The dynamics of first-order electronic phase transitions in complex transition metal oxides are not well understood but are crucial in understanding the emergent phenomena of electronic phase separation. We show that a manganite system reduced to the scale of its inherent electronic charge-ordered insulating and ferromagnetic metal phase domains allows for the direct observation of single elect...

In sharp contrast to previous studies on FeRh bulk, thin films, and nanoparticles, we report the persistence of ferromagnetic order down to 3 K for size-selected 3.3 nm diameter nanocrystals embedded into an amorphous carbon matrix. The annealed nanoparticles have a B2 structure with alternating atomic Fe and Rh layers. X-ray magnetic dichroism and superconducting quantum interference device me...

As a topological insulator, the quantum Hall (QH) effect is indexed by the Chern and spin-Chern numbers C and Cspin. We have only Cspin = 0 or ± 1/2 in conventional QH systems. We investigate QH effects in generic monolayer honeycomb systems. We search for spin-resolved characteristic patterns by exploring Hofstadter's butterfly diagrams in the lattice theory and fan diagrams in the low-energy ...

We report collective ferromagnetic behavior with high Curie temperatures (T(c)) in Fe dot assemblies supported by the Cu(111) surface. Our ability to tune the average size and spacing of the individual dots allows us to conclude that enhanced magnetic anisotropy cannot account for this high-T(c) ferromagnetic order. Because our Monte Carlo simulations have ruled out the dipolar interaction as t...

a powerful and convenient reaction procedure for the c-n coupling reaction (the buchwald-hartwig reaction), yielding products of n-arylanilines and n-arylamines in both conventional heating and microwave irradiation has been reported. the protocol utilizes a stable and new supper ferromagnetic nanoparticle chelating n-heterocyclic dicarbene palladium(ii) complex (pd-nhc) as catalyst which helps...

The dynamic interplay of transport, electrostatic, and magnetic effects in the resonant tunneling through ferromagnetic quantum wells is theoretically investigated. It is shown that the carrier-mediated magnetic order in the ferromagnetic region not only induces, but also takes part in intrinsic, robust, and sustainable high-frequency current oscillations over a large window of nominally steady...

A study of the magnetocaloric properties of manganites with ferromagnetic and chargeordering states is presented. Under the application of a magnetic field in the vicinity of the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic and paramagnetic-charge order transitions large changes of the magnetic entropy are found, negative or positive, respectively. The physical mechanisms that contribute to the magnetic entropy ...

Ferromagnetism and superconductivity are antagonistic phenomena. Their coexistence implies either a modulated ferromagnetic order parameter on a lengthscale shorter than the superconducting coherence length or a weak exchange coupling between the itinerant superconducting electrons and the localized ordered spins. In some iron based pnictide superconductors the coexistence of ferromagnetism and...

The nature of the ferromagnetic, charge, orbital, and antiferromagnetic order in La0.35Pr0.275Ca0.375MnO3 on the nano- and microscale was investigated by photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) and resonant elastic soft x-ray scattering (RSXS). The structure of the ferromagnetic domains around the Curie temperature T(C) indicates that they nucleate under a high degree of lattice strain, which ...
