Aging associated domain evolution in the orthorhombic phase of <001> textured (K0.5Na0.5)Nb0.97Sb0.03O3 ceramics

Jianjun Yao, Jiefang Li, D. Viehland +2

An aging effect due to a domain evolution in (K0.5,Na0.5)Nb0.97Sb0.03O3 <001> textured ceramics was investigated by piezoresponse force microscopy. We find that such an aging effec…

An infrared probe of the insulator-to-metal transition in GaMnAs and GaBeAs

B. C. Chapler, R. C. Myers, S. Mack +8

We report infrared studies of the insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) in GaAs doped with either magnetic (Mn) or non-magnetic acceptors (Be). We observe a resonance with a natural…

Current induced anisotropic magnetoresistance in topological insulator films

Jian Wang, Handong Li, Cui-Zu Chang +7

Topological insulators are insulating in the bulk but possess spin-momentum locked metallic surface states protected by time-reversal symmetry. The existence of these surface state…
