The complex magnetic ordering of parent compounds of most unconventional superconductors is crucial for the understanding of high-temperature superconductivity (SC). Within this framework, we have performed temperature-dependent magnetotransport experiments on a single crystal of SmFeAsO, a parent compound of iron pnictide superconductors. We observe multiple features in the measured transport properties at temperatures below the antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering of Sm, T

We observe multiple features in the measured transport properties at temperatures below the antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering of Sm, T<TNSm , which evolve with in-plane magnetic field, suggesting a rich variety of metamagnetic transitions never before observed in this compound. Considering that transport mainly involves Fe d orbitals at the Fermi level, these findings suggest that the features originate from magnetic transitions of the Fe moments sublattice, which in turn may be induced by magnetic transitions of the Sm moments sublattice via the interaction between Fe and Sm moments. We outline a possible scenario in which the Fe moments, strongly affected by the Sm ordering below T NSm, reorder to an in-plane canted AFM structure, which is washed out by the application of an in-plane magnetic field up to 9 T. Our work shows that transport properties are a valuable tool for investigating magnetic ordering in iron pnictide parent compounds, where the interplay of magnetism and SC is believed to be the origin of high-temperature SC.","PeriodicalId":16520,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonlinear Optical Physics & Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88027344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mixed valence Cr3+/Cr4+ compound NaCr2O4, hosts a plethora of unconventional electronic properties. In the present study, muon spin rotation/relaxation ( μ+ SR) and high-resolution time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction measurements were carried out on high-quality samples to clarify the complex magnetic ground state of this unique material. We identified a commensurate canted antiferromagnetic order (C-AFM) with a canting angle of the Cr spin axial vector equal to θc=(8.8±0.5)∘ , and an estimated Cr moment μCrC∼(4.30±0.01)μB . Such an unusually large value of μCrC is compatible with the existence of high-spin Cr sites created by the presence of an unconventional negative charge transfer state in NaCr2O4. In addition to the C-AFM structure, a novel magnetic supercell was also revealed. Such supercell display an incommensurate (IC)-AFM propagation vector (0 0 12−δ ), having a Cr moment μCrIC=(2.20±0.03)μB . It is suggested that the C-AFM and IC-AFM modulations have two different electronic origins, being due to itinerant and localized contributions to the magnetic moment respectively. Finally, the direct measurement of the magnetic order parameter for the C-AFM structure provided a value of the critical exponent β=0.245≈14 , suggesting a non conventional critical behavior for the magnetic phase transition in NaCr2O4.

Ongoing developments in machine vision, wearables, and the Internet of Things have led to strong demand for easy-to-fabricate, color-selective photodetectors. Narrowband-absorption-type (NBA) printable organic photodetectors provide an attractive solution, given their spectral robustness and fabrication simplicity. However, a key remaining challenge to realizing their potential is to concurrently achieve high photoconversion efficiency and spectral selectivity. Herein, this challenge is tackled by investigating a non-fullerene-based route to green-selective, solution-based photodetectors. Soluble phthalocyanine acceptor PhO-Cl6BsubPc is considered due to its high absorption selectivity to green photons. Blends with soluble quinacridones are pursued to realize the ideal of a donor:acceptor layer selectively absorbing the target photons throughout its volume. A latent-pigment route to the solution-based deposition of linear trans-quinacridone (QA) enables well-intermixed QA:PhO-Cl6BsubPc layers. Green-selective photodetectors with cutting-edge performance are thus realized, achieving a 25% increase in external quantum efficiency compared to all prior solution-based NBA implementations, as well as a nearly five-fold enhancement of the green-to-blue spectral rejection ratio. The merit of this approach is further illustrated by comparison with the corresponding fullerene-based photodetectors. By demonstrating an approach to solution-based NBA photodetectors with cutting-edge photoconversion efficiency and spectral selectivity, this study represents an important step toward printable, high-performance organic color sensors and imagers.

Motivated by the discovery of superconductivity in KTaO3-based heterostructures, we study a pairing mechanism based on spin-orbit assisted coupling between the conduction electrons and the ferroelectric (FE) modes present in the material. We use ab initio frozen-phonon computations to show a linear-in-momentum Rashba-like coupling with a strong angular dependence in momentum for the lower j=3/2 manifold, deviating from the conventional isotropic Rashba model. This implies the Rashba-like interaction with the polar modes has substantial L = 3 cubic harmonic corrections, which we quantify for each electronic band. The strong anisotropy of the Rashba interaction is captured by a microscopic toy model for the t2g electrons. We find its origin to be the angular dependence in electronic momentum imposed by the kinetic term on the degenerate j=3/2 manifold. A comparison between the toy model and ab initio results indicates that additional symmetry allowed terms beyond odd-parity spin-conserving inter-orbital hopping processes are needed to describe the Rashba-like polar interaction between the electrons and the soft FE mode.

The origins of the spin-orbit torque (SOT) at ferromagnet/topological insulator interfaces are incompletely understood. The theory has overwhelmingly focussed on the Edelstein effect due to the surface states in the presence of a scalar scattering potential. We investigate here the contribution to the SOT due to extrinsic spin-orbit (SO) scattering of the surface states, focusing on the case of an out-of-plane magnetization. We show that SO scattering brings about a sizable renormalization of the field-like SOT, which exceeds 20 % at larger strengths of the extrinsic SO parameter. The resulting SOT exhibits a maximum as a function of the Fermi energy, magnetization, and extrinsic SO strength. The field-like SOT decreases with increasing disorder strength, while the damping-like SOT is independent of the impurity density. With experimental observation in mind we also determine the role of extrinsic SO scattering on the anomalous Hall effect. Our results suggest extrinsic SO scattering is a significant contributor to the surface SOT stemming from the Edelstein effect when the magnetization is out of the plane.

Organic–metal and organic–organic interfaces account for the functionality of virtually all organic optoelectronic applications and the energy-level alignment is of particular importance for device performance. Often the energy-level alignment is simply estimated by metal work functions and ionization energies and electron affinities of the organic materials. However, various interfacial effects such as push back, mirror forces (also known as screening), electronic polarization or charge transfer affect the energy-level alignment. We perform x-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS and UPS) measurements on copper-hexadecafluorophthalocyanine (F16CuPc) and titanyl-phthalocyanine (TiOPc) thin films on Ag(111) and use TiOPc bilayers to decouple F16CuPc layers from the metal substrate. Even for our structurally well-characterized model interfaces and by stepwise preparation of vacuum-sublimed samples, a precise assignment of vacuum-level and energy-level shifts remains challenging. Nevertheless, our results provide guidelines for the interpretation of XPS and UPS data of organic–metal and organic–organic interfaces.

Chalcogenide glasses (ChGs) possess various outstanding properties enabling essential applications, such as optical discs, infrared cameras, and thermal imaging systems. Despite their ubiquitous usage, these materials’ composition–property relationships remain poorly understood, impeding the pace of their discovery. Here, we use a large experimental dataset comprising ∼24 000 glass compositions made of 51 distinct elements from the periodic table to develop machine learning (ML) models for predicting 12 properties, namely, annealing point, bulk modulus, density, Vickers hardness, Littleton point, Young’s modulus, shear modulus, softening point, thermal expansion coefficient, glass transition temperature, liquidus temperature, and refractive index. These models are the largest regarding the compositional space and the number of properties covered for ChGs. Further, we use Shapley additive explanations, a game theory-based algorithm, to explain the properties’ compositional control by quantifying each element’s role toward model predictions. This work provides a powerful tool for interpreting the model’s prediction and designing new ChG compositions with targeted properties. Finally, using the trained ML models, we develop several glass-selection charts that can potentially aid in the rational design of novel ChGs for various applications.

The external quantum efficiency (EQE) of quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs) needs improvement for more power-efficient devices. One of the main limitations is the low light extraction efficiency (LEE). Generally, only 20% of the light that is generated inside the emissive layer makes its way out of the device into air, with the rest being lost to waveguide and substrate modes and surface plasmon polaritons. Different photonics structures have been previously tested to help extract the light that is trapped inside the device. Here we report a photonics design which is a combination of nanopillars and grating structures for improving the LEE of QLEDs. The effect of changing the nanopillar height, radius and material has been studied. It was found that ZnO nanopillars of 500 nm pitch, 200 nm height and 400 nm width alongside 150 nm width and pitch grating structure can increase the LEE at 460 nm by 50% and at 640 nm by 20%. It was also found that different materials can help extract light at different wavelengths. TiO2 nanopillars increased the extraction efficiency at ∼590 nm region which was not observed by the other materials. As around 19% of the world’s electricity consumption is due to lighting applications, increasing the LEE can significantly reduce the power consumption.

The electronic properties of Fe-based superconductors are drastically affected by deformations on their crystal structure introduced by doping and pressure. Here we study single crystals of FeSe 1−x S x and reveal that local crystal deformations such as atomic-scale defects impact the spectral shape of the electronic core level states of the material. By means of scanning tunneling microscopy we image S-doping induced defects as well as diluted dumbbell defects associated with Fe vacancies. We have access to the electronic structure of the samples by means of x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and show that the spectral shape of the Se core levels can only be adequately described by considering a principal plus a minor component of the electronic states. We find this result for both pure and S-doped samples, irrespective that in the latter case the material presents extra crystal defects associated to doping with S atoms. We argue that the second component in our XPS spectra is associated with the ubiquitous dumbbell defects in FeSe that are known to entail a significant modification of the electronic clouds of surrounding atoms.

We argue that the second component in our XPS spectra is associated with the ubiquitous dumbbell defects in FeSe that are known to entail a significant modification of the electronic clouds of surrounding atoms.","PeriodicalId":16520,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonlinear Optical Physics & Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82233987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AV3Sb5 (A = Cs, K, Rb) is a recently discovered superconducting system ( Tc∼0.9 –2.5 K) in which the vanadium atoms adopt the kagome structure. Intriguingly, these systems enter a charge-density-wave (CDW) phase ( TCDW∼80 –100 K), and further evidence shows that the time-reversal symmetry is broken in the CDW phase. Concurrently, the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) has been observed in KV3Sb5 and CsV3Sb5 inside the novel CDW phase. Here, we report a comprehensive study of a high-quality RbV3Sb5 single crystal with magnetotransport measurements. Our data demonstrate the emergence of the AHE in RbV3Sb5 when the CDW state develops. The magnitude of the anomalous Hall resistivity in the low temperature limit is comparable to the reported values in KV3Sb5 and CsV3Sb5. The magnetoresistance channel further reveals a rich spectrum of quantum oscillation frequencies, many of which have not been reported before. In particular, a large quantum oscillation frequency (2235 T), which occupies ∼56% of the Brillouin zone area, was recorded. For the quantum oscillation frequencies with sufficient signal-to-noise ratio, we further perform field angle-dependent measurements, and our data indicate two-dimensional Fermi surfaces in RbV3Sb5. Our results provide indispensable information for understanding the AHE and band structure in kagome metal AV3Sb5.
