Magneto-optical study of metamagnetic transitions in the antiferromagnetic phase of alpha-RuCl3

Zhe Wang

alpha-RuCl3 is a promising candidate material to realize the so far elusive quantum spin liquid ground state. However, at low temperatures, the coexistence of different exchange interactions couple the effective pseudospins into an antiferromagnetically zi ...

Structural Disorder and Magnetic Order in Atomically Thin Crystals

Michele Pizzochero

This Thesis is mainly devoted to the exploration of the structural disorder and magnetic order in two-dimensional crystals by means of first-principles methodologies. Firstly, we present a comparative study of defect formation in the semiconducting 2H and ...

Electronic localization in CaVO3 films via bandwidth control

Thorsten Schmitt, Vladimir N. Strocov, Xingye Lu, Sophie Beck

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 ...

X-ray absorption linear dichroism at the Ti K edge of anatase TiO2 single crystals

Majed Chergui, Oliviero Cannelli, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Dominik Kinschel, Jérémy Raymond Jean Maurice Rouxel

Anatase TiO2 (a-TiO2) exhibits a strong x-ray absorption linear dichroism in the pre-edge, the XANES and the EXAFS at the titanium K edge. In the pre-edge region, the behavior of the A1-A3 and B peaks originating from the 1s - 3d transitions is due to the ...
