Defect Landscape Engineering to Tune Skyrmion-Antiskyrmion Systems in FeGe

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Muller | First 5 Authors: Jiangteng Liu, Ryan Schoell, Xiyue S. Zhang, Hongbin Yang, M. B. Venuti | Summary: A promising architecture for next-generation, low energy spintronic devices uses skyrmions — nanoscale whirlpools of magnetic moment — as information carriers. Notably, schemes for racetrack memory have been proposed in which skyrmions […]

Electron ptychography reveals a ferroelectricity dominated by anion displacements

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Muller | First 5 Authors: Harikrishnan K. P., Ruijuan Xu, Kinnary Patel, Kevin J. Crust, Aarushi Khandelwal | Summary: Sodium niobate, a lead-free ferroic material, hosts delicately-balanced, competing order parameters, including ferroelectric states that can be stabilized by epitaxial strain. Here, we show that the resulting macroscopic ferroelectricity exhibits an unconventional […]

Discovery of Dynamical Heterogeneity in a Supercooled Magnetic Monopole Fluid

Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | First 5 Authors: Jahnatta Dasini, Chaia Carroll, Chun-Chih Hsu, Hiroto Takahashi, Jack Murphy | Summary: Dynamical heterogeneity in which transitory local fluctuations occur in the conformation and dynamics of constituent particles, is essential for evolution of supercooled liquids into the glass state. Yet its microscopic spatiotemporal phenomenology has […]
