Andre Mkhoyan, and Nitin Samarth Phys. Rev. Applied 18, 054004 (2022) – Published 2 November 2022 Efficient interconversion between charge and spin is expected in topological quantum materials, and theory predicts high spin Hall conductivity for the Weyl semimetal TaAs, making it an attractive material for spintronics. The authors measure charge-spin conversion in thin films of TaAs and find a large spin Hall conductivity, consistent with calculations—even though the films are polycrystalline, whereas the calculations are for single-crystal material. More surprisingly, oxidation of the films results in very large conversion efficiency, hinting at hidden physics that could be exploited to develop topological spintronic devices with large figures of merit.     Editors' Suggestion Unidirectional Chiral Magnonics in Cylindrical Synthetic Antiferromagnets R.A. Gallardo, P. Alvarado-Seguel, and P. Landeros Phys. Rev. Applied 18, 054044 (2022) – Published 15 November 2022 Progress in spintronics continues briskly, with many different approaches and physical phenomena underlying candidate technologies. This study uses modern spin-wave theory to predict the magnonic spectrum of a cylindrical synthetic antiferromagnet consisting of two coaxial nanotubes. The proposed device incorporates two coupled ferromagnetic nanotubes hosting oppositely magnetized vortices. Nonreciprocal features of the proposed architecture are provided by both intra- and interlayer dipolar coupling. Unidirectional spin-wave behavior is found, which may impact the realization of low-power magnonic devices operating at nano- to micrometer scales.     Editors' Suggestion Optimal Design of Three-Dimensional Voxel Printed Multimaterial Lattice Metamaterials via Machine Learning and Evolutionary Algorithm Le Dong and Dong Wang Phys. Rev. Applied 18, 054050 (2022) – Published 16 November 2022 Mechanical metamaterials present tremendous potential through synergistic material distribution and structural design, but current approaches mainly focus on structure while neglecting the material distribution. The authors propose an optimized method for designing lattice metamaterials, considering both control aspects. This framework can be used to match multiple targets, such as reproducing the stress-strain and Poisson's ratio curves of biological tissues simultaneously, and to enable customized lateral profiles. This work expands the design space of lattice metamaterials and is promising for flexible electronics and soft robotics.     Editors' Suggestion Systematic Control of the Interlayer Exchange Coupling in Perpendicularly Magnetized Synthetic Antiferromagnets Teng Xu, Jiahao Liu, Xichao Zhang, Qihan Zhang, Heng-An Zhou, Yiqing Dong, Pierluigi Gargiani, Manuel Valvidares, Yan Zhou, and Wanjun Jiang Phys. Rev. Applied 18, 054051 (2022) – Published 16 November 2022 Controlling the interlayer exchange coupling in synthetic antiferromagnets (SAFs) is crucial for realizing spintronic phenomena and devices. Here researchers investigate such control in Pt/Co/Ru/Fe0.55Tb0.45 by tuning the thicknesses of various layers. Complementary measurements using three techniques show that SAFs with different magnetization-reversal characteristics may be clearly resolved. The results suggest that the interlayer exchange coupling may be tuned effectively in this manner, which could be quite useful for designing SAF-based magnetic memory or sensing devices.     Editors' Suggestion Compact High-Resolution Absolute-Gravity Gradiometer Based on Atom Interferometers Wei Lyu, Jia-Qi Zhong, Xiao-Wei Zhang, Wu Liu, Lei Zhu, Wei-Hao Xu, Xi Chen, Biao Tang, Jin Wang, and Ming-Sheng Zhan Phys. Rev. Applied 18, 054091 (2022) – Published 30 November 2022 Measurement of the absolute-gravity gradient is of great significance in metrology, geophysics, and industries such as autonomous navigation. However, its applications are limited by the dimensions of the gradiometer and the complicated systematic errors. The authors present a high-resolution atom-gravity gradiometer with an ultracompact sensor head, and develop a series of technologies to comprehensively evaluate the systematic errors. This work will have an impact on the calibration of gravimetry instruments, correction of inertial navigation errors, and direct onboard high-precision mapping.     Editors' Suggestion Conformally Mapped Black Hole Effect in Elastic Curved Continuum Dongwoo Lee, Yiran Hao, Jeonghoon Park, Yaxi Shen, Jensen Li, and Junsuk Rho Phys. Rev. Applied 18, 054092 (2022) – Published 30 November 2022 What if we could manipulate and study a black hole in the laboratory? Here the authors employ the elastic curved framework to mimic the black hole effect and achieve a singularity, which has an infinite refractive index in the classical regime and has proven challenging to navigate so far. In particular, they adopt a conformal mapping-based strategy that leads to wave localization and time lags. This work would have an impact on finding solutions to wave propagation in the presence of singularity, and have potential applications in sensing, imaging, vibration isolation, and energy harvesting.     LETTERS Letter Time-Delayed Magnetic Control of X-ray Spectral Enhancement in Two-Target Nuclear Forward Scattering Po-Han Lin, Yu-Hung Kuan, Yen-Yu Fu, and Wen-Te Liao Phys. Rev. Applied 18, L051001 (2022) – Published 4 November 2022 Nuclear resonant scattering of x rays is an important method to probe the dynamics and structure of condensed matter. As the bandwidth of a synchrotron-radiation pulse is much broader than the linewidth of Mössbauer isotopes in a target, the resonant fraction of the incident x-ray photons is extremely tiny. The authors propose using magnetic switching to control the interference between the off-resonant background x rays and the resonant scattered signal, for enhancement of the output intensity via Fano resonance. This scheme points toward a bright, flexible x-ray source for precision spectroscopy utilizing modern synchrotrons.     Letter Quasipolaron Surface Polarization in Bismuth Ferrite Jiarui Zhang, Yongbao Cui, Nannan Liu, Qi Qi, Rui Huang, Kai Chen, Laijun Liu, Zhida Han, and Guoliang Yuan Phys. Rev. Applied 18, L051002 (2022) – Published 8 November 2022 Multiferroic BiFeO3 has been surprising researchers with its properties for decades now, and questions related to the origin of its polarization and the various mechanisms behind its ferroelectric properties are still important. This study shows that in BiFeO3, quasipolaron surface polarization is the origin of a nested domain structure. As more quasipolarons are pinned at the surface per unit area, the surface density of antiferromagnetically ordered spins increases. The large remanent polarization and superior antiferromagnetic properties show that the surface of bismuth ferrite is important for spintronics.     Letter Resonant Polariton Thermal Transport Along a Vacuum Gap Sebastian Volz, Masahiro Nomura, and Jose Ordonez-Miranda Phys. Rev. Applied 18, L051003 (2022) – Published 21 November 2022 Going with the flow: The authors show that, in contrast to the well-known cross-plane heat transport in a cavity, the in-plane transport increases with gap distance up to 1 cm, where it takes on a maximum value that increases with temperature. This resonance occurs due to the thermal activation of hundreds of electromagnetic cavity modes, which are standing waves in the cross-plane direction, yet propagate within the plane. The energy of these modes leads to thermal emission comparable to the radiation predicted by Planck's law, and this effect could be useful for generating and evacuating super-Planckian heat currents along macroscale cavities.     ARTICLES Simplified Algorithms for Adaptive Experiment Design in Parameter Estimation Robert D.

Rev. Applied 18, 054091 (2022) – Published 30 November 2022 Measurement of the absolute-gravity gradient is of great significance in metrology, geophysics, and industries such as autonomous navigation. However, its applications are limited by the dimensions of the gradiometer and the complicated systematic errors. The authors present a high-resolution atom-gravity gradiometer with an ultracompact sensor head, and develop a series of technologies to comprehensively evaluate the systematic errors. This work will have an impact on the calibration of gravimetry instruments, correction of inertial navigation errors, and direct onboard high-precision mapping.     Editors' Suggestion Conformally Mapped Black Hole Effect in Elastic Curved Continuum Dongwoo Lee, Yiran Hao, Jeonghoon Park, Yaxi Shen, Jensen Li, and Junsuk Rho Phys. Rev. Applied 18, 054092 (2022) – Published 30 November 2022 What if we could manipulate and study a black hole in the laboratory? Here the authors employ the elastic curved framework to mimic the black hole effect and achieve a singularity, which has an infinite refractive index in the classical regime and has proven challenging to navigate so far. In particular, they adopt a conformal mapping-based strategy that leads to wave localization and time lags. This work would have an impact on finding solutions to wave propagation in the presence of singularity, and have potential applications in sensing, imaging, vibration isolation, and energy harvesting.       American Physical Society: 1 Physics Ellipse, College Park, MD 20740 ©2022 American Physical Society | All rights reserved   You are receiving this email because you are subscribed to Table of Content alerts.
