Photoinduced long-lived state in FeSe0.4Te0.6

Fe(Sex)Te(1-)x compounds display a rich phase diagram, ranging from the nematicity of FeSe to the (pi, pi) magnetism of FeTe. We focus on FeSe0.4Te0.6, and exploit tr-ARPES to study its ultrafast electron dynamics following photoexcitation by near-infrared ...

Control of a polar order via magnetic field in a vector-chiral magnet

Helmuth Berger

Vector-chiral (VC) antiferromagnetism is a spiral-like ordering of spins which may allow ferroelectricity to occur due to loss of space inversion symmetry. In this Letter we report direct experimental observation of ferroelectricity in the VC phase of beta ...

Broken-Symmetry Ground States of the Heisenberg Model on the Pyrochlore Lattice

Giuseppe Carleo, Ao Chen

The spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on the pyrochlore lattice is an iconic frustrated three-dimensional spin system with a rich phase diagram. Besides hosting several ordered phases, the model is debated to possess a spin-liquid ground state when only nearest-ne ...

Fokker-Planck-Poisson kinetics: Multi-phase flow beyond equilibrium

Mohsen Sadr

Multi-phase phenomena remain at the heart of many challenging fluid dynamics problems. Molecular fluxes at the interface determine the fate of neighboring phases, yet their closure far from the continuum needs to be modeled. Along the hierarchy of kinetic ...

Investigation of femtosecond laser-tuned thermomechanical properties of fused silica

Pieter Vlugter

The thermomechanical properties of materials are among the most important properties for designing precision instruments, in particular for devices seeking high-dimensional stability, invariant temperature-elastic properties or low thermoelastic losses. De ...

Multiple-q noncollinear magnetism in an itinerant hexagonal magnet

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Jonathan White

Multiple-q spin order, i.e., a spin texture characterized by a multiple number of coexisting magnetic modulation vectors q, has recently attracted attention as a source of nontrivial magnetic topology and associated emergent phenomena. One typical example ...

Evolution of 3-D Transport Pathways and Triple-Phase Boundaries in the Ni-YSZ Hydrogen Electrode upon Fuel Cell or Electrolysis Cell Operation

Jan Van Herle, Marco Cantoni, Arata Nakajo, Pierre Burdet

The degradation of the Ni-YSZ electrode was investigated after SOFC or SOEC operation for up to 4,700 h and 10,700 h, respectively. 3-D FIB-SEM serial sectioning combined with 3-D EDS elemental mapping allowed the measurement of structural, material and el ...

Magnetic anisotropy in the frustrated spin-chain compound beta-TeVO4

Helmuth Berger

Isotropic and anisotropic magnetic behavior of the frustrated spin-chain compound beta-TeVO4 is reported. Three magnetic transitions observed in zero magnetic field are tracked in fields applied along different crystallographic directions using magnetizati ...

Huge critical current density and tailored superconducting anisotropy in SmFeAsO0.8F0.15 by low-density columnar-defect incorporation

Janusz Andrzej Karpinski, Sergiy Katrych, Yihan Jia

Iron-based superconductors could be useful for electricity distribution and superconducting magnet applications because of their relatively high critical current densities and upper critical fields. SmFeAsO0.8F0.15 is of particular interest as it has the h ...

Chains of mean-field models

Rüdiger Urbanke, Nicolas Macris, Seyed Hamed Hassani

We consider a collection of Curie-Weiss (CW) spin systems, possibly with a random field, each of which is placed along the positions of a one-dimensional chain. The CW systems are coupled together by a Kac-type interaction in the longitudinal direction of ...
