The quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect is characterized by a dissipationless chiral edge state with a quantized Hall resistance at zero magnetic field. Manipulating the QAH state is of great importance in both the understanding of topological quantum

Hybrid lead halide perovskites (LHPs) are a class of semiconductor with novel physical properties and impressive optoelectronic performance that are distinctively governed by structural fluctuations. [1, 2] Diffraction experiments sensitive to average

We demonstrate a THz imaging system using chirped pulses to acquire amplitude and phase information of various samples, enabling hyperspectral imaging and axial optical path delay determination approximately 50x better than the diffraction limited lateral

TbMn 6Sn 6 is a topological ferrimagnet where the uniaxial anisotropy of the Tb 3+ ion generates out-of-plane magnetization of the ferromagnetic Mn kagome layer, resulting in the emergence of a two-dimensional Chern state. TbMn 6Sn 6 is also known to

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected chiral spin structures which present opportunities for next-generation magnetic data storage and logic information technologies. The topology of these structures originates in the geometric configuration of

We are beginning projects to validate the physics models used for interpretation of electron microscopy images. In one, we will measure electron yields and energy spectra from cleaned well-characterized samples subjected to electron bombardment inside of a

Recently a new class of quantum magnets, the so-called breathing pyrochlore systems, have attracted much attention due to their potential to host exotic emergent phenomena. Here, we present magnetometry, thermal, muon-spin relaxation, and polarized

We describe an experimental scheme for sensitive pump-probe spectral interferometry measurements at long time delays using two Michelson interferometers. It has practical advantages over the Sagnac interferometer method typically used when long time delays

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) semiconductors exhibit strong excitonic optical resonances which serve as a microscopic, non-invasive probe into their fundamental properties. Like the hydrogen atom, such excitons can exhibit an entire

Long viewed as passive elements, antiferromagnetic materials emerged as promising candidates for spintronic devices due to their insensitivity to external fields and potential for high-speed switching. Recent work in spin orbitronics has identified ways to

Studies of ferromagnet-superconductor hybrid systems have uncovered magnetic interactions between the competing electronic orderings. The Electromagnetic Proximity Effect predicts the formation of a spontaneous vector potential inside a superconductor

We describe a two-dimensional optical lattice for ultracold atoms with spatial structure below the diffraction limit created by a bichromatic optical standing wave. At every point in space these fields couple the internal atomic states in a three-level

We report the magnetic and electronic transport properties of the inversion and time-reversal symmetry breaking Weyl semimetal NdAlGe. This material is analogous to NdAlSi whose helicalmagnetism is a rare example of a Weyl-mediated collective phenomenon

The magnetism of the rock-salt fcc rare-earth monopnictide HoBi, a candidate topological material with extreme magnetoresistance, is investigated. From the Ho3+ non-Kramers J=8 spin-orbital multiplet, the cubic crystal electric field yields six near
