Inverted shear-strain magnetoelastic coupling at the Fe/BaTiO₃ interface from polarised x-ray imaging

The magnetoelastic coupling at a ferroelectric-ferromagnetic interface is shown to be dominated by shear-strain effects. Using polarised x-ray microscopy to simultaneously image the ferroic domain structures, the authors demonstrate an anomalous coupling in the ultrathin film limit.

Ultrafast time-evolution of chiral Néel magnetic domain walls probed by circular dichroism in x-ray resonant magnetic scattering

There is interest in encoding of information in complex spin structures present in magnetic systems, such as domain walls. Here, Léveillé et al study the ultrafast dynamics of chiral domain walls, and show the emergence of a transient spin chiral texture at the domain wall.

Defect-driven antiferromagnetic domain walls in CuMnAs films

Antiferromagnets offer the potential for higher speed and density than ferromagnetic materials for spintronic devices. Here, Reimers et al study the domain structure of CuMnAs, demonstrating the role of defects in stabilizing the location and orientation of antiferromagnetic domain walls.

Nanoscale self-organization and metastable non-thermal metallicity in Mott insulators

Mott metal-insulator transition in real materials is characterized by complex lattice and electron dynamics involving multiple length and time scales. Here, by combining time-resolved experimental probe and coarse-grained modelling, the authors elucidate the nanoscale dynamics across the Mott transition in V₂O₃.

Mott resistive switching initiated by topological defects

Resistive switching is crucial for applications in advanced computing technologies, but its microscopic mechanism is not fully understood. Here the authors use operando X-ray nanoimaging to study early-stage insulator-to-metal transition in V₂O₃, revealing resistive switching seeded by topological defects.

Ultrafast X-ray imaging of the light-induced phase transition in VO₂

The intermediate states in photo-excited phase transitions are expected to be inhomogeneous. However, ultrafast X-ray imaging shows the early part of the metal–insulator transition in VO₂ is homogeneous but then becomes heterogeneous.

Antiferromagnetic half-skyrmions and bimerons at room temperature

A family of topological antiferromagnetic spin textures is realized at room temperature in α-Fe₂O₃, and their reversible and field-free stabilization using a Kibble–Zurek-like temperature cycling is demonstrated.

Control of the antiferromagnetic domain configuration and Néel axis orientation with epitaxial strain

Precise control over antiferromagnetic domain configurations and Néel axis orientation is essential for technological advancement of spintronic devices. Here, the authors use epitaxial strain to tailor the magnetic properties of LaFeO₃ thin films, demonstrating a crystal engineering approach which may have much wider applicability.
