The extended
-ray halo surrounding an old pulsar wind nebula (PWN) is an ideal place to investigate both theacceleration and diffusion processes of cosmic rays. In this work, we report the
-ray halo observed with high precision by the Tibet AS
experiment at the world/s highest-energy above 100 tera-electron volt (TeV). We determined the acceleration limit at about 100 TeV, beyond which the electron/positron flux suppresses exponentially,while we measured the morphology of the
-ray halo at three different energies. We also found that the energy dependence of the diffusion coefficient is consistent with the Kolmogorov magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence and determined the turbulence property at scales smaller than 1 parsec. The measurements indicate thatthe energy of electrons/positrons is insufficient to amplify the strong MHD turbulence around itself, thereby suppressing the diffusion coefficient.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Multidisciplinary Sciences)We report two-fold nonreciprocal angular magnetoresistance in the tetragonal layered Dirac material SrMnBi
with parity-time-symmetric antiferromagnetic order in its Mn-Bi layers. By quantitatively modelling the angular and field dependencies using a phenomenological framework, we reveal that the observed nonreciprocal interlayer resistivity arises from the current-induced breaking of four-fold rotoinversion symmetry of the Dirac valleys in the Bi square net adjacent to the Mn-Bi layer. Furthermore, we demonstrate the alignment of parity-time-symmetric antiferromagnetic domains via current-field cooling, achieving electric-magnetic control of the f-wave polarity in momentum space. The observed switchable nonreciprocal transport associated with current-tuneable valley nematicity paves the way for novel antiferromagnetic spintronic and valleytronic applications.

We demonstrate the hybridization of confined phonons and finite-wavelength magnons, forming a magnon-polaron cavity with tunable coupling strength and spatial confinement controlled by the applied magnetic field direction. Our platform consists of a low-loss, single-crystalline yttrium iron garnet (YIG) film coupled to a zinc oxide (ZnO)-based surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator. This heterostructure enables exceptionally low magnon-polaron dissipation rates below
/2
1.5 MHz. The observed mode hybridization is well described by a phenomenological model incorporating the spatial profiles of magnon and phonon modes. Furthermore, we report the first observation of Rabi-like oscillations in a coupled SAW-spin wave system, revealing the dynamical formation of magnon-polarons in the time domain. These results establish a platform for engineering hybrid spin-acoustic excitations in extended magnetic systems and enable time-resolved studies of magnon-polaron states.

被引用回数:4 パーセンタイル:82.89(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Spin Berry curvature characterizes the band topology as the spin counterpart of Berry curvature and is crucial in generating novel spintronics functionalities. By breaking the crystalline inversion symmetry, the spin Berry curvature is expected to be significantly enhanced; this enhancement will increase the intrinsic spin Hall effect in ferromagnetic materials and, thus, the spin-orbit torques (SOTs). However, this intriguing approach is not applied to devices; generally, the spin Hall effect in ferromagnet/heavy-metal bilayer is used for SOT magnetization switching. Here, SOT-induced partial magnetization switching is demonstrated in a single layer of a single-crystalline Weyl oxide SrRuO
(SRO) with a small current density of
. Detailed analysis of the crystal structure in the seemingly perfect periodic lattice of the SRO film reveals barely discernible oxygen octahedral rotations with angles of
near the interface with a substrate. Tight-binding calculations indicate that a large spin Hall conductivity is induced around small gaps generated at band crossings by the synergy of inherent spin-orbit coupling and band inversion due to the rotations, causing magnetization reversal. The results indicate that a minute atomic displacement in single-crystal films can induce strong intrinsic SOTs that are useful for spin-orbitronics devices.

被引用回数:17 パーセンタイル:98.93(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Low yield strength and the presence of Luders bands constitute principal impediments to the extensive applications of conventional medium Mn steels with a duplex microstructure of ferrite and austenite. Flash heating and the concept of chemical heterogeneity have been combined to engineer a duplex austenite-martensite microstructure in medium Mn steels, which has proven effective in augmenting the yield strength and mitigating the occurrence of Luders bands. However, the underlying mechanisms remain ambiguous. In the present work, the effect of austenite stability on yielding behavior was systematically investigated in an austenite-martensite duplex medium Mn steel. Austenite stability was identified as the critical factor governing yield strength, where reduced stability promotes early stage deformation induced martensite transformation, thereby decreasing yield strength. Diminished austenite stability may as well induce enhanced work hardening, thereby result in the inclination and eventual elimination of yield plateau, concomitant with the disappearance of Luders bands. These observations expand our current understanding of the yielding behavior in medium Mn steels and offer insights for the design of other advanced high strength steels.

被引用回数:5 パーセンタイル:93.23(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Mantle processes control plate tectonics and exert an influence on biogeochemical cycles. However, the proportion of the mantle accessible to sampling is minimal, and a significant portion of our knowledge is derived from xenoliths, orogenic peridotite massifs exposed on land, and abyssal peridotites. Sampling of in-situ sections of the mantle is extremely challenging because they are buried beneath a magmatic crust with its sedimentary cover. In this study, we report the lithological characteristics of two mantle sections from an embryonic, very young, (~3 Ma) oceanic basin drilled by the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) in the central Tyrrhenian Sea. In contrast to observations made in drilled mantle sections from Mid Ocean Ridges (MORs) and hyperextended passive margins such as those in Iberia and Newfoundland, our findings revealed an exceptionally heterogeneous and generally fertile mantle. This represents a snapshot of young oceanic basement in a continental rifting environment characterised by general igneous starvation. The lithological heterogeneity ranges from fertile lherzolites to depleted harzburgites and dunites, variably interlayered with pyroxenites. Plagioclase- and clinopyroxene-rich layers, hydrous potassic magmatic veins, and gabbroic intrusions in these peridotites indicate substantial mantle re-fertilization and delayed inception of magmatic crust. The diverse lithological recovery indicates that magma-poor rifts do not necessarily require a chemically depleted mantle, too refractory to melt. Instead, we propose that deep lithospheric processes such as mantle refertilisation and prolonged lithospheric thinning hinder melt focusing and the formation of a steady-state spreading centre.

, and relate this to visible energy in the detector,
. The missing energy, which is naively expected to be zero in the absence of nuclear effects (e.g., nucleon separation energy, Fermi momenta, and final-state interactions), is uniquely sensitive to many aspects of the interaction, and has previously been inaccessible with neutrinos. The shape-only, differential cross section measurement reported, based on a
pure double-coincidence kaon decay-at-rest signal (621 total events), provides detailed insight into neutrino-nucleus interactions, allowing even the nuclear orbital shell of the struck nucleon to be inferred. The measurement provides an important benchmark for models and event generators at hundreds of MeV neutrino energies, characterized by the difficult-to-model transition region between neutrino-nucleus and neutrino-nucleon scattering, and relevant for applications in nuclear physics, neutrino oscillation measurements, and Type-II supernova studies.

GeTe
(FGT) exhibits a variety of remarkable properties and has garnered significant attention. Herein, we have for the first time created a nanomesh structure-a honeycomb-like array of hexagonal nanopores-with the zigzag pore-edge atomic structure on thin FGT flakes with and without oxidation of the pore edges. It is revealed that the magnitude of ferromagnetism (FM) significantly increases in both samples compared with bulk flakes without nanomeshes. Critical temperature annealing results in the formation of zigzag pore edges and interpore zigzag-edge nanoribbons. We unveil that the non-oxide (O) termination of the Fe dangling bonds on these zigzag edges enhances FM behavior, while O-termination suppresses this FM by introducing antiferromagnetic behavior through edge O-Fe coupling. FGT nanomeshes hold promise for the creation of strong FM and their effective application in magnetic and spintronic systems.

Identification of the hydrogen lattice location and its amount in crystals is key to understanding and controlling the hydrogen-induced properties. Combining nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) with the ion channeling technique, we experimentally determined the locations of H and D in epitaxial nanofilms of titanium hydrides from the analysis of the two-dimensional angular mappings of NRA yields. Here we show that 11 at% of H are located at the octahedral site with the remaining H atoms in the tetrahedral site. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the structures with the partial octahedral site occupation are stabilized by the Fermi level shift and Jahn-Teller effect induced by hydrogen. In contrast, D was found to solely occupy the tetrahedral site owing to the mass effect on the zero-point vibrational energy. These findings suggest that site occupation of hydrogen can be controlled by changing the isotope mixture ratio, which leads to promising manifestation of novel hydrogen-related phenomena.

The Rare-RI Ring employs the isochronous mass spectrometry technique with the goal to achieve a relative mass precision of 10
within a measurement time of less than 1 ms. The performance of the facility was demonstrated through mass measurements of neutron-rich nuclei with well-known masses. Velocity or magnetic rigidity is measured for every particle prior to its injection into the ring, wherein its revolution time is accurately determined. The latter quantity is used to determine the mass of the particle, while the former one is needed for nonisochronicity corrections. Mass precisions on the order of 10

(STO) substrate, a perovskite oxide material known for its high dielectric constant (epsilon), facilitates the observation of various (high-temperature) quantum phenomena. A quantum Hall topological insulating (QHTI) state, comprising two copies of QH states with antiparallel two ferromagnetic edge-spin overlap protected by the U(1) axial rotation symmetry of spin polarization, has recently been achieved in low magnetic field (B) even as high as approximate to 100 K in a monolayer graphene/thin hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) spacer placed on an STO substrate, thanks to the high epsilon of STO. Despite the use of the heavy STO substrate, however, proximity-induced quantum spin Hall (QSH) states in 2D TI phases, featuring a topologically protected helical edge spin phase within time-reversal-symmetry, is not confirmed. Here, with the use of a monolayer hBN spacer, it is revealed the coexistence of QSH (at B = 0T) and QHTI (at B not equal 0) states in the same single graphene sample placed on an STO, with a crossover regime between the two at low B. It is also classified that the different symmetries of the two nontrivial helical edge spin phases in the two states lead to different interaction with electron-puddle quantum dots, caused by a local surface pocket of the STO, in the crossover regime, resulting in a spin dephasing only for the QHTI state. The results obtained using STO substrates open the doors to investigations of novel QH spin states with different symmetries and their correlations with quantum phenomena. This exploration holds value for potential applications in spintronic devices.
