Perovskite Crystals Sustain Electron Spin For 2 Milliseconds At Near Absolute Zero
4+ hour, 56+ min ago (414+ words) Previously, spin relaxation times in perovskite crystals lasted only tens to hundreds of nanoseconds. Now, measurements reveal these states can be maintained for up to 2 milliseconds in mixed-A-site perovskites. This extended duration establishes a new potential building block for solid-state…...
Laser Light Reveals Hidden Magnetic Waves Within Materials
4+ hour, 57+ min ago (1318+ words) Magnon harmonic generation in antiferromagnets has extended beyond third-order observations to now include signals up to the sixth harmonic. Unlike materials lacking spontaneous symmetry breaking, magnetic order and phase transitions demonstrably alter these harmonic spectra. This offers a new spectroscopic…...
Quantum Emitters Rotate Light Emission By Up To 40 Degrees
5+ hour ago (1005+ words) A 40" rotation in the emission of light from hexagonal boron nitride challenges a long-held assumption of static quantum behaviour. Previously, solid-state quantum emitters were considered to have fixed polarization, but this work demonstrates a thermally-driven spectral rotation, suppressed at cryogenic…...
