Heron, Ryan F. Need, Brian Kirby, David H. Low, Katja Nowack, Darrell G. Schlom, Daniel C. Ralph, Teruo Ono, Gregory D. Fuchs
We demonstrate the spin Seebeck microscope as a sensitive method for imaging in-plane antiferromagnetic order in thin films. Recently, antidamping spin-orbit torques have been used to reorient Neel order in antiferromagnetic devices. Although the readout

Vapor deposition of a nonmesogen prepares highly structured organic glasses

We show that glasses with aligned smectic liquid crystal-like order can be produced by physical vapor deposition of a molecule without any equilibrium liquid crystal phases. Smectic-like order in vapor-deposited films was characterized by wide-angle X-ray

Spin Rotation Induced by Applied Pressure in Cd-Doped Ce 2 RhIn 8 Intermetallic Compound

October 21, 2019

D. S. Christovam, C. Giles, L. Mendonca-Ferreira, Juscelino Leao, William D. Ratcliff, Jeffrey W. Lynn, S. Ramos, E. N. Hering, H. Hidaka, E. Baggio-Saitovich, Z. Fisk, P. G. Pagliuso, C. Adriano
The pressure evolution of the magnetic properties of the Ce 2RhIn 7.79Cd 0.21 heavy fermion compound was investigated by single crystal neutron magnetic diffraction and electrical resistivity experiments under applied pressure. From the neutron magnetic

Using Structural Phase Transitions to Enhance the Coercivity of Ferromagnetic Films

Storing information in magnetic recording technologies requires careful optimization of the recording media's magnetic properties. For example, heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) relies on a pre-recording heating step that momentarily lowers the

Nonvolatile memory based on redox-active Ruthenium molecular monolayers

A monolayer of diruthenium molecules was self-assembled onto the silicon oxide surface in a semiconductor capacitor structure with a ‘click' reaction for nonvolatile memory applications. The attachment of the active molecular monolayer was verified by x

Polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy of \alpha-RuCl3 and evidence of room temperature two-dimensional magnetic scattering

October 14, 2019

Thuc T. Mai, Amber D. McCreary, P. Lampen-Kelley, Nicholas P. Butch, Jeffrey R. Simpson, J.-Q. Yan, S. E. Nagler, D. Mandrus, Angela R. Hight Walker, Rolando Valdes Aguilar
Polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy was performed and analyzed from large, high quality, mono-domain single crystal of \alpha-RuCl3, a proximate Kitaev quantum spin liquid. Spectra were collected with laser polarizations parallel and perpendicular to

Topology, Landscapes, and Biomolecular Energy Transport

Justin E. Elenewski, Kirill Velizhanin, Michael P. Zwolak
While ubiquitous, energy redistribution remains a poorly understood facet of the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of biomolecules. At the molecular level, finite-size effects, pronounced nonlinearities, and ballistic processes conspire to produce behavior

Phonon Dispersion of Mo-stabilized -g-U measured using Inelastic X-ray Scattering

September 30, 2019

Z. E. Brubaker, Sheng NMN Ran, A. H. Said, M. E. Manley, P. Soderlind, D. Rosas, Y. Idell, R. J. Zieve, Nicholas Butch, J. R. Jeffries
We have measured the room-temperature phonon spectrum of Mo-stabilized γ−U. The dispersion curves show unusual softening near the H point, q=[1/2,1/2,1/2], which may derive from the metastability of the γ−U phase or from strong electron-phonon coupling

Anharmonic Acoustic Phonons and A-site Critical Fluctuations in the Lead Halide Perovskite CsPbBr 3

M. Songvilay, Nathan Giles-Donovan, M. Bari, Z.-G. Ye, J. L. Minns, M. A. Green, Guangyong Xu, Peter M. Gehring, K. Schmalzl, William D. Ratcliff, Craig Brown, D. Chernyshov, W. van Beek, Sandy Cochran, Christopher Stock
We apply neutron spectroscopy to investigate the transverse acoustic phonons in the lead halide CsPbBr 3 near the three zone boundaries of the cubic Pm3m Brillouin zone at QX = (2,1/2,0), Q M = (3/2,1/2,0), and Q R = (1/2,1/2,3/2). CsPbB r3 undergoes two

Arenholtz, Patrick Quarterman, Brian B. Maranville, S. Ono, M. Salah El Hadri, R. Tolley, E. E. Fullerton, L. Sanchez-Tejerina, A. Stashkevich, S. M. Cherif, A. D. Kent, D. Querlioz, J. Langer, B. Ocker, D. Ravelosona
The possibility to tune the Dzyaloshinskii Moriya interaction (DMI) by electric (E) field gating in ultra-thin magnetic materials has opened new perspectives in terms of controlling the stabilization of chiral spin structures. Most recent efforts have used

A compact, UHV ion source for enriching 28Si and depositing epitaxial thin films

Ke Tang, Hyun S. Kim, Aruna N. Ramanayaka, David S. Simons, Joshua M. Pomeroy
An ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) compatible Penning ion source for growing pure, highly enriched 28Si epitaxial thin films is presented. Enriched 28Si is a critical material for quantum information due to the elimination of nuclear spins and, in some cases, must
