In situ control of the helical and skyrmion phases in Cu2OSeO3 using high-pressure helium gas up to 5 kbar

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Ivica Zivkovic, Jonathan White

We report a small-angle neutron scattering study of the helical and skyrmion lattice order in single-crystal Cu2OSeO3 under quasihydrostatic helium gas pressures up to 5 kbar. By using helium gas as the pressure-transmitting medium (PTM) we ensure pressure ...

Runaway electron modelling in the self-consistent core European Transport Simulator

Joan Decker, Gergely Papp

Relativistic runaway electrons are a major concern in tokamaks. Although significant theoretical development had been undertaken in recent decades, we still lack a self-consistent simulator that could simultaneously capture all aspects of this phenomenon. ...
