Environmental Stabilization of Perfect-Crystal Neutron Interferometry Using a Large Vacuum Chamber with Cryogenic Sample Access
Robert Valdillez, David G. Cory, Robert W. Haun +9
Perfect-crystal neutron interferometry has been a useful tool in measuring nuclear-interactions, probing fundamental physics, and exploring quantum phenomenon. Historically, neutro…
Quantum oscillations from networked topological interfaces in a Weyl semimetal
I-Lin Liu, Colin Heikes, Taner Yildirim +6
Layered transition metal chalcogenides are promising hosts of electronic Weyl nodes and topological superconductivity. MoTe is a striking example that harbors both noncentrosym…
Mechanical control of crystal symmetry and superconductivity in Weyl semimetal MoTe
Colin Heikes, I-Lin Liu, Tristin Metz +11
The non-centrosymmetric Weyl semimetal candidate, MoTe was investigated through neutron diffraction and transport measurements at pressures up to 1.5 GPa and at temperatures do…
Ferromagnetic van der Waals compound MnSbBiTe
Yangyang Chen, Ya-Wen Chuang, Seng Huat Lee +12
The intersection of topology and magnetism represents a new playground to discover novel quantum phenomena and device concepts. In this work, we show that a van der Waals compound…
Modification of Spin Ice Physics in HoTiO Thin Films
Kevin Barry, Biwen Zhang, Naween Anand +10
We present an extensive study on the effect of substrate orientation, strain, stoichiometry and defects on spin ice physics in HoTiO thin films grown onto yttria-stabil…
Breaking of valley degeneracy by magnetic field in monolayer MoSe2
David MacNeill, Colin Heikes, Kin Fai Mak +5
Using polarization-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy, we investigate valley degeneracy breaking by out-of-plane magnetic field in back-gated monolayer MoSe devices. We ob…
Deciphering structural and magnetic disorder in the chiral skyrmion host materials CoZnMn ()
Joshua D. Bocarsly, Colin Heikes, Craig M. Brown +2
CoZnMn () compounds crystallizing in the chiral -Mn crystal structure are known to host skyrmion spin textures even at elevated temperatures. As in other…
