– Materials in which you can manipulate the proportion of oxide ions are considered good candidates for the development of devices that employ ionotronics (powerful tools and methods for narrowing the gap between conventional electronics and biological
Understanding the effects of electronic frustration on the kagome lattice is a very active area in correlated materials physics.
First inelastic neutron scattering measurements of phason mean free paths (or lifetimes) in conjunction with phonon and thermal conductivity measurements, establish that phasons make the major contribution to the thermal conductivity of fresnoite at roo
Our investigations on bulk CrCl3 phonons suggest that in-plane spins are essential but specific spin configurations do not matter, which provides insights into recent magnetic-field-dependent thermal transport measurements.
Magnetic skyrmions are topologically-nontrivial spin textures with potentially transformative applications in quantum computing and information storage. Skyrmions usually occur in crystals without a center of inversion symmetry.
The kagome net made of corner sharing triangles has long been studied as a source of magnetic frustration. More recently, interest has risen in the role of this frustrated geometry on electronic properties.
Magnons in a honeycomb-lattice ferromagnet have an analogous description to the single-orbital tight-binding model for electrons in graphene.
2D verbeekite, the monoclinic phase of PdSe2, was directly synthesized under the Se deficient condition using an ambient-pressure chemical vapor deposition method.
Molten salts attract resurgent attention because of their unique physiochemical properties, making them promising media for next generation concentrating solar power systems and molten salt reactors, but many fundamental questions remain unanswered.
New computational architectures based on topological materials have been proposed that could be faster with simultaneously lower energy consumption.
