Charge density waves (CDWs) have been observed in nearly all families of copper-oxide superconductors. But the behavior these phases across different has perplexing. In La-based cuprates, CDW wavevector is an increasing function doping, exhibiting so-called Yamada behavior, while Y- and Bi-based materials opposite. Here, we report a combined resonant soft X-ray scattering (RSXS) neutron study charge spin isotopically enriched La1.8−xEu0.2SrxCuO4 over range doping 0.07≤x≤0.20. We find that...

The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction is present in the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) magnets of form ${M}_{1/3}T{\mathrm{S}}_{2}$ ($M=3d$ metal, $T\ensuremath{\in}{\mathrm{Nb},\mathrm{Ta}}$), given that intercalants $M$ $\sqrt{3}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\sqrt{3}$ superlattices within structure parent materials $T{\mathrm{S}}_{2}$ and break centrosymmetry. Competition between DM ferromagnetic exchange interactions has been shown to stabilize a topological defect known...

Fluxonium qubits are recognized for their high coherence times and operation fidelities. These attributed to unique design incorporating a superinductor, which is typically implemented using an array of over 100 Josephson junctions; however, this complexity poses significant fabrication challenges, particularly in achieving yield junction uniformity with traditional methods. Here, we introduce overlap process Josephson-junction that achieves nearly 100% maintains across 2-inch (50.8-mm)...

Heavy transition metal magnets with $J_{\rm eff}$ $=$ 1/2 electronic ground states have attracted recent interest due to their penchant for hosting new classes of quantum spin liquids and superconductors. Unfortunately, model systems ideal are scarce the importance non-cubic local distortions in most candidate materials. In this work, we identify a family iridium halide [i.e. K$_2$IrCl$_6$, K$_2$IrBr$_6$, (NH$_4$)$_2$IrCl$_6$, Na$_2$IrCl$_6 \cdotp $ 6(H$_2$O)] Ir$^{4+}$ extremely close...

We have investigated the upper critical fields of Y/sub 1-x/Er/sub x/Ni/sub 2/B/sub 2/C and x/Pd/sub 5/B/sub 3/C/sub 0.4/ (0/spl les/x/spl les/1) systems by scaling analysis thermal fluctuation conductivity. The experiments were done over wide magnetic field range. are going to test theory in borocarbide superconducting systems. According analysis, conductivity should be scaled as /spl sigma//sub f/=((T2)/H)(1/3)F[A(T-Tc(H))/((TH)(2/3))]. Because function is independent, all curves obtained...

Magnetic neutron scattering measures spin-spin correlations giving information about the long-range spin order as well shape of density in magnetic materials. Similarly, detailed first principles calculations directly compute In this work, authors carefully compare experimentally measured intensities to three levels theory: functional theory two approximations, and fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo. While each performs similarly for simple antiferromagnet MnO, there are significant...
