Using powder neutron diffraction, we have discovered an unusual magnetic order-order transition in the Ising spin chain compound Ca3Co2O6. On lowering the temperature, an antiferromagnetic phase with a propagation vector k = (0.5, -0.5, 1) emerges from a higher temperature spin density wave structure with k = (0, 0, 1.01). This transition occurs over an unprecedented time scale of several hours and is never complete.

Designing mixed-metal electrocatalyst systems for photoelectrochemical dinitrogen activation

Manpreet Kaur, Marc Walker, Steven Hindmarsh, Charlotte Bolt, Stephen York, Yisong Han, Martin R. Lees, Katharina Brinkert

Summary: Efficient artificial photosynthesis systems use catalyst- and surface-functionalized photovoltaic devices to perform photoelectrochemical water oxidation, CO2 recycling, and hydrogen generation. This research focuses on developing photoelectrodeposition procedures to directly deposit mixed-metal electrocatalyst nanostructures on semiconductor surfaces for light-assisted dinitrogen activation. The electrocatalyst films fabricated through this process exhibit different physical properties and are largely nitrogen-free, which is challenging to achieve using traditional deposition techniques. Initial measurements and XPS studies confirm the successful activation of dinitrogen using these electrocatalyst coatings.

Photoactivation of titanium-oxo cluster [Ti6O6(OR)6(O2CtBu)6]: mechanism, photoactivated structures, and onward reactivity with O2 to a peroxide complex

Stephen E. Brown, Ioanna Mantaloufa, Ryan T. Andrews, Thomas J. Barnes, Martin R. Lees, Frank De Proft, Ana V. Cunha, Sebastian D. Pike

Summary: The molecular titanium-oxo cluster [Ti6O6((OPr)-Pr-i)(6)((O2CBu)-Bu-t)(6)] (1) can be activated by UV light to produce a mixed valent (photoreduced) Ti (iii/iv) cluster, along with alcohol and ketone organic products. Mechanistic studies show a two-electron mechanism utilizing the cluster structure for multielectron reactions. The photoreduced products [Ti6O6((OPr)-Pr-i)(4)((O2CBu)-Bu-t)(6)(sol)(2)] can be isolated and characterized, and undergo onward oxidation under air. The redox reactivity described is only possible in a cluster with multiple Ti sites.

FeIII in the high-spin state in dimethylammonium bis[3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazonato(2-)-κ3O2,N1,S]ferrate(III)

Robyn E. Powell, Martin R. Lees, Graham J. Tizzard, Simon J. Coles, Qingchun Yuan, Petra J. van Koningsbruggen

Summary: The synthesis and crystal structure (100 K) of the compound [(CH3)(2)NH2]-[Fe(C10H11O2N3S)(2)] are reported. The structure consists of an octahedral [Fe-III (L)(2)](-) fragment and a dimethylammonium cation. Each L2- ligand binds to the FeIII ion through the S, N, and O atoms, forming an (FeS2N2O2)-S-III chromophore. The ligands are arranged in two perpendicular planes, with the O and S atoms in cis positions and the N atoms in trans positions. The magnetic measurements confirm the presence of a high-spin Fe-III ion with D = 0.83 (1) cm(-1) and g = 2 at 100 K.

Discerning element and site-specific fluctuations of the charge-orbital order in Fe3O4 below the Verwey transition

Nelson Hua, Jianheng Li, Stjepan B. Hrkac, Andi Barbour, Wen Hu, Claudio Mazzoli, Stuart Wilkins, Roopali Kukreja, Eric E. Fullerton, Oleg G. Shpyrko

Summary: We studied charge-orbital fluctuations in the insulating state of magnetite using resonant elastic x-ray scattering and x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. Our results revealed the dynamics of the iron 3d and oxygen 2p orbital domains, showing a decoupling of the orbital correlation lengths between the oxygen ligands and site-specific iron 3d states. We also observed charge-orbital domain fluctuations at the iron t(2g) orbital sites of trimeron chains.

Self-seeded coprecipitation flow synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles via triphasic reactor platform: Optimising heating performance under alternating magnetic fields

Sayan Pal, Maximilian O. Besenhard, Liudmyla Storozhuk, Martin R. Lees, Nguyen Thi Kim Thanh, Asterios Gavriilidis

Summary: This work demonstrates a modular triphasic flow reactor platform that enables continuous and fouling-free four-step co-precipitation flow synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) for magnetically induced hyperthermia cancer treatment (MHCT). By using a seeded growth co-precipitation strategy and a nitrogen gas spacer, the flow platform allows for the continuous synthesis of colloidally stable IONPs with high heating performance in a short residence time.

The critical role of ultra-low-energy vibrations in the relaxation dynamics of molecular qubits

E. Garlatti, A. Albino, S. Chicco, V. H. A. Nguyen, F. Santanni, L. Paolasini, C. Mazzoli, R. Caciuffo, F. Totti, P. Santini, R. Sessoli, A. Lunghi, S. Carretta

Summary: Understanding phonon-induced relaxation in molecular qubits is crucial for their application potential. Garlatti et al. utilize inelastic X-ray scattering and density functional theory to investigate the role of low-energy phonons on spin relaxation in a prototypical molecular qubit. They find that intra-molecular vibrations with very-low energies are largely responsible for spin relaxation up to ambient temperature. This research provides insights into improving spin coherence and opens new avenues for the investigation of magnetic molecules for quantum devices.

Summary: Resonant elastic X-Ray scattering on EuIn2As2 reveals that the magnetic order in this material satisfies the symmetry requirements for it to be an axion insulator. This finding is significant and may contribute to a better understanding of the physical properties of magnetic topological insulators.

Quantum Griffiths phase in disordered Mn1-xFexSi

Ashish Kumar Mishra, S. Shanmukharao Samatham, Mark T. F. Telling, A. D. Hillier, Martin R. Lees, K. G. Suresh, V. Ganesan

Summary: We have observed the presence of magnetic rare regions in Fe-doped MnSi that exhibit the quantum Griffiths phase. These rare regions exhibit slow dynamics at low temperatures, resulting in non-Fermi-liquid behavior in heat capacity and magnetization. Our μSR and magnetization measurements indicate that the dynamics freeze into a cluster-glass state below Tf around 1.25 K. These findings are consistent with theoretical models proposed for metallic systems with Heisenberg symmetry and strong disorder exhibiting the quantum Griffiths phase.

Competing charge and magnetic order in the candidate centrosymmetric skyrmion host EuGa2Al2

A. M. Vibhakar, D. D. Khalyavin, J. M. Moya, P. Manuel, F. Orlandi, S. Lei, E. Morosan, A. Bombardi

Summary: This study presents a high-resolution resonant x-ray and neutron scattering study on EuGa2Al2, revealing the complex coupling between electronic ordering phenomena. The results show that the system forms a spin density wave with perpendicular magnetic moments below 19.5 K, and a cycloid with moments in the ab plane below 15 K, contrary to previous reports. The study also demonstrates the suppression of charge density wave order and the breaking of fourfold symmetry in the crystal structure.

Solid-State 3He NMR of the Superconducting Rubidium Endofulleride Rb3(3He@C60)

Murari Soundararajan, George R. Bacanu, Francesco Giustiniano, Mark C. Walkey, Gabriela Hoffman, Marina Carravetta, Martin R. Lees, Richard J. Whitby, Malcolm H. Levitt

Summary: This article presents a new variant of the superconducting fulleride Rb3C60, with He-3 atoms encapsulated in the C-60 cages. The characteristics of the superconducting and normal states are examined using He-3 NMR. Evidence is found for the coexistence of vortex liquid and vortex solid phases below the superconducting transition temperature. The spin-lattice relaxation time constant in the superconducting state shows a strong dependence on spectral frequency, which is revealed by two-dimensional NMR using an inverse Laplace transform. Surprisingly, this phenomenon persists, in attenuated form, at temperatures well above the superconducting transition.
