Correspondence: Phantom Phonon Localization in Relaxors

December 5, 2017
Author(s)
Peter M. Gehring, Daniel E Parshall, Leland Weldon Harriger, Christopher Stock, Guangyong Xu, Xiaobing Li, Haosu Luo
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(Fe 1-xCu x) 2As 2 with transport, magnetic susceptibility, and elastic neutron scattering measurements. In the heavily Cu-doped regime where long-range stripe-type antiferromagnetic order in BaFe 2As 2 is suppressed, Ba(Fe 1-xCu

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

We present a phase diagram of rare-earth pyrochlore Yb 2Ti 2O 7 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

Nonreciprocal Magnons and Symmetry-Breaking in the Noncentrosymmetric Antiffomagnet

July 24, 2017

G. Gitgeatpong, Yang Zhao, P. Piyawongwatthana, Yiming Qiu, Leland Harriger, Nicholas Butch, T. J. Sato, K. Matan
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

Origin of Long Lifetime of Band-Edge Charge Carriers in organic-Inorganic Lead Iodide Perovskites

July 17, 2017
Author(s)
Tianran Chen, Wei-Liang Chen, Benjamin J. Foley, Jooseop Lee, Jacob P. C. Ruff, J. Y. Peter Ko, Craig Brown, Leland Harriger, Depei Zhang, Changwon Park, Mina Yoon, Yu-Ming Chang, Joshua J. Choi, Seung-Hun Lee
Long carrier lifetime is what makes hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) high performance photovoltaic materials. The microscopic mechanism behind the unusually long carrier lifetime of greater than equal to} 1 υs is not well understood. Here we

Gapped Excitation in Dense Kondo Lattice CePtZn

January 10, 2017
Author(s)
Leland Weldon Harriger, Steven M.T. Disseler, J. Gunasekera, Jose A. Rodriguez, J. Pixley, P. Manfrinetti, S. K. Dhar, D. K. Singh
We report on neutron υSR scattering studies of dense Kondo lattice CePtZn. The system develops long range incommensurate magnetic order as the temperature is reduced below T N = 1.75 K. Interesting, a Q-indpenedent characteristic and its persistence to

Intermediate Regime between Metal and Superconductor Below T = 100 K in NiSi

November 28, 2016
Author(s)
Ashutosh Dahal, Jagath Gunasekera, Leland Harriger, S. H. Lee, Y. S. Hor, David J. Singh, Deepak K. Singh
Magnetic response of a metal to an external magnetic field is termed as paramagnetic or diamagnetic, depending on the parallel or antiparallel alignment of electron's moment to the applied field, respectively. 1-3 It remains independent of temperature of

Distinct Magnetic Spectra in the Hidden Order and Antiferromagnetic Phases in URu 2-x Fe x Si 2

November 7, 2016
Author(s)
Nicholas P. Butch, Sheng Ran, Inho Jeon, Noravee Kanchanavatee, Kevin Huang, Alexander Breindel, M. Brian Maple, Ryan L. Stillwell, Yang Zhao, Leland Weldon Harriger, Jeffrey W. Lynn
We use neutron scattering to compare the magnetic excitations in the hidden order (HO) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) phases in URu 2-xFe xFe xSi 2 as a function of Fe concentration. The magnetic excitation spectra change significantly between x=0.05 and x=0

Entropy-Driven Structural Transition and Kinetic Trapping in Formamidinium Lead Iodide Perovskite

Tianran Chen, Benjamin J. Foley, Changwon Park, Craig Brown, Leland Harriger, Jooseop Lee, Jacob Ruff, Mina Yoon, Joshua J. Choi, Seugn-Hun Lee
A challenge for hybrid perovskite solar cells is device instability, which calls for understanding of the perovskite structural stability and phase transitions. Here, using neutron diffraction and ab-initio calculations on HC(NH 2) 2PbI 3, we show that the

Electronic Nature of the Lock-in Magnetic Transition in CeXAl 4 Si 2

J. Gunasekera, Leland Harriger, A. Dahal, A. Maurya, T.W. Heitmann, Steven M.T. Disseler, A. Thamizhavel, S. Dhar, D. J. Singh, D. K. Singh
We have investigated the underlying magnetism in newly discovered single crystal Kondo lattices CeXAl 4Si 2, where X = Rh, Ir. We show that the compound undergoes an incommensurate-to- commensurate magnetic transition at Tc = 9.19 K (10.75 K in Ir). The
