Spatio-temporal migration of antiferromagnetic domain walls in Sr2IrO4

Ian Robinson, David Yang, Ross Harder +18

By laser pump-probe time-resolved coherent magnetic X-ray diffraction imaging, we have measured the migration velocity of antiferromagnetic domain walls in the Mott insulator Sr2Ir…

Vision Transformer for Multi-Domain Phase Retrieval in Coherent Diffraction Imaging

Jialun Liu, David Yang, Ian Robinson

Bragg coherent diffraction imaging (BCDI) phase retrieval becomes rapidly difficult in the strong-phase regime, where a crystal contains distortions beyond half a lattice spacing.…

Ultrafast heat transfer in single palladium nanocrystals seen with an X-ray free-electron laser

David Yang, James Wrigley, Jack Griffiths +11

We report transient highly strained structural states in individual palladium (Pd) nanocrystals, electronically heated using an optical laser, which precede their uniform thermal e…

Unveiling Nano-scale Crystal Deformation using Coherent X-ray Dynamical Diffraction

Longlong Wu, David Yang, Wei Wang +5

Visualization of internal deformation fields in crystalline materials helps bridge the gap between theoretical models and practical applications. Applying Bragg coherent diffractio…

Symmetry Breaking during Low-Temperature Domain Formation in Micron-sized Magnetite Crystals

Yue Dong, David Yang, Jialun Liu +3

We report the results of synchrotron Bragg Coherent X-ray Diffraction Imaging (BCDI) experiments to investigate domain formation in a micron-sized magnetite crystal undergoing the…

Low temperature state in strontium titanate microcrystals using in situ multi-reflection Bragg coherent X-ray diffraction imaging

David Yang, Ana F. Suzana, Longlong Wu +12

Strontium titanate is a classic quantum paraelectric oxide material that has been widely studied in bulk and thin films. It exhibits a well-known cubic-to-tetragonal antiferrodisto…
