Summary: This study investigates the orbital angular momentum of magnons in collinear ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic systems with nontrivial networks of exchange interactions. The results show that the orbital angular momentum of magnons becomes nonzero in zigzag and honeycomb lattices when the lattice contains two inequivalent sites and reaches its peak at avoided-crossing points or extremum of the frequency bands. Thus, the arrangement of exchange interactions may play a more significant role in generating the orbital angular momentum of magnons compared to spin-orbit coupling energy and the resulting noncollinear arrangement of spins.

Summary: This research investigates how practical knowledge affects the learning experience and measures the effectiveness of the proposed solution. For cybersecurity, practical problem-solving and theoretical teaching should go hand-in-hand, allowing students to learn in an interactive hands-on environment.

Summary: In the S = 1 easy-plane-type triangular antiferromagnets CsFeCl3 and RbFeCl3, magnetic excitations were investigated using a combination of inelastic neutron scattering measurements and spin-wave theory calculations. An established exchange-coupling Hamiltonian was used, but failed to adequately describe the measured intensities, especially in RbFeCl3. The observed anomalies, such as anisotropic azimuthal intensity distribution, were attributed to long-range dipolar interactions.

Summary: The study proposes and demonstrates a method for actively controlling the classical-quantum crossover in magnetic insulators by applying external pressure, showing evolution of magnetization process from semi-classical to highly-quantum regime in CsCuCl3. By compressing spin chains to alter the value of local spin quantum number in a two-dimensional model, quantum correlations are characterized and the tunable classical-quantum crossover of two-dimensional spin systems is accessed.

Summary: This study prepared ten small size samples of amorphous silica containing 78 atoms using classical molecular dynamics and the BKS empirical potential. The structural characteristics of these samples were found to be in good agreement with experimental data, and dynamical properties were also relatively well compared with neutron scattering experiments. These small dynamically stable structures can be used to study more complicated physical properties, such as thermal conductivity or diffusivity, at a reduced computational cost.

Summary: The observation of ferroic order of magnetic octupole in Mn3Sn by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, which has only been predicted theoretically so far, indicates that the exotic material functionalities are closely related to the multipole order. The decoupling of observed signals from uniform magnetization suggests that X-ray magnetic circular dichroism in Mn3Sn is not originating from conventional magnetization, pointing to the possibility of unconventional cross correlation functionalities due to multipole order. The detection of magnetic octupole moment through X-ray magnetic circular dichroism has not been experimentally demonstrated before.

Summary: The study characterized the metal-hydrogen and hydrogen-hydrogen interactions in a previously reported compound using diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering measurements, paired with molecular and solid-state density functional theory. Based on the findings, the compound was reclassified as a rare example of a non-classical compressed dihydride species.

Summary: Metal-organic magnets (MOMs) are promising candidates for next-generation quantum technologies. In this study, we report a new quasi-1D S = 2 MOM and show that it does not exhibit the Haldane phase, but its structure and properties suggest that layered Cr(II) MOMs are a promising family to search for the elusive S = 2 Haldane phase.

Summary: (English Summary:)
In a two-dimensional system, different surface critical behaviors were observed without dimerization. Surfaces along the chain direction showed typical critical behavior, while those perpendicular to the chain direction displayed nonordinary behavior, consistent with transitions found in dimerized Heisenberg models.

Summary: The study examined the diffusion of water in zeolite HY at 300K, revealing that water loading significantly affects diffusivity, while a higher Si/Al ratio leads to lower diffusivity. The presence of silanol nest defects did not have a significant impact on water diffusivity in any condition.

Summary: To understand the mechanoresponsive behavior of the bio-adhesive slime, the nanostructural organization of its components was studied using small-angle scattering with neutrons and X-rays. It was found that the majority of slime proteins exist freely in solution, while only less than 10% are contained in nanoglobules. Comparing scattering data of slime re-hydrated with light and heavy water revealed that the majority of lipids are contained in nanoglobules with homogeneous distribution. Vibrating mechanical impact without air did not lead to fiber formation, suggesting that interfacial phenomena and directional shearing are required for fiber formation.

Summary: We conducted polarized small-angle and wide-angle neutron scattering experiments on 420 nm-sized hollow Fe3O4 spherical particles. Each particle is a mesocrystal composed of small nanoparticles with the same crystallographic orientation. We used polarized neutron experiments to evaluate the magnetic correlations during magnetization process. Our results show that the perpendicular magnetization component maximizes around zero applied field, while the parallel component minimizes, both below and above the Verwey transition temperature. Our calculations suggest the reorientation of the vortex core towards the magnetocrystalline anisotropy axis at low applied fields. We also found that the magnetic domain length obtained from wide-angle scattering is comparable to the size of the small nanoparticles forming the hollow sphere, indicating that magnetic correlations within the nanoparticles retain during magnetization process.
