Previously unknown magnetic regimes and phenomena are revealed by tuning the competition between two types of spin-orbit coupling.
Precision magnetometry is fundamental to the development of novel magnetic materials and devices. Recently, nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond has emerged as a promising probe for static magnetism 2D van der Waals materials, capable quantitative imaging with nanoscale spatial resolution. However, dynamic character magnetism, crucial understanding phase transition achieving technological applications, rarely been experimentally accessible single crystals. Here, we coherently control NV...
Broadening the knowledge and understanding on magnetic correlations in van der Waals layered magnets is critical realizing their potential next-generation applications. In this study, we employ high frequency (240 GHz) electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy plate-like CrBr$_{3}$ to gain insight into interactions as a function of temperature (200 - 4 K) angle rotation ${\theta}$. We find that dependence ESR linewidth well described by Ginzberg-Landau model Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless...
Solution-based soft matter self-assembly (SA) promises unique materials properties from approaches including additive manufacturing/three-dimensional (3D) printing. We report direct ink writing derived, hierarchically porous transition metal nitride superconductors (SCs) and precursor oxides, structure-directed by Pluronics-family block copolymer (BCP) SA heat treated in various environments. SCs with periodic lattices on three length scales show record nanoconfinement-induced upper critical...
