Dynamics of Molecular Associates in Methanol/Water Mixtures

January 26, 2022
Author(s)
Yanqin Zhai, Peng Luo, Jackson Waller, Jeffrey L. Self, Leland Harriger, Y. Z., Antonio Faraone
The dynamics of molecular associates in methanol/water mixtures was investigated using quasielastic neutron scattering. By measuring the signal from four methanol/water samples differing only by their isotopic composition, the relative motion of the water

Binod K. Rai, Iain W. H. Oswald, Wenjing Ban, C.-L. Huang, V. Loganathan, A. M. Hallas, M. N. Wilson, G. M. Luke, Leland Harriger, Qingzhen Huang, Y. Li, Sami Dzsaber, Julia Y. Chan, N. L. Wang, Silke Paschen, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Andriy H. Nevidomskyy, Pengcheng Dai, Q. Si, E. Morosan
Known low carrier Kondo systems evolve from metallic non-magnetic analogues, while a recent theoretical model for the dilute carrier Kondo limit predicts semimetallic behavior. Very few 4f low carrier Kondo systems have been reported, mostly based on Ce

Although the precise mechanism is under, unconventional superconductivity (SC) is linked to the pairing of electrons by itinerant antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin fluctuations. Thus, unconventional SC often develops in magnetic metals on the cusp of static AFM

Manley et al. (Ref. [1]) report the observation of an unexpected, weak, phonon mode located in energy between that of the transverse acoustic (TA) and soft transverse optic (TO) modes in the relaxor ferroelectric Pb[(Mg0.33Nb0.67)1-xTix]O3 (PMN-xPT) with

Local Breaking of Fourfold Rotational Symmetry by Short-Range Magnetic Order in Heavily Overdoped Ba(Fe 1-x Cu x ) 2 As 2

Weiyi Wang, Yu Song, Ding Hu, Yu Li, Rui Zhang, Leland Harriger, Wei Tian, Huibo Cao, Pengcheng Dai
We investigate Cu-doped Ba(Fe1-xCux)2As2 with transport, magnetic susceptibility, and elastic neutron scattering measurements. In the heavily Cu-doped regime where long-range stripe-type antiferromagnetic order in BaFe2As2 is suppressed, Ba(Fe1-xCux)2As2

Reentrant Phase Diagram of Yb 2 Ti 2 O 7 in a [111] Magnetic Field

We present a phase diagram of rare-earth pyrochlore Yb2Ti2O7 in a (111) magnetic field. Using heat capacity, magnetization, and neutron scattering data, we show an unusual field-dependence of a first-order phase boundary, wherein a small applied field

Magnons, the spin-wave quanta, are disturbances that embody a wave propagating through a back-ground medium formed by ordered magnetic moments. In an isotropic Heisenberg system, these disturbances vary in a continuous manner around an ordered spin

When the energy eigenvalues of two coupled quantum states approach each other in a certain parameter space, their energy levels repel each other and level crossing is avoided. Such level repulsion, or avoided level crossing, is commonly used to describe
