Quantum spin liquids by geometric lattice design
Xiaoran Liu, T. Asaba, Qinghua Zhang +12
On a lattice composed of triangular plaquettes where antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between localized spins cannot be simultaneously satisfied, the system becomes geometri…
Unconventional crystal field splitting in non-centrosymmetric BaTiO thin films
Yang Song, Xiaoran Liu, Fangdi Wen +10
Understanding the crystal field splitting and orbital polarization in non-centrosymmetric systems such as ferroelectric materials is fundamentally important. In this study, taking…
Emergent magnetic state in (111)-oriented quasi-two-dimensional spinel oxides
Xiaoran Liu, B. J. Kirby, Zhicheng Zhong +8
We report on the emergent magnetic state of (111)-oriented CoCr2O4 ultrathin films sandwiched by Al2O3 in the quantum confined geometry. At the two-dimensional crossover, polarized…
Interface-engineered hole doping in Sr2IrO4/LaNiO3 heterostructure
Fangdi Wen, Xiaoran Liu, Qinghua Zhang +9
The relativistic Mott insulator Sr2IrO4 driven by large spin-orbit interaction is known for the Jeff = 1/2 antiferromagnetic state which closely resembles the electronic structure…
