A new platform is theoretically proposed to create Majorana bound states (MBSs) based on a planar Josephson junction (JJ) coupled with a spontaneously formed crystal of magnetic skyrmions forming a triangular lattice.
Researchers discovered a correlated Dirac semi-metallic phase in symmetry modified SrNbO3 thin films.
Researchers showed that dual-function intermetallic nanoprecipitates simultaneously enhanced strength and ductility of medium-entropy alloys via synergistic spatial confinement effects on two distinct deformation mechanisms: precipitation
Fractional-excitation-phonon coupling in α-RuCl3 is observed, validating phonons as a sensitive probe of hidden fractional and non-local excitations, experimentally confirming the theoretically predicted coupling and providing the key information
Scientists demonstrated switching between topological and magnetic ground states by controlling the concentration of magnetic defects in a crystal.
Electrides are an unusual family of materials that feature loosely bonded electrons that occupy special interstitial sites and serve as anions.
Neutron scattering and atomic dynamics simulations reveal that complex crystals can conduct heat like a glass through diffusive quantum hopping. The revealed strategies will enable the down-tuning
Through computer simulations of a microscopic model for a skyrmion crystal, theoreticians discovered an unexpectedly complex spin dynamics stabilized by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Understanding spin dynamics is of fundamental importance to
