Surface-confined spiral state with a doubled magnetic period in Cu2OSeO3
Magnetism in solid materials originates from tiny atomic “compasses” called electron spins. In many magnetically ordered compounds, these spins simply align parallel or antiparallel to each other. However, in more complex systems they can arrange into ...

Alkali-Metal Interlocking of 2D V4O10 Sheets Defines Discretized Interlayer Shear Relationships
Low-dimensional materials manifest structural anisotropy, quantum confinement, and tightly bound excitonic states, which make them attractive building blocks that can be assembled within three-dimensional laterally stitched heterostructures, stacked van der Waals solids, and complex moiré superlattices ...
