    Local structural distortions drive magnetic molecular field in compositionally complex spinel oxide

    Synthesis and global structural symmetry

    The synthesis of polycrystalline samples of five parent compounds ACr2O4 (A = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) and A5Cr2O4 was carried out using a conventional solid-state synthesis route (details are provided in the…

  • Non-equilibrium anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy for investigating Higgs modes in superconductors

    Non-equilibrium anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy for investigating Higgs modes in superconductors

    Raman instrument

    Spontaneous Raman measurements were performed on the UT-3 Raman spectrometer (see Fig. S1)46. This triple-grated spectrometer is fully achromatic due to the use of reflective optics. Excellent stray light rejection is achieved…

    Modification mechanism of silver nanoparticles-functionalized MW-CNT and GGBFS and CQDs on the structural properties of geopolymer reinforced-composite beam

    Flow with Abrams

    The relative flow and types of fresh geopolymer containing fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, Ag-PM-WCNTs, GGBFS, CQD, and PCEP-BSP, as well as the reference composite, are shown in Fig. 3. Notably, the formwork, which is…

    Ion acceleration from micrometric targets immersed in an intense laser field

    Experiments

    The irradiation geometry (see Methods) is illustrated in Fig. 1a. We irradiated d = 0.2 μm thick, w = 2–10 μm wide μ-bars using 27-fs long p-polarized laser pulses with 120 mJ of energy. These pulses were focused to a 3.5 μm…

  • Misfit layered superconductor (PbSe)1.14(NbSe2)3 with possible layer-selective FFLO state

    Misfit layered superconductor (PbSe)1.14(NbSe2)3 with possible layer-selective FFLO state

    Figure 1a shows a crystal structure of (PbSe)1.14(NbSe2)3 with the 2Ha stacking of NbSe2 tri-layer, where one Nb atom locates directly on another Nb atom. Each tri-layer NbSe2 stacks mostly in the same direction, which is also experimentally…

  • Taming Heat in Quantum Tech

    • Physics 18, s97

    A thermal version of a transistor could help control heat flow in cryogenic quantum systems.

    Many quantum technologies function only at ultralow temperatures. Managing the flow of heat in these systems…
