Abstract The workshop “Shedding light on X17” brings together scientists looking for the existence of a possible new particle, often referred to as X17.

We report Hall, magnetic, heat capacity, and doping studies from single crystals of ${\mathrm{Yb}}_{14}{\mathrm{MnSb}}_{11}$ ${\mathrm{Yb}}_{13.3}{\mathrm{La}}_{0.7}{\mathrm{MnSb}}_{11}$.

The renormalization the carrier mass $2{m}_{e}$ near room temperature to $20{m}_{e}$ at 5 plus magnetic evidence for partial screening Mn moments suggest that these represent rare examples an underscreened Kondo...

A theoretical ab-initio investigation of exchange interaction between Cu atoms in an insulating antiferromagnet Cu(H2O)2(en)SO4, en = C2H8N2, is reported. While the previous experimental studies described system's magnetism to be quasi-two-dimensional, our results, based on a mapping system onto effective Heisenberg model, rather support quasi-one-dimensional character with coupling being propagated mainly along zigzag line lying crystal's bc plane and connecting through N atoms. Further,...

We analyze color superconductivity of one massive flavor quark matter at moderate baryon density with a spin-zero color-sextet condensate. The most general Higgs-type ground-state expectation value the order parameter implies complete breakdown $\mathrm{SU}(3)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}U(1)$ symmetry. However, both conventional fourth-order polynomial effective bosonic description and Nambu--Jona-Lasinio--type fermionic in mean-field approximation favor an enhanced $\mathrm{SO}(3)$...

An analytically tractable simple model of a magnetic domain wall in ferromagnetic metal is considered and, assuming the ballistic regime electronic transport, transmission and reflection coefficients such are calculated within stationary scattering theory.It rederived that for realistic values electron energies widths coefficient very close to one thus an ideal itself (i.e.not taking into account other aspects as disorder) does not essentially represent hindrance transport.

Results of first-principles calculations the Fe/GaAs/Ag(001) epitaxial tunnel junctions reveal that hybridization interface resonances formed at both interfaces can enhance tunnelling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) systems. This mechanism is manifested by a non-monotonic dependence TAMR effect on thickness barrier, with maximum for intermediate thicknesses. A detailed scan k-resolved transmissions over two-dimensional Brillouin zone proves an interplay between few hybridization-induced...
