Atomic Nuclei: Magnetic Resonance

773
The number of nuclear spins aligned in the lower energy state is slightly greater than those in the higher energy state. In the presence of an external magnetic field, as the spins precess at the Larmor frequency, the excess population results in a net magnetization oriented along the z axis. When a pulse or a short burst of radio waves at the Larmor frequency is applied along the x axis, the coupling of frequencies causes resonance and flips the nuclear spins of the excess population from the...

Atomic Force Microscopy

3.6K
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that can analyze topographic details of various specimens like ceramics, glass, polymers, and biological samples. AFM offers over 1000 times more resolution than the optical imaging system. Images generated from AFM are three-dimensional surface profiles, offering an advantage over the flat, two-dimensional images from other imaging techniques.
The AFM Probe
The probe is regarded as the heart of any AFM setup and comprises the...

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

4.1K
X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are  scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The  X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Magnetism

Background:

  • Physical properties of magnetic materials depend on microscopic and mesoscopic structures.
  • Experimental access to mesoscopic structures, especially in antiferromagnets, is challenging due to zero net magnetization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To visualize antiferromagnetic (AF) domains in the spin-orbit Mott insulator Sr2IrO4 at mesoscopic length scales.
  • To investigate the impact of mesoscopic domain structures on the material's physical properties and symmetry.

Main Methods:

  • Combined full-field microscopy and resonant magnetic X-ray diffraction.
  • Visualized AF domains in Sr2IrO4 over an area of ≈0.1 mm² with ≈150 nm spatial resolution.

Main Results:

  • Revealed an intertwining of two AF domains on a length scale comparable to the domain wall width (545 nm).
  • Demonstrated that these mesoscopic structures significantly influence the sample surface and can lead to unexpected macroscopic responses.
  • Showed that inversion symmetry becomes ill-defined at the mesoscopic scale, despite being preserved at the microscopic level.

Conclusions:

  • The novel technique provides unprecedented insight into AF domain structures.
  • Understanding mesoscopic structures is critical for a comprehensive grasp of antiferromagnet properties.
  • This work highlights the importance of mesoscopic phenomena in determining macroscopic physical behavior.
