Evidence is building that iron pnictides inhabit the mostly unexplored ¿intermediate¿ region of electronic correlation strength, which is neither very weak coupling, nor strong...

In order to improve the performance of future energy devices, nano-structured materials is one of the most promising routes. LiFePO4 is a commercial battery cathode material...

In recent years, there has been a large research interest in noncentrosymmetric systems in part due to the exotic physics these systems display. Examples of chiral magnets...

NCS is a natural method to investigate nuclear quantum effects in condensed-matter systems and molecules. However, it is not often used as a first method of choice due to the...

Systems with antiferromagnetic ordering that is driven predominantly by dipolar interactions are very rare, as the dipolar interaction is inherently weak compared to the...

Bacterial membranes contain safety valves called mechanosensitive ion channels, which protect the bacterium from changes in the osmotic pressure of their environment. However,...

The new compound Bi2CoTiO6 is synthesized using high pressure - high temperature techniques. Its properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction, magnetic measurements, and...

In condensed matter physics, the search for new exotic quantum ground states has become a central theme over the past few years. Among the 3D quantum spin liquid candidates, the...

Batteries are ubiquitous in everday applications but making them cheaper, safer, and able to store more energy could widen their use still further. Many rechargeable batteries...

We would like to evaluate the vertical depth concentration profile for a blend of two materials that make a relatively high efficiency polymer solar cell device. Measurements of...

A quantum spin liquid (QSL) shows no magnetic order down to zero temperature but the spins are highly entangled. In a 2D spin-1/2 triangular-lattice QSL YbMgGaO4, our previous...

In the current description of any molecular system based on the Schrodinger equation with a Hamiltonian accounting only for the electromagnetic forces, the structural properties...

Low-dimensional quantum magnetism continues to be of great theoretical and experimental interest, as reduced dimensionality supports strong quantum fluctuations which can result...

Single layers and bilayers of MoS2 and Fe were prepared under ambient condition using e-beam evaporation and DC magnetron sputtering, respectively. Uniaxial magnetic anisotropy...

Two recent high profile theoretical studies predict the existence of room temperature multiferroicity in CuO at high pressures. If confirmed experimentally, this would represent...

Bi4Ti3O12 is a well-known and studied layered perovskite; such phases are ferroelectrics, which have been used in random-acccess memories and other applications. Understanding...

Although surfactant detergency is well understood above 30 C, actions of surfactants below 30 C are not well established. In the era of energy saving and environment caring, we...

The closely related LiHoF4 and LiErF4 compounds have attracted a lot of interest as the dipolarnature of the coupling between spins allows for the study of quantum phase...

The iron-based superconductors are at the forefront of the research on unconventional superconductivity. The Barium-122 systems, doped with electrons, reveal a non-trivial...

NiPS3 is a magnetic material. Its structure has similarities to graphite in that the atoms are strongly bound in planes but the planes are only weakly bound. It is called...
