被引用回数:1Controlling the spin current lies at the heart of spintronics and its applications. In ferromagnets, the sign of spin currents is fixed once the current direction is determined. However, spin currents in antiferromagnets can possess opposite polarizations, but this requires enormous magnetic fields to lift the degeneracy between the two modes. Therefore, controlling spin currents with opposite polarization is still a challenge. Here we demonstrate the control of spin currents at room temperature by magnon interference in a canted antiferromagnet, namely, haematite that has recently been classified as an altermagnet. Magneto-optical characterization by Brillouin light scattering reveals that the spatial periodicity of the beating patterns is tunable via the microwave frequency. We further observe that the inverse spin Hall voltage changes sign as the frequency is tuned, evincing a frequency-controlled switching of polarization of pure spin currents. Our work highlights the use of antiferromagnetic magnon interference to control spin currents, which substantially extends the horizon for the emerging field of coherent antiferromagnetic spintronics.

被引用回数:3 パーセンタイル:57.75(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)We investigate ultrahigh concentration doping of hydrogen (H) into rutile-TiO(100) single crystals by low-energy (2.5 keV) hydrogen ion beam irradiation at low temperature (LT). While the hydrogen concentration was limited to H
TiO
at 300 K, in situ nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) revealed ultrahigh concentration doping of hydrogen up to H
TiO
by the LT irradiation at 50 K. The large (
8.2%) expansion of the out-of-plane lattice constant suggests that hydrogen occupies interstitial sites in rutile TiO
. Hydrogens of early stage irradiation act as electron donors and induce a large increase in conductivity, which is consistent with theoretical studies in the dilute limit. The nature of excess H was investigated in situ by transport and photoemission measurements. After LT excess H doping and postannealing to room temperature, unusual electrical transport properties were observed while maintaining the ultrahigh H concentration. In situ photoemission measurements show that the excessively doped hydrogens by LT irradiation generate a deeper in-gap state (IGS) of metastable nature. Density functional theory predicts the formation of double neighboring interstitial hydrogens as a possible mechanism for the deeper IGS.

被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:58.81(Physics, Nuclear)We report the mass measurements of neutron-rich isotopes produced via spontaneous fission of Cf using a multireflection time-of-flight mass spectrograph. The mass of
Ce is determined experimentally for the first time. A discrepancy between the experimental and literature values was found for the mass of
Sb, which was previously deduced through indirect measurements. In comparison with several theoretical predictions, both the values and the trend of the mass excesses of
Ce cannot be consistently explained. The wide-range and simultaneous mass measurements of the multireflection time-of-flight mass spectrograph enable us to crosscheck the existing mass data, and the conflict between the measured time-of-flight ratio and the extracted mass would imply the necessity of re-examining them.

assignments were extracted from momentum distributions calculated with the distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA). The resonances at 5516(41) keV in

被引用回数:4 パーセンタイル:74.69(Engineering, Manufacturing)In resistance spot welding (RSW) of Fe and Al alloy, an intermetallic compound (IMC) is formed at the joining interface, and it is known that the joining strength of the joint decreases as the IMC becomes thicker. In this study, the convection behavior in the Al alloy melting zone of an Fe-Al alloy RSW was varied and the effect on the joint characteristics was investigated. For this study, focusing on the electromagnetic force generated in the Al alloy melting zone, the convection behavior in the Al alloy melting zone was changed by adding an external magnetic field using neodymium magnets. In-situ evaluation of the convection behavior using synchrotron radiation and cross-sectional macro-observation of the joint revealed that the addition of an external magnetic field causes a non-axisymmetric change in the convection behavior in the Al alloy melting zone, which results in the deflection of the Al alloy melting zone. The addition of an external magnetic field increases the driving force of convection and homogenizes the temperature field at the joining interface, suggesting that the IMC near the center is formed thin and uniform. Furthermore, from the cross tension test and the observation of the fracture surface of the joint after the test, it was clarified that the CTS of the joint with an external magnetic field was improved by the propagation of cracks into the Al alloy melting zone during the test.

被引用回数:20 パーセンタイル:98.96(Engineering, Mechanical)The distribution and partitioning of solute atoms in age-hardenable aluminum (Al) alloys markedly impact strength, ductility and failure of alloy materials, thus rendering the understanding of dislocation-obstacle (solute-rich features) interactions crucial in the development of a new class of heat-treatable Al alloys. Here, we investigate the slip mechanisms, strain localization and strain hardening of a high Mg-content lightweight AlMgZn-based crossover alloy aged to different conditions with the focus on the dislocation-obstacle interactions. It is found that due to different elemental partitioning between matrix and solute-rich features the interaction of dislocations with obstacles can be drastically different for samples with varying precipitates. The dislocations in the under-aged and near peak-aged samples show predominantly planar slip, which produces strain localization. Whereas in the over-aged sample, gliding dislocations initially bend between adjacent precipitates lying in the slip planes, and subsequently surmount them by local cross slip processes, giving rise to homogeneous slip. It is discovered that strain localization in the form of coarse slip bands induces strain hardening in the under-aged material. To understand the enhanced strain hardening observed in the under-aged sample, four key influencing factors are proposed. In addition, the predicted yield strengths for the solution-treated and artificially aged materials match well with those experimentally measured values.

被引用回数:5 パーセンタイル:33.95(Chemistry, Physical)Cerium oxide (CeO) is well known to be reducible by hydrogen (H
), yet the diffusion and solution properties of hydrogen in ceria at elevated temperatures have remained challenging to evaluate. We therefore fabricated nanometer-thin (
100 nm) cerium oxide films on Si(111) substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and quantitatively investigated the H depth distributions therein by means of resonant
H(
N,
)
C nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) before and after annealing in H
gas at 773-973 K. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) reveal that the as-deposited films exhibit single phase CeO
structure and partially reduced stoichiometry (CeO
). H
annealing does not largely change the H content of the as-deposited films; in all conditions several atomic percent of hydroxyl (OH) are found to exist in a thin (
4 nm) surface layer, whereas stably bound hydrogen in the bulk of the films is almost uniformly distributed and of much smaller quantity (
0.2 at.%) than the oxygen vacancy concentration in the partially reduced ceria. Its low concentration and high thermal stability identify this bulk H species as likely being strongly bound to defects in the polycrystalline films rather than as a hydride species that interacts weakly with O-vacancies. The H diffusion coefficient and activation energy in the ceria films are determined as
10
m
s
at 773-973 K and
1.69 eV, respectively. The observed diffusion activation energy is somewhat larger than theoretical predictions for thermal diffusion of H in stoichiometric bulk CeO
, suggesting that defects and oxygen vacancies in the PLD-fabricated ceria thin films possibly have an impact on the H mobility.

Se abundance during the slow neutron capture process in massive stars. We have performed a new measurement of the
Se radiative neutron capture cross section at the Neutron Time-of-Flight facility at CERN. Resonance capture kernels were derived up to 51 keV and cross sections up to 200 keV.

Our results lead to substantial decreases of 14% and 19% in
