Uniaxial stress study of spin and charge stripes in La1.875Ba0.125CuO4 by 139La NMR and 63Cu NQR

We study the response of spin and charge order in single crystals of La1.875Ba0.125CuO4 to uniaxial stress, through 139La nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and 63Cu nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR), respectively. In unstressed La1.875Ba0.125CuO4, the low-temperature tetragonal structure onsets below TLTT = 57 K, while the charge order and the spin order transition temperatures are TCO = 54 K and TSO = 37 K, respectively. We find that uniaxial stress along the [110] lattice direction strongly suppresses TCO and TSO, but has little effect on TLTT. In other words, under stress along [110] a large splitting (≈ 21 K) opens between TCO and TLTT, showing that these transitions are not tightly linked. On the other hand, stress along [100] causes a slight suppression of TLTT but has essentially no effect on TCO and TSO. Magnetic field H along [110] stabilizes the spin order: the suppression of TSO under stress along [110] is slower under H ∥ [110] than H ∥ [001]. We develop a Landau free energy model and interpret our findings as an interplay of symmetry breaking terms driven by the orientation of spins.

‘Our mission matters’: Detonator Production honors the stars and stripes

At TA-22, home to the Detonator Production (DP) division, elk are a common sight among the trees and grasses. Now, so is Old Glory. More than 18 months ago, COVID-19 forced much of our workforce to change how we do business. Although the transition allowed daily operations to continue, comradery was difficult to maintain while employees worked from home or under modified on-site conditions.

Manipulation of Light with Magneto-optic Stripe Domain Films

Magnetic diffraction grating materials, being developed to provide a simple means of deflecting light in a two dimensional, solid state fashion are discussed. The most promising material, for several applications, appears to be bismuth substituted iron garnet films in epitaxial form. Calculations indicate that deflection efficiency greater than 60% is possible in the near infrared region of the spectrum. Within the field of view of the deflector, measurements predict that 105 resolvable spots can be expected. Applications include: (1) general purpose deflection of free laser light, (2) image processing of extended sources such as transparencies, (3) programmable lensing, and (4) fiber optic matrix switching.

Stripe filters on multispectral linear arrays

Dielectric interference filters deposited directly on top of existing 200 element charge coupled device linear imaging arrays were designed, fabricated and evaluated. The optical performance of the filters was verified with regard to crosstalk between adjacent detector elements. The filters showed an average in-band transmittance greater than 80% and a total out of band transmittance of less than 5%. Filter stability was adequate for operation in a space environment. The filter elements were definable in 12 to 25 micron element size compatible with existing silicon detectors. These type of measurement were made: (1) spectral transmission of the filter as deposited on witness plates; (2) spectral response of the silicon sensing device; (3) any optical interaction between filter and sensing device; (4) the response of the filter/sensor combination; and (5) repeatability and uniformity of filter characteristics. Detailed discussion of these evaluations are given.
