Heat Capacity-A Powerful Tool for Studying Exotic States of Matter
K. Ramesh Kumar, Xudong Huai, MichaÅ J. Winiarski +2
Heat capacity measurements are a powerful tool that researchers rely on when studying the relationship between microscopic degrees of freedom and macroscopic behavior in condensed…
Possible Proximity to Ferromagnetism in the VGa Superconductor
Szymon Królak, Xudong Huai, Wiktoria Jarosz +6
Superconductivity and ferromagnetism are generally competing ground states in -electron systems, making their interplay of fundamental interest. We report a comprehensive study…
Chiral Polar Eu2(SeO3)2(SO4)(H2O)2: A Pathway Toward Narrow Optical Linewidths and Microsecond Lifetimes for Quantum Memory Candidates
Uchenna Chinaegbomkpa, Ebube Oyeka, Xudong Huai +5
Stoichiometric materials of Eu(III) offer a promising platform for quantum memories attributable to their unique capability to display a distinctive, nondegenerate J = 0 transition…
Field-Tailoring Quantum Materials via Magneto-Synthesis: Metastable Metallic and Magnetically Suppressed Phases in a Trimer Iridate
Tristan R. Cao, Hengdi Zhao, Xudong Huai +4
We demonstrate that applying modest magnetic fields during high-temperature crystal growth can profoundly alter the structure and ground state of a spin-orbit-coupled, antiferromag…
Treasure Map Toward Skyrmion Evolution in Ambient Conditions: A Perspective from Electronic Instabilities and the Density of Energy
Xudong Huai, Thao T. Tran
Magnetic skyrmions with topologically protected properties are anticipated to shape the future of electronics. Understanding how skyrmions may evolve in ambient conditions presents…
Atomically Modulating Competing Exchange Interactions in Centrosymmetric Skyrmion Hosts GdRu2X2 (X = Si, Ge)
Dasuni N. Rathnaweera, Xudong Huai, K. Ramesh Kumar +7
Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected spin states enabling high-density, low-power spin electronics. Despite growing efforts to find new skyrmion host systems, the microsc…
