Noncollinear kagome magnet driven by giant antisymmetric exchange
Kagome lattices host exotic phenomena such as quantum spin liquids, topological Weyl nodes, and flat bands. The kagome ferromagnet Co3Sn2S2 has been a focus of debate due to conflicting reports on its magnetic character. Here, using weakly perturbative probes ...
Multiple magnetic transitions in the trilayer nickelate Pr4Ni3O10 revealed by muon-spin rotation
A muon-spin rotation/relaxation (µSR) study of the trilayer Ruddlesden–Popper nickelate Pr4Ni3O10 was performed at ambient pressure and under hydrostatic pressure up to 2.2 GPa. Three magnetic transitions were identified ...
Unraveling spin density wave order in layered nickelates La3Ni2O7 and La2PrNi2O7 via neutron diffraction
The observation of pressure-induced superconductivity in two- and three-layer Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates has spurred ...
