Vertical Inhomogeneous Magnetic Order in FeRh Film

December 31, 2022
Author(s)
Sehwan Song, Jiwoong Kim, Jisung Lee, Hyegyeong Kim, Noboru Miyata, Neeraj Kumar, Y. Soh, Jae H. Jang, Chanyong Hwang, Brian Kirby, Sungkyun Park
FeRh films, known as antiferromagnetic material at low temperature, exhibit unexpected ferromagnetic (FM) characteristics, unlike bulk. Detailed temperature-dependent physical properties of FeRh film are examined to elucidate the causes. Temperature

Mechanism of Bismuth Stimulated Bottom-up Gold Feature Filling

December 30, 2022
Author(s)
Daniel Josell, Trevor Braun, Thomas P. Moffat
The mechanism that underlies 〖Bi〗^(3+)-stimulated extreme bottom-up Au filling of trenches and vias in slightly alkaline 〖Na〗_3 Au(〖SO〗_3 )_2+〖Na〗_2 〖SO〗_3 electrolytes is explored. The remarkable void-free feature filling and self-passivation behavior

Strain and Charge Contributions to the Magnetoelectric Coupling in Fe 3 O 4 /PMN-PT Artificial Multiferroic Heterostructures

Patrick Schoffmann, Anirban Sarkar, Mai H. Hamed, Tanvi Bhatnagar-Schoffmann, Sabine Putter, Brian Kirby, Alexander Grutter, Juri Barthel, Emmanuel Kentzinger, Annika Stellhorn, Andrei Gloskovskii, Martina Muller, Thomas Bruckel
The quest to realize new kinds of data storage devices has motivated recent studies in the field of magnetoelectric heterostructures. One of the most commonly investigated systems is Fe 3O 4/PMN-PT, however, the interplay between different coupling

Analysis of Strain Correction Procedures for Single Fiber Tensile Testing

December 29, 2022
Author(s)
Amy Engelbrecht-Wiggans, Amanda L. Forster
Accurate strain measurement for single fibers is critical for many engineering applications. Typically, the crosshead displacement is used to calculate strain when performing mechanical testing, however there are complicating factors: slack in the specimen

Symmetry-dependent ultrafast manipulation of nanoscale magnetic domains

December 23, 2022
Author(s)
Nanna Hagstrom, Rahul Jangid, F. N. U. Meera, Diego Turenne, Jeffrey Brock, Erik Lamb, Boyan Stoychev, Justine Schlappa, Natalia Gerasimova, Benjamin Van Kuiken, Rafael Gort, Laurent Mercadier, Loic Le Guyader, Andrey Samartsev, Andreas Scherz, Giuseppe Mercurio, Hermann Durr, Alexander Reid, Monika Arora, Hans Nembach, Justin Shaw, Emmanuelle Jal, Eric Fullerton, Mark Keller, Roopali Kukreja, Stefano Bonetti, Thomas J. Silva, Ezio Iacocca
Symmetry is a powerful concept in physics, but its applicability to far-from-equilibrium states is still being understood. Recent attention has focused on how far-from-equilibrium states lead to spontaneous symmetry breaking. Conversely, ultrafast optical

Probing Accelerated Salt-Induced Relaxation Dynamics of Laponite Suspensions Using X-Ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy Measurements and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

December 22, 2022
Author(s)
Sohaib Mohammed, Meishen Liu, Qingteng Zhang, Suresh Narayanan, Fan Zhang, Greeshma Gadikota
Linking the physics of the relaxation behavior of visco-elastic fluids as they form arrested gel states to the underlying nano-scale structure and energetic interactions is essential for developing predictive controls. In this study, laponite suspensions

The Impact of Carbon Nanotube Length and Diameter on their Global Alignment by Dead-End Filtration

December 22, 2022
Author(s)
Christopher Rust, Pavel Shapturenka, Manuel Spari, Andreas Bacher, Qihao Jin, Han Li, Markus Guttmann, Ming Zheng, Tehseen Adel, Angela R. Hight Walker, Jeffrey Fagan, Benjamin Flavel
Dead-end filtration on polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated polycarbonate track-etched membranes has proven to be an effective method to prepare macroscopically (3.8 cm²) aligned thin films from solution-based single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). However, to make

Crystallization Kinetics in an Immiscible Polyolefin Blend

December 12, 2022
Author(s)
Derek Huang, Anthony Kotula, Chad R. Snyder, Kalman Migler
Motivated by the problem of brittle mechanical behavior in recycled blends of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and isotactic polypropylene (iPP), we employ optical microscopy, rheo-Raman, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to measure the

2D honeycomb transformation into dodecagonal quasicrystals driven by electrostatic forces

December 7, 2022
Author(s)
Sebastian Schenk, Oliver Krahn, Eric J. Cockayne, Holger Meyerheim, Marc de Boissieu, Stefan Foerster, Wolf Widdra
Dodecagonal oxide quasicrystals are well established as examples of long range aperiodic order in two dimensions. However, despite investigations by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), low-energy electron microscopy

Vacancy-Driven Disorder and Elevated Dielectric Response in the Pyrochlore Pb 1.5 Nbd2^O 6.5

November 21, 2022
Author(s)
Uyen Dang, Jake O'Hara, Hayden Evans, Daniel Olds, Juan Chamorro, Daniel Hickox-Young, Geneva Laurita, Robin Macaluso
Lone-pair driven distortions are a hallmark of many technologically-important lead (Pb)-based materials. The role of Pb 2+ in polar perovskites is well understood and easily manipulated for applications in piezo- and ferroelectricity, but the control of

Aluminum Formate, Al(HCOO)3: An Earth-Abundant, Scalable, and Highly Selective Material for CO2 Capture
