Heteroclinic orbits for a system of amplitude equations for orthogonal domain walls

Boris Buffoni

Using a variational method, we prove the existence of heteroclinic solutions for a 6-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations. We derive this system from the classical Benard-Rayleigh problem near the convective instability threshold. The cons ...

Numerical study of fully baffled Super-X L-mode discharges on TCV

Davide Galassi, Christian Gabriel Theiler

We present a numerical study of three fully baffled L-mode TCV discharges with three different values of the outer strike-point major radius/total flux expansion, showing that the beneficial effect of large strike point radius is partially screened in thes ...

Eight-vertex criticality in the interacting Kitaev chain

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

We show that including pairing and repulsion into the description of one-dimensional spinless fermions, as in the domain wall theory of commensurate melting or the interacting Kitaev chain, leads, for strong enough repulsion, to a line of critical points i ...

Spin Textures in 2D Magnets

Lukas Powalla

The continuous reduction of the structural size in nanotechnology slowed down over the last decade, approaching the natural limit of single atoms as building blocks of matter. Therefore, intensive research is directed toward exploring new frontiers, in par ...

Direct observation of exchange anisotropy in the helimagnetic insulator Cu2OSeO3

Arnaud Magrez, Jonathan White, Priya Ranjan Baral

The helical magnetic structures of cubic chiral systems are well explained by the competition among Heisen-berg exchange, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, cubic anisotropy, and anisotropic exchange interaction (AEI). Recently, the role of the latter has ...

Reconfigurable nonreciprocal excitation of propagating exchange spin waves in perpendicularly magnetized yttrium iron garnet thin films

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Peng Chen

We report the nonreciprocal excitation of propagating forward volume exchange spin waves in yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin film with perpendicular anisotropy by bringing the in-plane magnetization of Co20Fe60B20 (CoFeB) nanowires to resonance. All-electric ...

Seeding and Emergence of Composite Skyrmions in a van der Waals Magnet

Klaus Kern, Marko Burghard, Lukas Powalla

Topological charge plays a significant role in a range of physical systems. In particular, observations of real-space topological objects in magnetic materials have been largely limited to skyrmions - states with a unitary topological charge. Recently, mor ...

Giant switchable non thermally-activated conduction in 180 degrees domain walls in tetragonal Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Igor Stolichnov, Felix Risch

Conductive domain walls in ferroelectrics offer a promising concept of nanoelectronic circuits with 2D domain-wall channels playing roles of memristors or synoptic interconnections. However, domain wall conduction remains challenging to control and pA-rang ...

Magnetic structure of the topological semimetal Co3Sn2S2

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Ivica Zivkovic, Jian Rui Soh

Co3Sn2S2 has recently been predicted to be a Weyl semimetal in which magnetic order is key to its behavior as a topological material. Here, we report unpolarized neutron diffraction and spherical neutron polarimetry measurements, supported by magnetization ...

Optically Triggered Neel Vector Manipulation of a Metallic Antiferromagnet Mn2Au under Strain

Alexey Sapozhnik

The absence of stray fields, their insensitivity to external magnetic fields, and ultrafast dynamics make antiferromagnets promising candidates for active elements in spintronic devices. Here, we demonstrate manipulation of the Neel vector in the metallic ...

A Variable Stiffness Magnetic Catheter Made of a Conductive Phase-Change Polymer for Minimally Invasive Surgery

Dario Floreano, Jun Shintake, Yegor Piskarev

Variable stiffness (VS) is an important feature that significantly enhances the dexterity of magnetic catheters used in minimally invasive surgeries. Existing magnetic catheters with VS consist of sensors, heaters, and tubular structures filled with low me ...

Challenges and Applications to Operando and In Situ TEM Imaging and Spectroscopic Capabilities in a Cryogenic Temperature Range

Vasiliki Tileli, Reinis Ignatans

In this Account, we describe the challenges and promising applications of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging and spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures. Our work focuses on two areas of application: the delay of electron-beam-induced degradatio ...

Field-dependent roughness of moving domain walls in a Pt/Co/Pt magnetic thin film

Elisabeth Agoritsas

The creep motion of domain walls driven by external fields in magnetic thin films is described by universal features related to the underlying depinning transition. One key parameter in this description is the roughness exponent characterizing the growth o ...

Lifshitz point at commensurate melting of chains of Rydberg atoms

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

The recent investigation of chains of Rydberg atoms has brought back the problem of commensurateincommensurate transitions into the focus of current research. In two-dimensional classical systems or in one-dimensional quantum systems, the commensurate melt ...

Spin waves in the collinear antiferromagnetic phase of Mn5Si3

A non-twisting flux tube for local gyrokinetic simulations

Stephan Brunner, Justin Richard Ball

Local gyrokinetic simulations use a field-aligned domain that twists due to the magnetic shear of the background magnetic equilibrium. However, if the magnetic shear is strong and/or the domain is long, the twist can become so extreme that it fails to prop ...
