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…

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…
