Gold and platinum have the face-centered-cubic crystal structure, are considered noble metals, and differ by one in atomic number. Near-edge M4,5 x-ray absorption and resonant M4,5N6,7N6,7 Auger spectroscopy reveal "dark" edges and a photon-energy

Previous high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) studies of URu 2Si 2 have characterized the temperature-dependent behavior of narrow-band states close to the Fermi level (E F) at low photon energies near the zone center, with an emphasis on

The emergence of interference is observed in the resistance of a graphene annulus pn junction device as a result of applying two separate gate voltages. The observed resistance patterns are carefully inspected, and it is determined that the position of the

Stacking variations in quasi-two-dimensional materials can have an important influence on material properties, such as changing the topology of the band structure. Unfortunately, the weakness of van der Waals interactions makes it difficult to compute the

A photoemission electron microscope (PEEM) was recently commissioned at the NIST. To benchmark its capabilities, epitaxial graphene on 4H-SiC (0001) was imaged and analyzed in the PEEM and compared to other complementary imaging techniques. We determine

Reentrance is a recurring theme found in a variety of physical systems, including spin glasses and black hole thermodynamics, yet the underlying microscopic mechanisms leading to it are rarely investigated in detail. Here we provide a detailed

The Mott-insulating rare-earth titanates (RTiO 3, R being a rare-earth ion) are an important class of materials that encompasses interesting spin-orbital phases, ferromagnet-antiferromagnet and insulator-metal transitions. The growth of these materials has

In the lacunar spinel GaV 4S 8, the interplay of spin, charge, and orbital degrees of freedom produces a rich phase diagram that includes an unusual Neel-type skyrmion phase composed of molecular spins. To provide ´ insight into the interactions underlying

Qubits made from superconducting materials are a mature platform for quantum information science application such as quantum computing. However, materials-based losses are now a limiting factor in reaching the coherence times needed for applications. In
A magnetic monopole in spin ice is a novel quasiparticle excitation in condensed matter physics, and we found that the AC frequency dependent magnetic susceptibility X(ω) in the two-dimensional (2D) spin ice (so-called kagome ice) of Dy 2Ti 2O 7 shows a

External luminescence quantum yields of subcells within several multijunction solar cells were measured using a calibrated hyperspectral imaging system in electroluminescence mode. The measurements allowed direct comparison of subcell device parameters

We report spin-to-charge and charge-to-spin conversion at room temperature in heterostructure devices that interface an archetypal Dirac semimetal, Cd 3As 2, with a metallic ferromagnet,Ni 0.80Fe 0.20 (permalloy). The spin-charge interconversion is

Crystallographic defects can now be routinely imaged at atomic resolution with aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) at high speed, with the potential for vast volumes of data to be acquired in relatively short times, or
For the past two and a half decades, anomalous heating of trapped ions from nearby electrode surfaces has continued to demonstrate unexpected results. Caused by electric-field noise, this heating of the ions' motional modes remains an obstacle for scalable

We report the low temperature magnetic properties of Nd 3+ pyrochlore Nd 2ScNbO 7. Susceptibility and magnetization show an easy-axis moment, and heat capacity reveals a phase transition to long range order at T N = 370 mK with a fully recovered Δ}S = Rln

Quantum transport simulations are rapidly evolving, including the development of well–controlled tensor network techniques for many– body transport calculations. One particularly powerful approach combines matrix product states with extended reservoirs —
The charge-transfer (CT) state arising as a hybrid electronic state at the interface between charge donor and charge acceptor molecular units is important to a wide variety of physical processes in organic semiconductor devices. The exact nature of this

The anomalous Hall, Nernst and thermal Hall coefficients of the itinerant ferromagnet Fe 3−xGeTe 2 display several features upon cooling, like a reversal in the Nernst signal below T = 50 K pointing to a topological transition possibly associated to the
In recent years, MnFePGe magnetocaloric materials have been widely studied as promising candidates for magnetic refrigeration materials. The Curie temperatures of MnFePGe can be adjusted to around room temperature by changing the element ratio or doping

Quantum transport simulations require a level of discretization, often achieved through an explicit representation of the electronic reservoirs. These representations should converge to the same continuum limit, though there is a trade-off between a given

The magnetic ground state and the crystalline electric field level scheme of the triangular lattice antiferromagnet KCeO 2are investigated. Below T N = 300 mK, KCeO 2 develops signatures of magnetic order in specific heat measurements and low energy
