Structural Disorder and Magnetic Order in Atomically Thin Crystals

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 ...

Structural characterization and magnetic properties of chromium jarosite KCr3(OD)(6)(SO4)(2)

Sofie Janas

Potassium chromium jarosite, KCr3(OH)(6)(SO4)(2) (Cr-jarosite), is considered a promising candidate to display spin liquid behavior due to the strong magnetic frustration imposed by the crystal structure. However, the ground state magnetic properties have ...

Low-temperature monoclinic layer stacking in atomically thin CrI3 crystals

Marco Gibertini, Zhe Wang

Chromium triiodide, CrI3, is emerging as a promising magnetic two-dimensional semiconductor where spins are ferromagnetically aligned within a single layer. Potential applications in spintronics arise from an antiferromagnetic ordering between adjacent lay ...

Melting of a skyrmion lattice to a skyrmion liquid via a hexatic phase

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Marco Cantoni, Fabrizio Carbone, Ping Huang, Thomas Schönenberger

While in 3D materials melting is a single, first-order phase transition, in 2D systems, it can also proceed via an intermediate phase. For a skyrmion lattice in Cu2OSeO3, magnetic field variations can tune this quasiparticle 2D solid into a skyrmion liquid ...

Floating, critical, and dimerized phases in a frustrated spin-3/2 chain

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

We study spontaneous dimerization and emergent criticality in a spin-3/2 chain with antiferromagnetic nearestneighbor J(1), next-nearest-neighbor J(2), and three-site J(3) interactions. In the absence of three-site interaction J(3), we provide evidence tha ...

Investigation of the order -disorder phase transition series in AuCu by in-situ temperature XRD and mechanical spectroscopy

Daniele Mari

In-situ temperature XRD and mechanical spectroscopy were applied to study phase transitions in AuCu alloy from the disordered FCC state (A1). The phase transition temperature intervals were investigated upon heating and cooling using a rate of 1 K/min in o ...

Determining the Optimal Phase-Change Material via High-Throughput Calculations

Amina Matt

The discovery and optimization of phase-change and shape memory alloys remain a tedious and expensive process. Here a simple computational method is proposed to determine the ideal phase- change material for a given alloy composed of three elements. Using ...

Reentrant magnetism at the borderline between long-range antiferromagnetic order and spin-glass behavior in the B-site disordered perovskite system Ca2-x SrxFeRuO6

Philip Pattison

We report on the coexistence of magnetic order and disorder in the atomically disordered double perovskites Ca2FeRuO6 and CaSrFeRuO6. Powder x-ray and neutron diffraction were used to investigate the crystal structure and magnetic ordering of these oxides. ...

Lattice-mediated magnetic order melting in TbMnO3

Fabrizio Carbone, Edoardo Baldini

Recent ultrafast magnetic-sensitive measurements [Johnson et al., Phys. Rev. B 92, 184429 (2015); Bothschafter et al., Phys. Rev. B 96, 184414 (2017)] have revealed a delayed melting of the long-range cycloid spin order in TbMnO 3 following photoexcitation ...
