Observation of magnetically switchable quantum geometric photocurrents
Qi Tian, Zhuoliang Ni, Matthew Cothrine +6
In non-centrosymmetric materials, light can be rectified into two types of DC photocurrents, known as injection and shift currents, through the bulk photovoltaic effect. Recent the…

Terahertz spintronic devices combine ultrafast operation with low power consumption, making them strong candidates for next-generation memory technologies. In this study, we use ti…
Imprinting spin patterns by local strain control in a van der Waals antiferromagnet
Zhuoliang Ni, Huiqin Zhang, Qi Tian +6
Van der Waals magnets provide opportunities for exploring low-dimensional magnetism and spintronic phenomena. The Mermin-Wagner theorem states that long-range correlations in reduc…
Magnetic field control of continuous Néel vector rotation and Néel temperature in a van der Waals antiferromagnet
Zhuoliang Ni, Urban Seifert, Amanda V. Haglund +4
In a collinear antiferromagnet, spins tend to cant towards the direction of an applied magnetic field, thereby decreasing the energy of the system. The canting angle becomes neglig…
