Ferrimagnetic ordering and spin entropy of field-dependent intermediate spins in ${Na}_{0.82} {CoO}_{2}$

G. J. Shu and F. C. Chou

Phys. Rev. B 93, 140402(R) (2016) - Published 5 April, 2016

The authors continue efforts to understand the origin of the peculiar phenomenon revealed in the electronic and magnetic properties of Na $_{x}$ CoO $_{2}$ . From ac and dc spin susceptibility measurements, they confirm the key role of the Co $^{3 +}$ intermediate spin state. This research should also have bearing on other layered transition metal oxides.

Current control of magnetic anisotropy via stress in a ferromagnetic metal waveguide

Kyongmo An, Xin Ma, Chi-Feng Pai, Jusang Yang, Kevin S. Olsson, James L. Erskine, Daniel C. Ralph, Robert A. Buhrman, and Xiaoqin Li

Phys. Rev. B 93, 140404(R) (2016) - Published 11 April, 2016

Current control of magnetism, especially in multilayer thin films, hold great promise for applications in spintronics. Efficient control can be achieved using spin-orbit torques originating from either the spin Hall effect or the Rashba effect. In the context of spin waves, direct current pass through a heavy metal/ferromagnetic bilayer may be used to reduce/amplify damping or shift the resonant field. The effective field or damping introduced by the spin Hall or the Rashba effects depends on the current linearly, reversing the sign with a direct current in the opposite direction. The authors of this study report unexpected symmetric magnetic resonance shifts for spin waves passing through a CoFeB/Ta waveguide. This second-order effect arises from the dc modified magnetic anisotropy via anisotropic stress introduced between the substrate and the bilayer. Similar current-induced magnetoelastic effects may be relevant in many ferromagnetic heterostructures subject to large direct current.

Coexistence of low-moment magnetism and superconductivity in tetragonal FeS and suppression of $T_{c}$ under pressure

S. Holenstein, U. Pachmayr, Z. Guguchia, S. Kamusella, R. Khasanov, A. Amato, C. Baines, H.-H. Klauss, E. Morenzoni, D. Johrendt, and H. Luetkens

Phys. Rev. B 93, 140506(R) (2016) - Published 25 April, 2016

The family of iron-based superconductors has recently acquired a new member material, FeS. Theoretically, this compound has been shown to have electronic structure similar to that of the superconducting FeSe. However, contradictory ground states have been predicted for FeS. In this work, a collaboration of authors from Switzerland and Germany use muon spin rotation and relaxation to show that weak-moment magnetism microscopically coexists with bulk superconductivity. Additionally, in contrast with some earlier studies, the results suggest a fully gapped superconducting state of FeS.

Asymmetric structure of $90^{\circ}$ domain walls and interactions with defects in ${PbTiO}_{3}$

Anand Chandrasekaran, Xian-Kui Wei, Ludwig Feigl, Dragan Damjanovic, Nava Setter, and Nicola Marzari

Phys. Rev. B 93, 144102 (2016) - Published 4 April, 2016

Using a combination of first-principles calculation and high-resolution scanning TEM, the authors report novel structural characteristics of the ferreoelastic 90 $^{\circ}$ domain wall in PbTiO $_{3}$ . They highlight the discovery of a sharp discontinuity in the variation of the lattice parameters across the domain wall. The first-principles calculations show that oxygen vacancies prefer to cluster in the plane adjacent to the asymmetric domain walls. Understanding interaction of oxygen vacancies with domain walls is important because such defects are used to tailor properties of ferroelectric materials

Strain coupling, microstructure dynamics, and acoustic mode softening in germanium telluride

D. Yang, T. Chatterji, J. A. Schiemer, and M. A. Carpenter

Phys. Rev. B 93, 144109 (2016) - Published 11 April, 2016

The authors have used resonant ultrasound spectroscopy to characterize variations in the elastic and anelastic properties of GeTe associated with the ferroelectric/ferroelastic phase transition at ~625 K. These arise as a consequence of strong coupling between strain and driving order parameter, and their magnitudes are permissive of a significant order/disorder component to the transition. Remarkably, precursor softening due to dynamical disorder and Debye freezing of twin walls at low temperatures appear both to be controlled by the same thermally activated mechanism associated with small displacements of Ge within GeTe $_{6}$ octahedra. This mechanism must also be important in constraining the stability and dynamics with respect to ferroelectric switching.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Stable phase separation and heterogeneity away from the coexistence curve

T. R. Kirkpatrick and D. Belitz

Phys. Rev. B 93, 144203 (2016) - Published 19 April, 2016

Numerous experiments on solids in the vicinity of first-order phase transitions indicate that the two phases can coexist in equilibrium even away from coexistence curve, which seems to defy basic notions of thermodynamics. Examples include the magnetic quantum phase transition in the helical magnet MnSi, and the Mott transition in the rare-earth nickelates. Muon spin rotation experiments show that the volume fraction of the magnetic phase is less than 100% in a region away from the coexistence curve of the first-order phase transition. The authors provide an explanation for these puzzling observations: imperfections in the solid material can lead to small regions in space that locally favor one phase over the other. As a result, the material will not be homogeneous, but rather contain droplets of one phase within the other. These droplets are stable, and last indefinitely. The system thus never attains the equilibrium state one would naively expect, in which all of the volume would be taken up by one of the phases.

Determination of spin torque efficiencies in heterostructures with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy

Chi-Feng Pai, Maxwell Mann, Aik Jun Tan, and Geoffrey S. D. Beach

Phys. Rev. B 93, 144409 (2016) - Published 8 April, 2016

Current-induced spin-orbit torque (SOT) in magnetic heterostructures with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is an efficient mechanism to control the magnetic moments therein. The authors present a Hall-voltage-based technique that allows them to simultaneously determine two key physical quantities describing SOT in magnetic heterostructures: the SOT efficiency and the magnitude of effective Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction field. With the help of this new technique, the authors find that the spin-orbit torque, apart from the conventional spin-Hall-induced contribution, includes another geometrical component that depends on the shape of the ferromagnetic layer of the heterostructure. This opens a possibility for engineering SOT switching without any aid of external magnetic field, with possible applications for magnetic random access memory applications.

Spin liquid nature in the Heisenberg $J_{1} - J_{2}$ triangular antiferromagnet

Yasir Iqbal, Wen-Jun Hu, Ronny Thomale, Didier Poilblanc, and Federico Becca

Phys. Rev. B 93, 144411 (2016) - Published 11 April, 2016

The search for unconventional phases of matter, such as quantum spin liquids (QSL), is one of the fundamental and most debated issues in condensed matter physics. While gapped spin liquids have been widely studied and are now accepted to exist in nature, the existence and stability of gapless spin liquids is more controversial. The authors present their analysis of the frustrated antiferromagnetic spin model on a triangular lattice, which has been suggested very recently as a platform to host QSLs. They use a combination of several numerical techniques to show that a gapless spin liquid, which can be described via emergent interacting Dirac fermions, proves to be an excellent candidate ground state to describe the frustrated regime for the spin model.

Confinement of superconducting fluctuations due to emergent electronic inhomogeneities

Phys. Rev. B 93, 144509 (2016) - Published 15 April, 2016

How a disordered superconductor evolves into an insulator is still a matter of intense debate. Disorder and reduced screening of Coulomb repulsion may simply break the pairs or, alternatively, the Cooper pairs themselves may localize. Thin disordered NbN films fall between these two extremes and display intermediate scale inhomogeneity with anomalous properties, which are studied by the authors using Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy and transport measurements. While STS exhibits inhomogeneity at distances much larger the typical size of the nanocrystals constituting the NbN films, the conductivity fluctuations near the superconductor-insulator transition have effectively a zero-dimensional character similar to the one previously found only in granular systems.
