Extraordinarily large coercive field in a frustrated magnet
As a result of the interplay between correlations, frustration, reduced dimensionality and anisotropy, the materials Sr3NiIrO6 and Sr3CoIrO6 exhibit record high coercive magnetic fields of up to 55 T.
Structure of a model TiO2 photocatalytic interface
The structure of a model photocatalytic interface has been determined combining scanning microscopies, surface diffraction and density functional theory calculations.
The global build-up to intrinsic ELM bursts and comparison with pellet precipitated ELMs seen in JET
New insight on plasma dynamics in experiments that will lead to clean fusion energy.
