An electron hopping on non-coplanar spin sites with chirality obtains a complex phase factor (Berry phase) in its quantum mechanical amplitude that acts as an internal magnetic field, and is predicted to manifest itself the Hall effect when it not cancelled. The present combined work of transport measurement, neutron scattering, theoretical calculation provides evidence gigantic anomalous observed Nd2Mo2O7, pyrochlore ferromagnet geometrically frustrated lattice structure, mostly due...
Introducing holes (or partly eliminating electrons) in Mott-Hubbard insulator ${\mathrm{LaTiO}}_{3}$ (with 3${\mathit{d}}^{1}$ configuration) can be carried out by partial substitution of La with Sr, which produces the strongly correlated metallic phase.

Skyrmions, topologically protected vortex-like nanometric spin textures in magnets, have been attracting increasing attention for emergent electromagnetic responses and possible technological applications spintronics. In particular, metallic magnets with chiral cubic/tetragonal crystal structure may high potential to host skyrmions that can be driven by low electrical current excitation.

We present an angle resolved photoemission (ARPES) doping dependence study of the n-type cuprate superconductor Nd_2-xCe_xCuO_4, from half-filled Mott-insulator to T_c=24K superconductor. In Nd2CuO4, we reveal charge-transfer band (CTB) for first time. As electrons are doped into system, this feature's intensity decreases with concomitant formation near-E_F spectral weight. At low doping, Fermi surface is electron-pocket (with volume ~ x) centered at (pi,0). Further leads creation a new...
The mutual control of the electric and magnetic properties a solid is currently great interest because possible application for novel electronic devices. We report on low-magnetic-field (for example, B values +/-30 milliteslas) polarization (P) vector in hexaferrite, Ba2Mg2Fe12O22, which shows helimagnetic spin structure with propagation k0 parallel to [001]. B-induced transverse conical carries P directing perpendicular both k0, accord recently proposed spin-current model. Then, oscillating...
The notion of non-trivial topological winding in condensed matter systems represents a major area present-day theoretical and experimental research. Magnetic materials offer versatile platform that is particularly amenable for the exploration spin solitons real space such as skyrmions. First identified non-centrosymmetric bulk materials, rapidly growing zoology hosting skyrmions related includes compounds, surfaces, thin films, heterostructures, nano-wires nano-dots. This underscores an...
Magnetic and magnetoelectric (ME) properties have been studied for single crystals of Sc-doped M-type barium hexaferrites. Magnetization (M) neutron diffraction measurements revealed that by tuning Sc concentration a longitudinal conical state is stabilized up to above room temperatures.

It was also response (reversal or...
Magnetic skyrmion textures are realized mainly in non-centrosymmetric, e.g. chiral or polar, magnets. Extending the field to centrosymmetric bulk materials is a rewarding challenge, where released helicity / vorticity degree of freedom and higher density result intriguing new properties enhanced functionality.

Geometrically frustrated magnets provide abundant opportunities for discovering complex spin textures, which sometimes yield unconventional electromagnetic responses in correlated electron systems. It is theoretically predicted that magnetic frustration may also promote a topologically nontrivial state, i.e., skyrmions, are nanometric vortices. Empirically, however, skyrmions essentially concomitant with noncentrosymmetric lattice structures or interfacial-symmetry-breaking heterostructures....
Abstract Reservoir computing is a neuromorphic architecture that may offer viable solutions to the growing energy costs of machine learning. In software-based learning, performance can be readily reconfigured suit different computational tasks by tuning hyperparameters. This critical functionality missing in ‘physical’ reservoir schemes exploit nonlinear and history-dependent responses physical systems for data processing. Here we overcome this issue with ‘task-adaptive’ approach computing....
A neutron scattering study of the Mott-Hubbard insulator LaTiO3 ( T(N) = 132 K) reveals a spin wave spectrum that is well described by nearest-neighbor superexchange constant J 15.5 meV and small Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction D 1.1 meV). The nearly isotropic surprising in view absence static Jahn-Teller distortion could quench orbital angular momentum, it may indicate strong fluctuations. resonant x-ray has uncovered no evidence order LaTiO3.

Complete magnetoelectric (ME) phase diagrams of orthorhombic $R{\text{MnO}}_{3}$ with and without magnetic moments on the $R$ ions have been established. Three kinds multiferroic ground states, $ab$-cycloidal, $bc$-cycloidal, collinear $E$-type phases, identified by distinct ME responses. The electric polarization dominated symmetric spin exchange $({\mathbit{S}}_{i}\ensuremath{\cdot}{\mathbit{S}}_{j})$ is more than ten times as large that $bc$-cycloidal antisymmetric one...

Despite a variety theoretical proposals oriented towards skyrmion-based electronics (that is, skyrmionics), few experiments succeeded in creating, deleting transferring the manipulation methodologies thus far remained limited to electric, magnetic thermal stimuli. Here, we demonstrate...
