Laser-Induced Cooperative Transition in Molecular Electronic Crystal

The competing and non-equilibrium phase transitions, involving dynamic tunability of cooperative electronic and magnetic states in strongly correlated materials, show great promise in quantum sensing and information technology. To date, the stabilization of transient states is still in the preliminary stage, particularly with respect to molecular electronic solids. Here, a dynamic and cooperative phase in potassium-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (K-TCNQ) with the control of pulsed electromagnetic excitation is demonstrated. Simultaneous dynamic and coherent lattice perturbation with 8 ns pulsed laser (532 nm, 15 MW cm -2 , 10 Hz) in such a molecular electronic crystal initiates a stable long-lived (over 400 days) conducting paramagnetic state (≈42 Ωcm), showing the charge–spin bistability over a broad temperature range from 2 to 360 K. Comprehensive noise spectroscopy, in situ high-pressure measurements, electron spin resonance (ESR), theoretical model, and scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) studies provide further evidence that such a transition is cooperative, requiring a dedicated charge–spin–lattice decoupling to activate and subsequently stabilize nonequilibrium phase. Finally, the cooperativity triggered by ultrahigh-strain-rate (above 10 6 s -1 ) pulsed excitation offers a collective control toward the generation and stabilization of strongly correlated electronic and magnetic orders in molecular electronic solids and offers unique electro-magnetic phases with technological promises.

Microwave-Free Dynamic Nuclear Polarization via Sudden Thermal Jumps

Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) presently stands as the preferred strategy to enhance the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance measurements, but its application relies on the use of high-frequency microwave to manipulate electron spins, an increasingly demanding task as the applied magnetic field grows. Here we investigate the dynamics of a system hosting a polarizing agent formed by two distinct paramagnetic centers near a level anticrossing. We theoretically show that nuclear spins polarize efficiently under a cyclic protocol that combines alternating thermal jumps and radio-frequency pulses connecting hybrid states with opposite nuclear and electronic spin alignment. Central to this process is the difference between the spin-lattice relaxation times of either electron spin species, transiently driving the electronic spin bath out of equilibrium after each thermal jump. Without the need for microwave excitation, this route to enhanced nuclear polarization may prove convenient, particularly if the polarizing agent is designed to feature electronic level anticrossings at high magnetic fields.

High-precision chemical quantum sensing in flowing monodisperse microdroplets

A method is presented for high-precision chemical detection that integrates quantum sensing with droplet microfluidics. Using nanodiamonds (ND) with fluorescent nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers as quantum sensors, rapidly flowing microdroplets containing analyte molecules are analyzed. A noise-suppressed mode of optically detected magnetic resonance is enabled by pairing controllable flow with microwave control of NV electronic spins, to detect analyte-induced signals of a few hundredths of a percent of the ND fluorescence. Using this method, paramagnetic ions in droplets are detected with low limit-of-detection using small analyte volumes, with exceptional measurement stability over >10 3 s. In addition, these droplets are used as microconfinement chambers by co-encapsulating ND quantum sensors with various analytes such as single cells, suggesting wide-ranging applications including single-cell metabolomics and real-time intracellular measurements from bioreactors. Important advances are enabled by this work, including portable chemical testing devices, amplification-free chemical assays, and chemical imaging tools for probing reactions within microenvironments.

Ferrimagnetism in EuFe 4 As 12 revealed by 153 Eu NMR and 75 As NQR measurements

Filled skutterudite compound EuFe 4 As 12 shows the highest magnetic ordering temperature of T C =154K among Eu-based skutterudite compounds, but its magnetic ground state has not been determined yet. In this study, we performed 153 Eu nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and 75 As nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements on EuFe 4 As 12 to reveal its magnetic ground state as well as the physical properties from a microscopic point of view. From the temperature and magnetic field dependence of 153 Eu NMR spectrum in the magnetically ordered state, we found that the Eu ions are in Eu 2+ state with a nearly 7 μB corresponding to S=7/2 spins. Combined with the magnetization measurements, which show the reduced saturation moments of 4.5 μB/f.u., we determined the ground magnetic structure in EuFe 4 As 12 to be ferrimagnetic where the Eu 2+ 4f and the Fe 3d ordered moments are ferromagnetically aligned in each sublattice but the moments between the sublattices are antiferromagnetically aligned. We also found the local distortion at the Eu site from the cubic symmetry in the magnetically ordered state. The relationship between the rattling motion of Eu atoms and the local symmetry of the Eu ions is discussed. From the 75 As NQR nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time measurements as well as 153 Eu NMR measurements, we found that the 4f electrons of the Eu ions are well described by the local moment picture in both the magnetic and paramagnetic metallic states.

Absence of strong magnetic fluctuations or interactions in the normal state of LaNiGa 2

Here, we present nuclear magnetic (NMR) and quadrupole (NQR) resonance and magnetization data in the normal state of the topological crystalline superconductor LaNiGa 2 . We find no evidence of significant magnetic fluctuations or enhanced paramagnetism. These results suggest that the time-reversal symmetry breaking previously reported in the superconducting state of this material is not driven by strong electron correlations.

Phonon-Spin Scattering from Unpaired f-electrons in U atoms and It’s Influence on Thermal Transport in Uranium-doped Thorium Dioxide Single Crystals

In this work, impact of low level of uranium (U) atom substitution on thermal conductivity of thorium dioxide (ThO2) is investigated. ThO2 is an electronic insulator with a wide optical band-gap and no unpaired electrons whose thermal transport is governed by phonons. U-substitution introduces unpaired f-electrons resulting in paramagnetic behavior of U-ThO2 at room temperature, which significantly suppresses its thermal conductivity. A single crystal of U-ThO2 with graded composition of U is grown using a hydrothermal synthesis method, and thermal conductivity measurements are performed in regions with uniform composition of U at levels of 0%, 6%, 9% and 16%. Measured thermal conductivity profiles over 77–300 K temperature range are analyzed using an analytical expression for phonon-mediated thermal transport based on Klemens-Callaway model. Temperature dependent thermal conductivity is found to deviate significantly from the Rayleigh scattering trend expected for a simple substitutional point defect with a small perturbation to mass and interatomic forces. With the resonant scattering term, observed large suppression of thermal conductivity at low temperatures can be closely reproduced. Additionally, the extracted phonon-spin coupling constants imply a nonlinear relation of phonon-spin interaction intensity with respect to U doping percentage. Our study reveals how phonon-spin scattering contributed by unpaired f-electrons in U atoms influences thermal transport in the U-ThO2 system.

Defect Engineering in Large‐Scale CVD‐Grown Hexagonal Boron Nitride: Formation, Spectroscopy, and Spin Relaxation Dynamics

Recently, numerous techniques have been reported for generating optically active defects in exfoliated hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), which hold transformative potential for quantum photonic devices. However, achieving on-demand generation of desirable defect types in scalable hBN films remains a significant challenge. Here, it is demonstrated that formation of negative boron vacancy defects, V B − , in suspended, large-area CVD-grown hBN is strongly dependent on the type of bombarding particles (ions, neutrons, and electrons) and irradiation conditions. In contrast to suspended hBN, defect formation in substrate-supported hBN is more complex due to the uncontrollable generation of secondary particles from the substrate, and the outcome strongly depends on the thickness of the hBN. Different defect types are identified by correlating spectroscopic and optically detected magnetic resonance features, distinguishing boron vacancies (formed by light ions and neutrons and emitting at 800 nm) from other optically active defects emitting at 650 nm assigned to anti-site nitrogen vacancy (N B V N ) and reveal the presence of additional “dark” paramagnetic defects that influence spin-lattice relaxation time (T 1 ) and zero-field splitting parameters, all of which strongly depend on the defect density. These results underscore the potential for precisely engineered defect formation in large-scale CVD-grown hBN, paving the way for the scalable fabrication of quantum photonic devices.

Influence of hydrogenation on the vibrational density of states of magnetocaloric LaFe 11.4 Si 1.6 H 1.6

We report on the impact of magnetoelastic coupling on the magnetocaloric properties of LaFe 11.4 Si 1.6 H 1.6 in terms of the vibrational (phonon) density of states (VDOS), which we determined with 57 Fe nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (NRIXS) measurements and with density functional theory (DFT) based first-principles calculations in the ferromagnetic (FM) low-temperature and paramagnetic (PM) high-temperature phase. In experiments and calculations, we observe pronounced differences in the shape of the Fe-partial VDOS between nonhydrogenated and hydrogenated samples. Furthermore, this shows that hydrogen not only shifts the temperature of the first-order phase transition, but also affects the elastic response of the Fe subsystem significantly. In turn, the anomalous redshift of the Fe VDOS, observed by going to the low-volume PM phase, survives hydrogenation. As a consequence, the change in the Fe-specific vibrational entropy ΔS lat across the phase transition has the same sign as the magnetic and electronic contribution. DFT calculations show that the same mechanism, which is a consequence of the itinerant electron metamagnetism associated with the Fe subsystem, is effective in both the hydrogenated and the hydrogen-free compounds. Although reduced by 50% as compared to the hydrogen-free system, the measured change ΔS lat of 3.2 ± 1.9)J/ kg K across the FM-to-PM transition contributes with ~35 % significantly and cooperatively to the total isothermal entropy change ΔS iso . Hydrogenation is observed to induce an overall blueshift of the Fe VDOS with respect to the H-free compound; this effect, together with the enhanced Debye temperature observed, is a fingerprint of the hardening of the Fe sublattice by hydrogen incorporation. In addition, the mean Debye velocity of sound of LaFe 11.4 Si 1.6 H 1.6 was determined from the NRIXS and the DFT data.

Controlled n –Doping of Naphthalene Diimide–Based Two–Dimensional Polymers

Two-dimensional polymers (2DPs) are promising as structurally well-defined, permanently porous, organic semiconductors. However, 2DPs are nearly always isolated as closed shell organic species with limited charge carriers, which leads to low bulk conductivities. Here, we enhance the bulk conductivity of two naphthalene diimide (NDI)-containing 2DP semiconductors by controllably n-doping the NDI units using cobaltocene (CoCp 2 ). Optical and transient microwave spectroscopy reveals that both as-prepared NDI-containing 2DPs are semiconducting with sub-2 eV optical bandgaps and photoexcited charge-carrier lifetimes of tens of nanoseconds. Following reduction with CoCp 2 , both 2DPs largely retain their periodic structures and exhibit optical and electron-spin resonance spectroscopic features consistent with the presence of NDI-radical anions. Here, while the native NDI-based 2DPs are electronically insulating, maximum bulk conductivities of >10 –4 S cm –1 are achieved by substoichiometric levels of n-doping. Density functional theory calculations show that the strongest electronic couplings in these 2DPs exist in the out-of-plane (π-stacking) crystallographic directions, which indicates that cross-plane electronic transport through NDI stacks is primarily responsible for the observed electronic conductivity. Taken together, this study underlines that controlled molecular doping is a useful approach to access structurally well-defined, paramagnetic, 2DP n-type semiconductors with measurable bulk electronic conductivities of interest for electronic or spintronic devices.

Comparison of Ce( iv )/Th( iv )-alkynyl complexes and observation of a trans -influence ligand series for Ce( iv )

Organometallic cerium(iv) complexes have been challenging to isolate and characterize due to the strongly oxidizing nature of the cerium(iv) cation. Herein, we report two cerium(iv) alkynyl complexes, [Ce(TriNOx)(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-SiMe3)] (1-CeTMS) and [Ce(TriNOx)(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-Ph)] (1-CePh) (TriNOx3- = tris(2-tert-butylhydroxylaminato)benzylamine), that include terminal alkyne moieties. The isostructural thorium analogue [Th(TriNOx)(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-SiMe3)] (1-ThTMS) was also synthesized and compared with 1-CeTMS in bond distance, 13C-NMR spectra, vibrational spectra and electronic structure. The Ce-C bond distances were 2.501(3) Å for 1-CePh and 2.513(5) Å for 1-CeTMS on the shorter end of the few reported CeIV-C single bonds (2.478(3)-2.705(2) Å), possibly indicating significant Ce 5d- and 4f-orbital involvement. 13C-NMR spectroscopy was also consistent with Ce-C covalency, with significantly deshielded resonances ranging from 185-213 ppm. Such 13C-NMR shifts demonstrate a strong influence from spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects, corroborated by computational studies. Raman analysis showed ν C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C stretching frequencies of 2000 cm-1 (1-CeTMS) and 2052 cm-1 (1-CePh), indicating the cerium(iv)-alkynyl interaction, compared to the parent HC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CPh (IR = 2105 cm-1 and Raman = 2104 cm-1). L3-edge X-ray absorption measurements revealed a predominant Ce(iv) electronic configuration, and magnetic measurements revealed temperature-independent paramagnetism. Electrochemical studies similarly revealed the electron donating ability of the alkynyl ligands, stronger than either fluoride or imido ligands for the Ce(iv)(TriNOx)-framework, with a cerium(iv/iii) reduction potential of E pc = -1.58 to -1.66 V vs. Fc/Fc+. Evidence for a trans-influence has been observed by evaluating a series including previously reported [CeIV(TriNOx)X]+/0 complexes with axial ligands X = THF, I-, Br-, Cl-, F-, -C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-Ph, -C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-SiMe3, -NH(3,5-(CF3)2-Ar), -OSiPh3, -N(M(L))(3,5-(CF3)2-Ar) [M(L) = Li(TMEDA), K(DME)2 or Cs(2,2,2-crypt)]. These data stand in contrast with previous reports of an inverse trans-influence at cerium(iv) and point to differences in involvement of cerium 4f- versus 5d-orbitals in the electronic structures of the complexes.

Current limitations of solid-state NMR in carbohydrate and cell wall research

High-resolution investigation of cell wall materials has emerged as an important application of biomolecular solid-state NMR (ssNMR). Multidimensional correlation experiments have become a standard method for obtaining sufficient spectral resolution to determine the polymorphic structure of carbohydrates and address biochemical questions regarding the supramolecular organization of cell walls. Here, using plant cellulose and matrix polysaccharides as examples, we will review how the multifaceted complexity of polysaccharide structure is impeding the resonance assignment process and assess the available biochemical and spectroscopic approaches that could circumvent this barrier. We will emphasize the ineffectiveness of the current methods in reconciling the ever-growing dataset and deriving structural information. We will evaluate the protocols for achieving efficient and homogeneous hyperpolarization across the cell wall material using magic-angle spinning dynamic nuclear polarization (MAS-DNP). Critical questions regarding the line-broadening effects of cell wall molecules at cryogenic temperature and by paramagnetic biradicals will be considered. Finally, the MAS-DNP method will be placed into a broader context with other structural characterization techniques, such as cryo-electron microscopy, to advance ssNMR research in carbohydrate and cell wall biomaterials.

Preferred Spin Excitations in the Bilayer Iron-Based Superconductor $CaK(Fe_{0.96}Ni_{0.04})_4As_4$ with Spin-Vortex Crystal Order

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is a key to understand the magnetically driven superconductivity in iron-based superconductors, where both local and itinerant electrons are present and the orbital angular momentum is not completely quenched. Here, we report a neutron scattering study on the bilayer compound CaK(Fe 0.96 Ni 0.04 ) 4 As 4 with superconductivity coexisting with a noncollinear spin-vortex crystal magnetic order that preserves the tetragonal symmetry of the Fe-Fe plane. In the superconducting state, two spin resonance modes with odd and even L symmetries due to the bilayer coupling are found similar to the undoped compound CaKFe 4 As 4 but at lower energies. Polarization analysis reveals that the odd mode is c-axis polarized, and the low-energy spin anisotropy can persist to the paramagnetic phase at high temperature, which closely resembles other systems with in-plane collinear and c-axis biaxial magnetic orders. Overall, these results provide the missing piece of the puzzle on the SOC effect in iron-pnictide superconductors, and also establish a common picture of c-axis preferred magnetic excitations below T c regardless of the details of magnetic pattern or lattice symmetry.

Impact of dynamic Jahn-Teller effect on magnetic excitations, lattice vibration, and thermal conductivity in U 𝑥 ⁢T⁢h 1−𝑥 ⁡O 2 system

Vibrational and magnetic properties of single-crystal uranium-thorium dioxide (U 𝑥 ⁢T⁢h 1−𝑥⁡ O 2 ) with a full range of 0 < 𝑥 < 1 are investigated. Thorium dioxide is a diamagnet whose thermal properties are governed by lattice vibration. The addition of paramagnetic uranium ions leads to the emergence of magnetic effects that alter the thermophysical properties noticeably even at room temperature. The interaction of phonons with magnetic moments of uranium 5⁢𝑓 electrons mediated by magnetoelastic coupling results in an anomalous low-temperature thermal conductivity profile. Analysis of the magnetic susceptibility measurements indicates a departure from the Curie-Weiss relationship characteristic of noninteracting paramagnetic ions, previously associated with the dynamic Jahn-Teller (DJT) effect characterized by coupling between spin and the oxygen sublattice. The T 2⁢g Raman peak position follows a nonlinear trend as a function of uranium concentration and hints that these Raman active optical modes play a role in either DJT or in mediating quadrupole-quadrupole interactions. A first-principle-based thermal transport model is implemented to explain the low-temperature transport measurements, where the anomalous reduction is attributed to phonon-spin resonant scattering. The interplay between spins and phonons is also captured using high-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) measurements of phonon linewidths. Our results provide insights into the phonon interactions with the magnetic excitations governing DJT effect and impacting the low-temperature thermal transport processes in this material system. Furthermore, these findings have implications for understanding low-temperature thermal transport and magnetic properties in advanced materials for information processing and energy applications.

Spectrally sharp magnetic excitations above the critical temperature in a frustrated Weyl semimetal

The rare-earth α-pyrochlore iridates are a prospective class of conducting frustrated magnets where electronic correlations, large spin-orbit coupling, and geometrical frustration interplay, leading to a rich set of magnetic and electronic phases. Despite their intriguing properties, the magnetic order and excitations in this fundamental class of topological quantum materials remain poorly understood due to challenges in growing large single crystals and insufficient microscopic information on their temperature-dependent phases. Here, by combining state-of-the-art thin-film synthesis, resonant elastic and inelastic X-ray scattering, spin wave analysis, and dynamical spin susceptibility calculations, we unequivocally reveal the presence of spectrally sharp, gapped magnetic excitations in Y 2 Ir 2 O 7 that surprisingly persist well above the Néel transition temperature, signaling the presence of a quasi-universal regime connected to fluctuations on frustrated lattices. This finding implies the existence of a highly unusual cooperative paramagnetic (CP) phase above the ordering temperature and offers an explanation for the puzzling high-temperature magnetic behavior observed across the family of metallic pyrochlore crystals. Understanding such magnetic excitations at technologically relevant temperatures opens up possibilities for novel topological spintronic devices.

Nanoscale heterogeneity induced by nonmagnetic Zn dopants in the quantum critical metal CeCoIn 5 : 115 In NQR/NMR and 59 Co NMR study

We report antiferromagnetism in a prototypical quantum critical metal CeCoIn 5 is known to be induced by slight substitutions of nonmagnetic Zn atoms for In. In nominally 7% Zn-substituted CeCoIn 5 , an antiferromagnetic (AFM) state coexists with heavy fermion superconductivity. Heterogeneity of the electronic states is investigated in Zn-doped CeCoIn 5 by means of nuclear quadrupole and magnetic resonances (NQR and NMR). Site-dependent NQR relaxation rates 1/T 1 indicate that the AFM state is locally nucleated around Zn substituents in the matrix of a heavy fermion state, and percolates through the bulk at the AFM transition temperature T N . At lower temperatures, an anisotropic superconducting (SC) gap below the SC transition temperature Tc, and the SC state permeates through the AFM regions via a SC proximity effect. Applying an external magnetic field induces a spin-flop transition near 5T, reducing the volume of the AFM regions. Consequently, a short-ranged inhomogeneous AFM state survives and coexists with a paramagnetic Fermi liquid state at high fields.

Polaron and Exciton Delocalization in Oligomers of High-Performance Polymer PTB7

A key characteristic of organic photovoltaic cells is the efficient charge separation in the active layer. Sufficient delocalization of the positive polaron in organic photovoltaics is considered essential for the effective separation of the opposite charges and the suppression of recombination. Here we use light-induced EPR and ENDOR spectroscopy combined with DFT calculations to determine the electronic structure of the positive polaron in PTB7-type oligomers. Utilizing the superior spectral resolution of high-frequency (130 GHz) D-band EPR, the principal components of the g tensors were determined. Pulsed ENDOR spectroscopy at X-band allowed the measurement of H-1 hyperfine coupling constants. A comparison of g tensors and H-1 hyperfine coupling constants of the PTB7-type oligomers with the high-performance PTB7 polymer revealed a delocalization of the positive polaron in the polymer over about four monomeric units, corresponding to about 45 angstrom in length. Our current study thus not only determines the polaron delocalization length in PTB7 but also validates the approach combining EPR/ENDOR spectroscopy with DFT-calculated magnetic resonance parameters. This is of importance in those cases where oligomers of defined length are not easily obtained. In addition, the delocalization of the neutral triplet exciton was also determined in the oligomers and compared with polymer PTB7. The analysis revealed that the neutral triplet exciton is substantially more delocalized than the positive polaron, exceeding 10 monomeric units.
