The microscopic investigation of structures of moving flux lines by neutron and muon techniques

We have used a variety of microscopic techniques to reveal the structure and motion of flux line arrangements, when the flux lines in low T _c type II superconductors are caused to move by a transport current. Using small-angle neutron scattering by the flux line lattice (FLL), we are able to demonstrate directly the alignment by motion of the nearest-neighbor FLL direction. This tends to be parallel to the direction of flux line motion, as had been suspected from two-dimensional simulations. We also see the destruction of the ordered FLL by plastic flow and the bending of flux lines. Another technique that our collaboration has employed is the direct measurement of flux line motion, using the ultra-high-resolution spectroscopy of the neutron spin-echo technique to observe the energy change of neutrons diffracted by moving flux lines. The muon spin rotation (μSR) technique gives the distribution of values of magnetic field within the FLL. We have recently succeeded in performing μSR measurements while the FLL is moving. Such measurements give complementary information about the local speed and orientation of the FLL motion. We conclude by discussing the possible application of this technique to thin film superconductors.     

From hetero- to homochiral bis(metallahelicene)s based on a Pt(III)-Pt(III) bonded scaffold: isomerization, structure, and chiroptical properties

Hetero- and homochiral diastereomeric bis(metallahelicene)s have been synthesized. They possess a rare Pt(III)-Pt(III) scaffold bridged by benzoato ligands. It is shown that heterochiral (P,M)-bis(Pt(III)-[6]helicene) can isomerize into the homochiral (P,P)- and (M,M)-bis(Pt(III)-[6]helicene). A theoretical study shows a unique σ-π conjugation between the two π-helices and the σ-Pt(III)-Pt(III) scaffold that impacts the strong chiroptical properties.
