We present a high magnetic field study of NbP—a member of the monopnictide Weyl semimetal (WSM) family. While the monoarsenides (NbAs and TaAs) have topologically distinct left and right-handed Weyl fermi surfaces, NbP is argued to be “topologically trivia ...
Some oxygen defective metal oxides, such as cerium and bismuth oxides, have recently shown exceptional electrostrictive properties that are even superior to the best performing lead-based electrostrictors, e.g. lead-magnesium-niobates (PMN). Compared to pi ...
Knowledge of the atomic-level structure is key to understanding and predicting properties of materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is the methods of choice for structures containing well-defined long-range order. However, many materials contain various degree ...
Quantum states cohere and interfere. Atoms arranged imperfectly in a solid rarely display these properties. Here we demonstrate an exception in a disordered quantum magnet that divides itself into nearly isolated subsystems. We probe these coherent spin cl ...
Mo8O23 is a low-dimensional chemically robust transition metal oxide coming from a prospective family of functional materials, MoO3-x, ranging from a wide gap insulator (x = 0) to a metal (x = 1). The large number of stoichometric compounds with intermedia ...
Understanding and controlling the electronic structure of thin layers of quantum materials is a crucial first step towards designing heterostructures where new phases and phenomena, including the metal-insulator transition (MIT), emerge. Here, we demonstra ...
This study examines the effect of Ni migration near the interface with the electrolyte after fuel cell (SOFC) and electrolysis mode (SOEC) operation on nickel-yttria stabilized zirconia (Ni-YSZ) electrodes. The experimental dataset consists in a series of ...
Random alloys are multicomponent systems where the atomic type on each lattice site is independent of the atom types on any other lattice site. The fluctuations in local atomic configurations inherent to the random alloy prevents the accurate application o ...
A fundamental part of the puzzle of unconventional superconductivity in the Fe-based superconductors is the understanding of the magnetic and nematic instabilities of the parent compounds. The issues of which of these can be considered the leading instabil ...
The utilization of subwavelength resonators, such as small electric dipoles, plasmonic resonators, or objects made of materials with a high dielectric constant, has enabled the manipulation of electromagnetic fields down to the subwavelength regime with sy ...
