Origins of anisotropic transport in electrically-switchable antiferromagnet $mathrm{Fe_1/3NbS_2}$

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Sophie F. Weber, Jeffrey B. Neaton, , , | Summary: Recent experiments on the antiferromagnetic intercalated transition metal dichalcogenide $mathrm{Fe_{1/3}NbS_2}$ have demonstrated reversible resistivity switching by application of orthogonal current pulses below its magnetic ordering temperature, making $mathrm{Fe_{1/3}NbS_2}$ promising for spintronics applications. Here, we perform density […]

Mass and Environment as Drivers of Galaxy Evolution. IV. On the Quenching of Massive Central Disk Galaxies in The Local Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Chengpeng Zhang, Yingjie Peng, Luis C. Ho, Roberto Maiolino, Alvio Renzini | Summary: The phenomenological study of evolving galaxy populations has shown that star forming galaxies can be quenched by two distinct processes: mass quenching and environment quenching (Peng et al. 2010). To explore the mass quenching […]
