Transport properties of a quasi-two-dimensional electron system formed in LaAlO3/EuTiO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures

We study the structural, magnetic, and transport properties of LaAlO3/EuTiO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures grown by pulsed laser deposition. The samples are characterized in situ by electron diffraction and scanning probe microscopy and ex situ by transport meas ...

Critical scaling in the cubic helimagnet Cu2OSeO3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Ivica Zivkovic, Helmuth Berger, Jonathan White, Krunoslav Prsa

We present a detailed ac susceptibility investigation of the fluctuation regime in the insulating cubic helimagnet Cu2OSeO3. For magnetic fields mu H-0 >= 200 mT, and over a wide temperature (T) range, the system behaves according to the scaling relations ...

Magnetic entropy landscape and Gruneisen parameter of a quantum spin ladder

Pierre Bouillot, Daniel Biner

We present measurements of the magnetic entropy landscape and Gruneisen parameter of the Cu2+ complex (C5H12N)(2)CuCl4 in a magnetic field. Our thermodynamic measurements are in very good agreement with a theoretical description by a S = 1/2 Heisenberg lad ...

Length scales and self-organization in dense suspension flows

Matthieu Wyart

Dense non-Brownian suspension flows of hard particles display mystifying properties: As the jamming threshold is approached, the viscosity diverges, as well as a length scale that can be identified from velocity correlations. To unravel the microscopic mec ...

Solid Solutions of Lead Metaniobate-Stabilization of the Ferroelectric Polymorph and the Effect on the Lattice Parameters, Dielectric, Ferroelectric, and Piezoelectric Properties

Nava Setter, Dragan Damjanovic, Alberto Biancoli, Barbara Maraston Fraygola, Mtabazi Geofrey Sahini

Ferroelectric orthorhombic lead metaniobate (PbNb2O6) is known to be metastable with respect to the thermodynamically stable nonferroelectric rhombohedral polymorph. The high-temperature tetragonal to low temperature rhombohedral phase transition is recons ...

Nonlinear Midinfrared Photothermal Spectroscopy Using Zharov Splitting and Quantum Cascade Lasers

Hatice Altug, Shyamsunder Erramilli, Mi Kyung Hong

We report on the Mid-infrared nonlinear photothermal spectrum of the neat liquid crystal 4-octyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) using a tunable Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL). The nonequilibrium steady state characterized by the nonlinear photothermal infrared respon ...

Theory of percolation and tunneling regimes in nanogranular metal films

Claudio Grimaldi

Nanogranular metal composites, consisting of immiscible metallic and insulating phases deposited on a substrate, are characterized by two distinct electronic transport regimes depending on the relative amount of the metallic phase. At sufficiently large me ...

Mapping environmental partitioning properties of nonpolar complex mixtures by use of GCxGC

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Jonas Gros, Petros Dimitriou Christidis, Deedar Nabi

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC) is effective for separating and quantifying nonpolar organic chemicals in complex mixtures. Here we present a model to estimate 11 environmental partitioning properties for nonpolar analytes based ...

Semiclassical evidence of columnar order in the fully frustrated transverse-field Ising model on the square lattice

Frédéric Mila, Tommaso Coletta

We investigate the zero-temperature phase diagram of the fully frustrated transverse-field Ising model on the square lattice both in the classical limit and in the presence of quantum fluctuations. At the classical level (the limit of infinite spin S), we ...

Superconductivity-Induced Transparency in Terahertz Metamaterials

Odeta Limaj

A plasmonic analogue of electromagnetically induced transparancy is activated and tuned in the terahertz (THz) range in asymmetric metamaterials fabricated from high critical temperature (T-c) superconductor thin films. The asymmetric design provides a nea ...
