A quasi-two-dimensional quantum magnet with competing ferro- and antiferromagnetic exchange interactions,
BaCdVO(PO4 )2, is studied using the magnetic resonance technique in a wide frequency range. The
magnetic resonance spectra of the ordered phase confirm the collinear antiferromagnetic spin structure oriented
along the a axis. The frequency-field diagram of antiferromagnetic resonance demonstrates two low-frequency
excitation branches with different energy gaps, indicating a biaxial nature of anisotropy. We observe a critical
softening of the longitudinal resonance mode in a field of 3.8 T, which is the lower boundary of a previously
proposed presaturation phase positioned below the saturation field of 6.5 T. An interpretation of the presaturation
phase as a state with variable magnetization of spin-vacancy defects is proposed. It may be considered an
alternative to the spin-nematic phase initially supposed.

In this article, we investigate wave packet and solitary wave dynamics in the Whitham–Ostrovsky (WO) equation. By means of a multiple-scales expansion, we formally derive a nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation governing the envelope evolution.The corresponding modulational stability diagram is then obtained using the Lighthill criterion. We show that sufficiently large values of the low-frequency dispersive term render ...

Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus, LG-SiO2), horsetail (Equisetum debile, SG-SiO2), and cassava leaves (Manihot esculenta, CL-SiO2) were used to green-synthesize silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (NPs). While LG-SiO2 and SG-SiO2 had strong (101) peaks and a large 22° amorphous peak, XRD of CL-SiO2 verified crystallinity. LG-SiO2 (agglomerated porous), SG-SiO2 (rectangular-cube agglomerates), and CL-SiO2 (flake agglomerates) had different morphologies. The TEM image of LG-SiO2 revealed agglomerated ...

The shape of the heliosphere, regarded as comet-like since the 1960s, has recently been the subject of intense debate in the last decade. There is disagreement as to whether the heliospheric tail extends to ∼10,000 au in a comet-like shape or if it is short (∼400 au) with a split. Energetic neutral atom (ENA) maps from ...

Overheating remains a critical limitation in high-performance electronic and computing systems,
necessitating the development of efficient thermal management fluids. In this work, a magnetically
responsive hybrid ferrofluid was developed by incorporating two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride
(2D-hBN) nanosheets into a Mn–Zn–ferrite-based ferrofluid. The hybrid system retains magnetic
responsiveness while leveraging the high in-plane thermal conductivity and chemical stability of 2D-hBN
nanosheets. ...

The τ-phase in Mn-Al-Ga alloys is a promising candidate for rare-earth-free permanent magnets. This study re-veals that the τ(γ₂)-phase in rapidly quenched Mn55Al36Ga9 ribbons contains a high density of dislocations, which
form antiphase boundaries (APBs). Using transmission electron microscopy and density functional theory, we
demonstrate that Mn atoms at these APBs couple antiferromagnetically. This antiferromagnetic interaction is
identified ...

In this study we revealed the effect of scandium doping on the electronic and superconducting properties of the MgB2 compound. Calculations demonstrate that Sc substitutes for Mg atoms, acting as an electron donor. Mg substitution diminishes the density of states in the σ-band and attenuates the electron–phonon coupling, thereby elucidating the reduction in critical temperature. Simultaneously, ...

Resonators based on nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) using two-dimensional (2D) materials with high-quality factors and excellent electrical control are critical for tunable coherent phonon dynamics, resonant sensors and wireless communications. However, their performance is fundamentally limited by the lack of a unified framework governing energy dissipation mechanisms and their electrical tunability. Here, we synergistically modulate both ...

Thermoelectric materials, long explored for energy harvesting and thermal sensing, convert heat directly into electrical signals. Extending their application to the terahertz (THz) frequency range opens opportunities for low-noise, bias-free THz detection, yet conventional thermoelectrics lack the sensitivity required for practical devices. Thermoelectric coefficients can be strongly enhanced near van Hove singularities (VHS), though these ...

This paper investigates one possible solution to the problem of self-interference cancellation (SIC) arising in the design of in-band full-duplex (IBFD) communication systems. Self-interference cancellation is performed in the digital domain using multilayer nonlinear models adapted via gradient-based optimization. The presence of local minima and saddle points during the adaptation of multilayer models limits the ...

We perform a Monte Carlo analysis of the Ising model on many three-dimensional lattices. By means of finite-size scaling we obtain the critical points and determine the scaling dimensions. As expected, the critical exponents agree with the three-dimensional Ising universality class for all models. The irrelevant field, as revealed by the correction-to-scaling amplitudes, appears to ...

Optical anisotropy is usually treated as an unfavorable condition for the magneto-optical measurements since it is known to diminish the Faraday rotation concerning the case of the isotropic medium. Here we show that the situation could be quite opposite: a phenomenon of birefringence-mediated enhancement of the magneto-optical activity appears if the incident light polarization and ...

We measured the heat capacity, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, magnetoelectric effect, and optical spectra of samarium chromium borate crystals. It was found that, in SmCr3(BO3)4 single crystals, structures with the space groups R32 and C2/c may coexist. Magnetic phase transitions were discovered at temperatures TN1=7.8±0.5K, TN2=6.7±0.5K, and T3=4.3±0.2K, and assumptions about their nature were made. Based on the high-resolution optical spectra and magnetometry data, the ...

In this paper we suggest a possible way to distinguish these phases experimentally. We calculate the dynamical spin susceptibility tensor for both states in the framework of ...

Electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments in the quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) S=12 antiferromagnet K2CuSO4Cl2 reveal the opening of a gap in the absence of magnetic ordering, as well as an anisotropic shift of the resonance magnetic field. These features of the magnetic excitation spectrum are explained by a crossover between a gapped spinon-type doublet ESR formed in ...
