Anisotropy-Dependent Decay of Room Temperature Metastable Skyrmions and a Nascent Double-q Spin Texture in Co8Zn9Mn3

Chiral cubic Co‐Zn‐Mn magnets exhibit diverse topological spin textures, including room‐temperature skyrmion phases and robust far‐from‐equilibrium metastable states. Despite recent advances in understanding metastable skyrmions, the interplay between comp ...

Investigating Criticality in Rock Failure Using Fiber-Optic Strain Sensing

Thomas Willem Jan de Geus

Gradual localization of deformation preceding catastrophic failure can produce precursory signals associated with a phase transition that may be present prior to earthquakes. However, due to the unclear origin of these precursors and the complexity of the ...

Organic matters, but inorganic matters too: column examination of elevated mercury sorption on low organic matter aquifer material using concentrations and stable isotope ratios

Lorenz Schwab

Sorption of mercury (Hg) in soils is suggested to be predominantly associated with organic matter (OM). However, there is a growing collection of research that suggests that clay minerals and oxides are also important solid phases for the sorption of solu ...
