Spiral spin-liquids are correlated paramagnetic states with degenerate propagation vectors forming a continuous ring or surface in reciprocal space.
Researchers discovered a mechanism for creating novel electronic materials by reversible phase transformations of the perovskite oxygen sublattice.1 The reversible tuning of the oxygen sublattice greatly expands the parameter space of magnetic and elect
Metallic glasses are promising as structural materials because of high mechanical strength, but they often lack ductility, limiting their application. However, the origin of the low ductility is not well-understood.
Manipulating the type and degree of spin and exchange disorder in a crystal lattice provides new design principles to create highly tunable magnetic order.
Scientists found that the collective nanoparticle dynamics in polymer nanocomposites could be up to three orders of magnitude slower than the self-diffusion limit of isolated nanoparticles.
Researchers showed that dual-function intermetallic nanoprecipitates simultaneously enhanced strength and ductility of medium-entropy alloys via synergistic spatial confinement effects on two distinct deformation mechanisms: precipitation
The mechanisms of van der Waals (vdW) epitaxial growth of monolayer two-dimensional (2D) crystals from amorphous precursors were revealed by in situ pulsed laser heating within a TEM and first-principles calculations.
Scientists demonstrated switching between topological and magnetic ground states by controlling the concentration of magnetic defects in a crystal.
Precision synthesis approach discovered that epitaxial strain can deliberately position transition metals at a certain crystallographic position in a composite ferroelectric.
Researchers decrypted the formation of passivation layers for the promising bis-(fluorosulfonyl)-imide (FSI-) based ionic liquid electrolyte on carbon electrodes at high cell voltages.
