Title: Versatile strain-tuning of modulated long-period magnetic structures

Abstract

We report the design of a versatile strain cell for small angle neutron scattering (SANS) unique in its ability to select the application of either or tensile compressive strain in-situ. Strain is applied to the sample via two independently actuated copper pressure transducers that can each apply a mechanical force of 270 N onto the sample using helium gas pressure. The strain cell is optimized for magnetic SANS on modulated long-period magnetic structures, and is therefore compact enough to t in common sample environments, such as low-temperature cryostats and superconducting magnets. In this report we have successfully utilized the described strain cell to investigate the response of the skyrmion lattice in MnSi.

MAGNETIC NEUTRON SCATTERING

Book ZALIZNYAK, I; LEE, S

Much of our understanding of the atomic-scale magnetic structure and the dynamical properties of solids and liquids was gained from neutron-scattering studies. Elastic and inelastic neutron spectroscopy provided physicists with an unprecedented, detailed access to spin structures, magnetic-excitation spectra, soft-modes and critical dynamics at magnetic-phase transitions, which is unrivaled by other experimental techniques. Because the neutron has no electric charge, it is an ideal weakly interacting and highly penetrating probe of matter's inner structure and dynamics. Unlike techniques using photon electric fields or charged particles (e.g., electrons, muons) that significantly modify the local electronic environment, neutron spectroscopy allows determination ofmore »« less

Effect of negative chemical pressure on the prototypical itinerant magnet MnSi

Journal Article Dhital, C.; Khan, M.; Saghayezhian, M.; ... - Physical Review B

The evolution of the magnetic and charge transport properties of the itinerant magnetic metal MnSi with the substitution of Al and Ga on the Si site is investigated. We observe an increase in unit cell volume indicating that both Al and Ga substitutions create negative chemical pressure. There are substantial increases in the Curie temperature and the ordered moment demonstrating that the substitutions give the magnetism a stronger itinerant character. The substitutions also increase the range of temperature and field where the skyrmion phase is stable due to a change in the character of the magnetism. In contrast to themore »« less

Turn-key module for neutron scattering with sub-micro-eV resolution.

Journal Article Georgii, R; Brandl, G; HauBler, W; ... - Appl. Phys. Lett.

We report the development of a compact turn-key module that boosts the resolution in quasielastic neutron scattering by several orders of magnitude down to the low sub-micro-eV range. It is based on a pair of neutron resonance spin flippers that generate a well defined temporal intensity modulation, also known as Modulation of IntEnsity by Zero Effort (MIEZE). The module may be used under versatile conditions, in particular, in applied magnetic fields and for depolarizing and incoherently scattering samples. We demonstrate the power of MIEZE in studies of the helimagnetic order in MnSi under applied magnetic fields.

A versatile ultra high vacuum sample stage with six degrees of freedom

Journal Article Ellis, A.; Tromp, R. - Review of Scientific Instruments

We describe the design and practical realization of a versatile sample stage with six degrees of freedom. The stage was designed for use in a Low Energy Electron Microscope, but its basic design features will be useful for numerous other applications. The degrees of freedom are X, Y, and Z, two tilts, and azimuth. All motions are actuated in an ultrahigh vacuum base pressure environment by piezoelectric transducers with integrated position sensors. The sample can be load-locked. During observation, the sample is held at a potential of −15 kV, at temperatures between room temperature and 1500 °C, and in backgroundmore »« less

Large tetragonality and room temperature ferroelectricity in compressively strained CaTiO₃ thin films

Journal Article Haislmaier, Ryan; Lu, Yanfu; Lapano, Jason; ... - APL Materials

We report that ferroelectricity and piezoelectricity are desirable for a variety of high-temperature applications such as actuators and sensors in heat engines, high-temperature manufacturing, and space technologies; however, the number of such material candidates is currently limited. Here, we demonstrate that CaTiO₃, the first discovered perovskite mineral that is abundantly found in the Earth, as a non-polar bulk form, becomes a high-temperature ferroelectric oxide under compression. A strain-phase-temperature diagram of CaTiO₃ is created by growing a series of thin films with a range of compressive and tensile strains. Using temperature dependent optical second harmonic generation analysis, we show that tensilemore »« less
