Topological Phase Transition and Charge-Spin Coupling in the Kagome Metal YMn 6 Sn 6

March 15, 2022
Author(s)
Peter E. Siegfried, Hari Bhandari, David C. Jones, Madhav P. Ghimire, Rebecca Dally, Lekh Poudel, Markus Bleuel, Jeffrey Lynn, Igor I. Mazin, Nirmal J. Ghimire
The Fermi surface (FS) is essential for understanding the properties of metals. It can change under both conventional symmetry-breaking phase transitions and Lifshitz transitions (LTs), where the FS, but not the crystal symmetry, changes abruptly. Magnetic

Water Migration and Swelling in Engineered Barrier Materials for Radioactive Waste Disposal

January 25, 2021
Author(s)
Joanna McFarlane, Lawrence M Anovitz, Michael C. Cheshire, Victoria H. DiStefano, Hassina Z. Bilheux, Jean-Christophe Bilheux, Luke L. Daemen, Richard E. Hale, Ronald L. Howard, A. J. Ramirez-Cuesta, Louis J. Santodonato, Markus Bleuel, Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Jacob LaManna, Edmund Perfect, Logan Qualls
Deep underground repositories are needed to isolate radioactive waste from the biosphere. Bentonite is an integral component of many multibarrier repository systems. Information on the hydraulic behavior of bentonite is needed for modeling the long-term

Magnetic Phase Transitions and Spin Density Distribution in the Molecular Multiferroic System GaV 4 S 8

July 6, 2020
Author(s)
Rebecca Dally, William Ratcliff, Lunyong Zhang, Heung-Sik Kim, Markus Bleuel, J. W. Kim, Kristjan Haule, David Vanderbilt, Sang-Wook Cheong, Jeffrey Lynn
We have carried out neutron diffraction and small angle neutron scattering measurements on a high quality single crystal of the cubic lacunar spinel multiferroic, GaV 4S 8, as a function of magnetic field and temperature to determine the magnetic form

Cobalt Ferrite Nanoparticle Intercalated Carbon Nanotubes for a Nanomagnetic Ultrasensitive Sensor for Cr-VI in Water

June 24, 2020
Author(s)
Tassew Mekuria, Syed Khalid, Kathryn L. Krycka, Markus Bleuel, Himanshu Verma, Haiping Hong, Shashi P. Karna, Dereje Seifu
Nanocomposites of cobalt ferrite (CFO) magnetic nanoparticles intercalated on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are evaluated as a nanomagnetic ultrasensitive sensor for the environmental toxin, hexavalent chromium (Cr-VI). Specifically, the structural and magnetic

Sub-Millisecond Time-Resolved Small-Angle Neutron Scattering Measurements at NIST

June 3, 2020
Author(s)
Charles J. Glinka, Markus NMN Bleuel, Peter NMN Tsai, Dominika Zakutna, Dirk Honecker, Dominique Dresen, Flore Mees, Sabrina Disch
Instrumentation for sub-millisecond time-resolved SANS measurements at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is described and applied to the reorientation dynamics of elongated hematite nanoparticles. Instrumentation for time-resolved

Effect of Flexibility and Nanotriboelectrification on the Dynamic Reversibility of Water Intrusion into Nanopores: Pressure-Transmitting Fluid with Frequency-Depending Dissipation Capability

October 30, 2019
Author(s)
Alexander Lowe, Nikolay Tsyrin, Miroslaw Chorazewski, Pawel Zajdel, Michal Mierzwa, Juscelino Leao, Markus Bleuel, Tong Feng, Dong Luo, Mian Li, Dan Li, Victor Stoudenets, Sebastian Pawlus, Abdessamad Faik, Yaroslav Grosu
In this work the effect of a porous material´s flexibility on the dynamic reversibility of a non-wetting liquid intrusion was explored experimentally. For this purpose, high-pressure water intrusion together with high-pressure in-situ small angle neutron

Deformation of the Moving Magnetic Skyrmion Lattice in MnSi under Electric Current Flow

July 11, 2019
Author(s)
D. Okuyama, Markus Bleuel, J. S. White, Qiang Ye, Jeffery R Krzywon, G. Nagy, Z. Q. Im, I. Zivkovic, M. Bartkowiak, H. M. Ronnow, S. Hoshino, J. Iwasaki, N. Nagaosa, A. Kikkawa, Y. Taguchi, Y. Tokura, D. Higashi, J. D. Reim, Y. Nambu, T. J. Sato
Topological defects are found ubiquitously in various kinds of matter, such as vortices in type-II superconductors, and magnetic skyrmions in chiral ferromagnets. While knowledge on the static behavior of magnetic skyrmions is accumulating steadily, their

Lower critical solution temperature in polyelectrolyte coacervates

February 26, 2019
Author(s)
Samim Ali, Markus Bleuel, Vivek Prabhu
Model linear oppositely-charged polyelectrolyte complexes exhibit a lower critical solution temperature. The coexist-ence curves narrow with increasing monovalent salt concentration (Cs) that lowers the polymer concentration (Cp) in the polymer-rich phase

Solvent-Pore Interactions in the Easgle Ford Shale Formation

February 15, 2019
Author(s)
Victoria H. DiStefano, Joanna McFarlane, Andrew G. Stack, Edmund Perfect, David F. Mildner, Markus Bleuel, Steve J. Chipera, Kenneth C. Littrell, Michael C. Cheshire, Katherine E. Manz, Lawrence M Anovitz
The effect of solvent extraction on pore space was examined on a suite of samples from the Eagle Ford Shale Formation with varying lithologies and maturities. Several solvents were contacted with shales, extracting the compatible organic matter. The

Boehmite and Gibbsite Nanoplates for the Synthesis of Advanced Alumina Products

December 28, 2018

Xin Zhang, Patricia L. Huestis, Carolyn I. Pearce, Jian Zhi Hu, Katharine Page, Lawrence M Anovitz, Alexandr B. Aleksandrov, Micah P. Prange, Sebastien Kerisit, Mark E. Bowden, Wenwen Cui, Zheming Wang, Nicholas R. Jaegers, Trent R. Graham, Mateusz Dembowski, Hsiu-Wen Wang, Jue Liu, Alpha T. N'Diaye, Markus Bleuel, David F. Mildner, Thomas M. Orlando, Greg A. Kimmel, Jay A. La Verne, Sue B. Clark, Kevin M. Rosso
Boehmite (γ-AlOOH) and gibbsite (α-A;(OH) 3) are important archetype (oxy)hydroxides of aluminum in nature that also play diverse roles across a plethora of industrial applications. As a consequence, highly precise synthesis of these pure phases with
