Effect of oxygen defects blocking barriers on gadolinium doped ceria (GDC) electro-chemo-mechanical properties

Some oxygen defective metal oxides, such as cerium and bismuth oxides, have recently shown exceptional electrostrictive properties that are even superior to the best performing lead-based electrostrictors, e.g. lead-magnesium-niobates (PMN). Compared to pi ...

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 ...

Revising the common understanding of metamagnetism in the molecule-based bisdithiazolyl BDTMe compound

Sergio Vela Llausi

The BDTMe molecule-based material is the first example of a thiazyl radical to exhibit metamagnetic behavior. Contrary to the common idea that metamagnetism occurs in low-dimensional systems, it is found that BDTMe magnetic topology consists of a complex 3 ...

A new kind of atlas of zeolite building blocks

Michele Ceriotti, Benjamin Aaron Helfrecht, Rocio Semino Barbaresi, Giovanni Pireddu

We have analyzed structural motifs in the Deem database of hypothetical zeolites to investigate whether the structural diversity found in this database can be well-represented by classical descriptors, such as distances, angles, and ring sizes, or whether ...

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. ...

Cooperativity in Spin Crossover Systems. An Atomistic Perspective on the Devil's Staircase

Sergio Vela Llausi

Cooperativity is key in defining the shape (i.e., gradual, abrupt, or hysteretic) of thermally driven spin transitions in magnetic switches. Despite its importance, there is very little information on its atomistic origin, which hinders the rational design ...

Thermodynamic properties of the Shastry-Sutherland model from quantum Monte Carlo simulations

Frédéric Mila, Bruce Normand

We investigate the minus-sign problem that afflicts quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations of frustrated quantum spin systems, focusing on spin S = 1/2, two spatial dimensions, and the extended Shastry-Sutherland model. We show that formulating the Hamilton ...

Dynamics of correlation-frozen antinodal quasiparticles in superconducting cuprates

Alberto Crepaldi

Many puzzling properties of high-critical temperature (T-c) superconducting (HTSC) copper oxides have deep roots in the nature of the antinodal quasiparticles, the elementary excitations with wave vector parallel to the Cu-O bonds. These electronic states ...

Probing multi-spinon excitations outside of the two-spinon continuum in the antiferromagnetic spin chain cuprate Sr2CuO3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Thorsten Schmitt, Martin Mourigal

One-dimensional (1D) magnetic insulators have attracted significant interest as a platform for studying quasiparticle fractionalization, quantum criticality, and emergent phenomena. The spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with antiferromagnetic nearest neighbour int ...

Connecting the Simpler Structures to Topologically Close-Packed Phases

Anirudh Raju Natarajan

Pathways connecting dissimilar crystal structures are fundamental to our understanding of structural phase transitions. In this Letter, we report on a new pathway connecting the hexagonal close-packed crystal structure to a hierarchy of topologically close ...
