Collapse of Jahn-Teller Phonons in LaSrMnO with Weak Magnetoresistance
Tyler C. Sterling, Andrei T. Savici, Ryoichi Kajimoto +4
Perovskite manganites are quantum materials exhibiting competing interactions inducing colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). The prevailing theory of CMR highlights the essential role…
A Wigner Matrix Based Convolution Algorithm For Matrix Elements in the LCAO Method
Tyler C. Sterling
The linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) method uses a small basis set in exchange for expensive matrix element calculations. The most efficient approximation for the matri…
Dipolar Nematic State in Relaxor Ferroelectrics
Yuan-Jinsheng Liu, Tyler C. Sterling, Shi Liu
Relaxor ferroelectrics exhibit exceptional dielectric and electromechanical properties, yet their microscopic origins remain elusive due to the interplay of hierarchical polar stru…
Lattice Dynamics of Energy Materials Investigated by Neutron Scattering
Tyler C. Sterling
In this thesis, I discuss several basic science studies in the field of energy materials using neutron scattering as a probe for the lattice dynamics. To enable understanding of ne…
The Mechanism of Shrimpoluminescence
Tyler C. Sterling
Snapping shrimp produce bubbles that emit light when they collapse. When a bubble collapses so strongly that it emits light, the light emission is usually called sonoluminescence;…
Gapped commensurate antiferromagnetic response in a strongly underdoped model cuprate superconductor
Zachary W. Anderson, Yang Tang, Vikram Nagarajan +13
It is a distinct possibility that spin fluctuations are the pairing interactions in a wide range of unconventional superconductors. In the case of the high-transition-temperature (…
