Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Wenjin Zhao, Bowen Shen, Zui Tao, Zhongdong Han, Kaifei Kang | Summary: The Kondo lattice, describing a matrix of local magnetic moments coupled via spin-exchange interactions to itinerant conduction electrons, is a prototype of strongly correlated quantum matter. Traditionally, Kondo lattices are realized in intermetallic compounds containing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: James L Hart, Lopa Bhatt, Yanbing Zhu, Myung-Geun Han, Elisabeth Bianco | Summary: The layer stacking order in 2D materials strongly affects functional properties and holds promise for next generation electronic devices. In bulk, octahedral MoTe$_2$ possesses two stacking arrangements, the Weyl semimetal T$_d$ phase, and […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | First 5 Authors: Weijiong Chen, Clara Neerup Breiø, Freek Massee, M. P. Allan, C. Petrovic | Summary: Visualizing atomic-orbital degrees of freedom is a frontier challenge in scanned microscopy. Some types of orbital order are virtually imperceptible to normal scattering techniques because they do not reduce the overall […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank W. Wise | First 5 Authors: Yijie Shen, Qiwen Zhan, Logan G. Wright, Demetrios N. Christodoulides, Frank W. Wise | Summary: Spatiotemporal sculpturing of light pulse with ultimately sophisticated structures represents the holy grail of the human everlasting pursue of ultrafast information transmission and processing as well as ultra-intense energy concentration and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel C. Ralph | First 5 Authors: Lijun Zhu, Daniel C Ralph, , , | Summary: Spin-orbit torques (SOTs) have been widely understood as an interfacial transfer of spin that is independent of the bulk properties of the magnetic layer. Here, we report that SOTs acting on ferrimagnetic FexTb1-x layers decrease and vanish […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicholas L. Abbott | First 5 Authors: Noe Atzin, Ali Mozaffari, Xingzhou Tang, Soumik Das, Nicholas L. Abbott | Summary: Solitons in liquid crystals have generated considerable interest. Several hypotheses of varying complexity have been advanced to explain how they emerge, and a consensus has not emerged yet about the underlying forces responsible […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: Robert Hovden, Yi Jiang, Huolin L. Xin, Lena F. Kourkoutis, | Summary: The discrete Fourier transform is among the most routine tools used in high-resolution scanning / transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM). However, when calculating a Fourier transform, periodic boundary conditions are imposed and sharp discontinuities between […]
Kavli Affiliate: Katja C. Nowack | First 5 Authors: Qiaochu Guo, Anthony D’Addario, Yang Cheng, Jeremy Kline, Isaiah Gray | Summary: Electrical switching of N’eel order in an antiferromagnetic insulator is desirable as a basis for memory applications. Unlike electrically-driven switching of ferromagnetic order via spin-orbit torques, electrical switching of antiferromagnetic order remains poorly understood. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicholas L. Abbott | First 5 Authors: Fiona Mukherjee, Anye Shi, Xin Wang, Fengqi You, Nicholas L. Abbott | Summary: Identifying and removing microplastics (MPs) from the environment is a global challenge. This study explores how the colloidal fraction of common MPs behave at aqueous interfaces of liquid crystal (LC) films. We observed […]
