The electronic instabilities in CsV3Sb5 are believed to originate from the V 3d-electrons on the kagome plane, however the role of Sb 5p-electrons for 3-dimensional orders is largely unexplored.
– 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
Scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt and nickel, or CrCoNi.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers serendipitously discovered when they automated the beam of an electron microscope to precisely drill holes in the atomically thin lattice of graphene, the drilled holes closed up.
While studying how bio-inspired materials might inform the design of next-generation computers, scientists at ORNL achieved a first-of-its-kind result that could have big implications for both edge computing and human health.
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.
