Abstract About 40 trans-Neptunian binaries (TNBs) have fully determined orbits with about 10 others being solved except for breaking the mirror ambiguity. Despite decades of study, almost all TNBs only ever been analyzed a model that assumes perfect Keplerian motion (e.g., two point masses). In reality, TNB systems are non-Keplerian due to nonspherical shapes, possible presence undetected system components, and/or solar perturbations. this work, we focus on identifying candidates detectable...
Studying magnetism in entropy-stabilized oxides (ESOs) is an exciting new research avenue following the recent discovery of antiferromagnetic order (Mg${}_{0.2}$Co${}_{0.2}$Ni${}_{0.2}$Cu${}_{0.2}$Zn${}_{0.2}$)O (MgO-ESO). Muon spin relaxation and neutron scattering experiments reveal a continuous transition that occurs across broad distribution ordering temperatures throughout MgO-ESO sample. The ground state exhibits magnon gap significant quasielastic scattering, suggesting unusual...
${\mathrm{Fe}}_{2}\mathrm{P}$ alloys have been identified as promising candidates for magnetic refrigeration at room-temperature and custom magnetostatic applications. The intent of this study is to accurately characterize the ground state parent compound, ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{2}\mathrm{P}$, with two spectroscopic techniques, $\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{SR}$ NMR, in order provide solid bases further experimental analysis ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{2}\mathrm{P}$-type transition metal based alloys. We perform...
