Multiple intriguing low-temperature phenomena have recently been discovered in the family of chiral cubic
Co-Zn-Mn compounds with a β-Mn-type structure. In particular, Co8Zn8Mn4 displays a reduction of the
helical spiral pitch on cooling along with lattice shape transformations of metastable skyrmions and the
manifestation of peculiar magnetic textures due to strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Here we report on
temperature-dependent measurements of helimagnon excitations in the field polarized regime Co8Zn8Mn4
using the spin-wave (SW) small-angle neutron-scattering technique. By applying a new analytical expression
to interpret the data, quantitative estimates for both SW stiffness and damping are extracted across a wide
temperature range between 70 and 250 K. We speculate that their nontrivial temperature dependencies arise
due to the effects of magnetic frustration arising from Mn magnetic moments, which is further reflected in
continuous variations of both exchange and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions.

We analytically consider the problem of the Langmuir instability. The instability describes emergence of transverse modulation of horizontal current with vertical shear, when it is superimposed on surface wave co-directional with the flow. Compared to the Craik–Leibovich scheme, we account for the scattering of surface wave on the modulated current, which is significant if the ...

Understanding the properties of two-dimensional material interfaces with the substrate is necessary for device applications. Surface acoustic wave propagation through a layered material flake on a substrate could provide unique information on the transverse rigidity of the flake-to-substrate interaction. Ultrasonic waves were generated by a focused femtosecond laser pulse at the surface of a model ...

We develop a three-mode statistical-mechanical theory for a two-conformer
solute in a near-critical solvent. A compressible lattice model with
vacancies yields the Gaussian free-energy functional for a critical conserved
density, an orthogonal noncritical conserved mode, and the local conformer
fraction. Their couplings follow from packing and cohesive interactions,
rather than being introduced phenomenologically. Kawasaki transport of the
two conserved fields and ...

Exact theories of electrolyte structure must satisfy the nonlocal constraints imposed by electrostatic screening, yet these constraints are most commonly formulated only for homogeneous bulk systems and at the level of two-point correlations. Here, we develop a unified field-theoretic framework that extends them to general inhomogeneous ionic fluids and nonlinear charge correlations. Using a standard ...

Identifying the microscopic processes limiting conductivity is essential for understanding correlated quantum materials. In twisted bilayer graphene, metallic resistivity follows ρ ~ Tα with widely varying α, fueling competing interpretations from phonon-limited transport and umklapp scattering to strange metallicity and heavy-fermion renormalization. Here, we use terahertz excitation to selectively heat electrons while keeping the lattice cold, separating ...

Diene rhodium complexes are important catalysts in modern organic synthesis. Herein, we report a new approach to the such complexes with the uncommon planar chirality. The synthesis is achieved by face-selective coordination of the prochiral 2,5-disubstituted-1,4-benzoquinones (R2-Q) with rhodium precursors containing the chiral auxiliary ligand S-salicyl-oxazoline (S-Salox). Such coordination leads to the formation of (R,R-R2-Q)Rh(S-Salox) ...
