High fidelity pressure measurements in the zero temperature limit provide a unique opportunity to study the behavior of strongly interacting, itinerant electrons with coupled spin and charge degrees of freedom. Approaching the exactitude that has become the hallmark of experiments on classical critical phenomena, we characterize the quantum critical behavior of the model, elemental antiferromagnet chromium, lightly doped with vanadium. We resolve the sharp doubling of the Hall coefficient at the quantum critical point and trace the dominating effects of quantum fluctuations up to surprisingly high temperatures.
Direct evidence for the magnetic ordering of Nd ions in NdMn$_2$Si$_2$ and NdMn$_2$Ge$_2$ by high resolution inelastic neutron scattering
用高分辨非弹性中子散射研究了NdMn $_2$ Si $_2$和NdMn $_2$ Ge $_2$的低能核自旋激发。以前的中子衍射研究给出了模糊的结果Nd磁有序在低温下。本元素特定的技术提供了直接的证据,钕离子的磁有序。发现NdMn $_2$ Si $_2$和NdMn $_2$ Ge $_2$在低温下的Nd磁有序化过程有很大的不同。我们的结果是一致的磁化和最近的中子衍射测量。
Transport and magnetic behavior under pressure and high-resolution photoemission studies of Ce2Rh(o.7)Co(0.3)Si3, an alloy on the verge of quantum critical point
We investigate the effect of strain and film thickness on the orbital and magnetic properties of LaSrCrO$_3$ (LSCO)/LaSrMnO$_3$ (LSMO) heterostructures using bulk magnetometry, soft X-ray magnetic spectroscopy, first-principles density functional theory, high-resolution electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. We observe an anti-parallel ordering of the magnetic moments between the ferromagnetic LSMO layers and the LSCO spacers leading to a strain-independent ferromagnetic ground state of the LSCO/LSMO heterostructures for LSMO layers as thin as 2 unit cells. As the LSMO thickness is increas…
