Non-volatile Multistate Magnetic Switching via Spin-orbit Torque and Intrinsic Anisotropy

Fei Ye, Chunzheng Wang, Xue Zhang +6

While current-induced bistate spin-orbit torque (SOT) switching has been well established, deterministic electrical control of multiple magnetic states remains a central challenge…

Interplay of spin-orbit coupling and trigonal crystal field enhances superconductivity in (111)

Long Cheng, Jia Liu, Tongying Liu +10

In conventional superconductors, bulk physical properties typically degrade as the film thickness approaches the two-dimensional (2D) limit. Here in the (111) oriented LaAlO3/KTaO3…

Violation of Ericksen inequalities in lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals

Cheng Long, Jonathan V. Selinger

By analyzing elastic theory for nematic liquid crystals, we distinguish three regimes of elastic constants. In one regime, the Ericksen inequalities are satisfied, and the ground s…
