Observation of skyrmions in a multiferroic material.
A magnetic skyrmion is a topologically stable particle-like object that appears as a vortex-like spin texture at the nanometer scale in a chiral-lattice magnet. Skyrmions have been observed in metallic materials, where they are controllable by electric currents. Here, we report the experimental discovery of magnetoelectric skyrmions in an insulating chiral-lattice magnet Cu(2)OSeO(3) through Lo...
متن کاملThe critical end point of quantum chromodynamics
We investigate the critical end point (CEP) of QCD with two flavours of light dynamical quarks at finite lattice cutoff a = 1/4T using a Taylor expansion of the baryon number susceptibility. We find a strong volume dependence of the position of the critical end point. In the large volume limit we obtain T /Tc ≈ 0.95 and μE B /T E ≈ 1.1, where Tc is the cross over temperature at zero chemical po...
متن کاملExperimental observation of ferrielectricity in multiferroic DyMn2O5
One of the major breakthroughs associated with multiferroicity in recent years is the discovery of ferroelectricity generated by specific magnetic structures in some magnetic insulating oxides such as rare-earth manganites RMnO3 and RMn2O5. An unresolved issue is the small electric polarization. Relatively large electric polarization and strong magnetoelectric coupling have been found in those ...
متن کاملCritical End Point Behaviour in a Binary Fluid Mixture
We consider the liquid-gas phase boundary in a binary fluid mixture near its critical end point. Using general scaling arguments we show that the diameter of the liquid-gas coexistence curve exhibits singular behaviour as the critical end point is approached. This prediction is tested by means of extensive Monte-Carlo simulations of a symmetrical Lennard-Jones binary mixture within the grand ca...
متن کاملEvidence for a critical end point in [111]-stressed RbCaF3
2014 In RbCaF3, a [111] stress 03C3 > 03C3E induces an Ising line separating the pseudo-cubic from the trigonal phase which impinges at finite angle on a first-order boundary to the tetragonal phase. Thus, a critical end point (CEP) occurs sited at 03C3E = 0.10 ± 0.01 kbar and TE = 196.3 ± 0.1 K. The discontinuity jump of the order parameter along this boundary is monotonous across the CEP...
