On the Onsager-Casimir reciprocal relations in a tilted Weyl semimetal

The Onsager-Casimir reciprocal relations are a fundamental symmetry of nonequilibrium statistical systems. Here we study an unusual chirality-dependent Hall effect in a tilted Weyl semimetal Co₃Sn₂S₂ with broken time-reversal symmetry. It is confirmed that the reciprocal relations are satisfied. Since two Berry curvature effects, an anomalous velocity and a chiral chemical potential, contribute to the observed Hall effect, the reciprocal relations suggest their intriguing connection.     

Asymmetric Fraunhofer pattern in Josephson junctions from heterodimensional superlattice V5S8

Introduction of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in a Josephson junction (JJ) gives rise to unusual Josephson effects. We investigate JJs based on a newly discovered heterodimensional superlattice V₅S₈ with a special form of SOC. The unique homointerface of our JJs enables elimination of extrinsic effects due to interfaces and disorder. We observe asymmetric Fraunhofer patterns with respect to both the perpendicular magnetic field and the current. The asymmetry is influenced by an in-plane magnetic field. Analysis of the pattern points to a nontrivial spatial distribution of the Josephson current that is intrinsic to the SOC in V₅S₈.     

预退火时间对Fe_(80.8)B_(10)P_8Cu_(1.2)非晶合金微结构及磁性能的影响

研究了预退火时间对Fe_(80.8)B_(10)P_8Cu_(1.2)非晶合金微结构及磁性能的影响.穆斯堡尔谱研究表明:在660 K的预退火温度下,随着预退火时间的增加,Fe原子不断富集,非晶基体中的类Fe_3B化学短程有序结构向类Fe B结构转变,并且非晶基体中Fe第一近邻壳层中Cu原子的逐渐脱离以及Fe-P配位键数量的明显减少可间接表征CuP团簇的形成过程.同时,本研究通过调节预退火时间来调控非晶基体中CuP团簇和Fe团簇的数量,促进后续退火晶化过程中α-Fe纳米晶相的析出,并细化纳米晶尺寸,从而获得综合磁性能更加优异的非晶/纳米晶软磁合金.
