Title: Spin–Phonon Interactions and Anharmonic Lattice Dynamics in Fe 3 GeTe 2
Abstract

Raman scattering is performed on Fe3GeTe2(FGT) at temperatures from 8 to 300 K and under pressures from the ambient pressure to 9.43 GPa. Temperature‐dependent and pressure‐dependent Raman spectra are reported. The results reveal respective anomalous softening and moderate stiffening of the two Raman active modes as a result of the increase of pressure. The anomalous softening suggests anharmonic phonon dynamics and strong spin–phonon coupling. Pressure‐dependent density functional theory and phonon calculations are conducted and used to study the magnetic properties of FGT and assign the observed Raman modes,and. The calculations proved the strong spin–phonon coupling for themode. In addition, a synergistic interplay of pressure‐induced reduction of spin exchange interactions and spin–orbit coupling effect accounts for the softening of themode as pressure increases.

  1. Abstract

    We prove that a WLD subspace of the spaceconsisting of all bounded, countably supported functions on a set Γ embeds isomorphically intoif and only if it does not contain isometric copies of. Moreover, a subspace ofis constructed that has an unconditional basis, does not embed into, and whose every weakly compact subset is separable (in particular, it cannot contain any isomorphic copies of).

    In this paper, we are interested in the following question: given an arbitrary Steiner triple systemonvertices and any 3‐uniform hypertreeonvertices, is it necessary thatcontainsas a subgraph provided? We show the answer is positive for a class of hypertrees and conjecture that the answer is always positive.

    It is proved that for every countable structureand a computable successor ordinal α there is a countable structurewhich is‐least among all countable structuressuch thatis Σ‐definable in the αth jump. We also show that this result does not hold for the limit ordinal. Moreover, we prove that there is no countable structurewith the degree spectrumfor.

    A graphGis said to be 2‐divisible if for all (nonempty) induced subgraphsHofG,can be partitioned into two setssuch thatand. (Heredenotes the clique number ofG, the number of vertices in a largest clique ofG). A graphGis said to be perfectly divisible if for all induced subgraphsHofG,can be partitioned into two setssuch thatis perfect and. We prove that if a graph is‐free, then it is 2‐divisible. We also prove that if a graph is bull‐free and either odd‐hole‐free orP5‐free, then it is perfectly divisible.

  5. Abstract

    The hydration of the two most reactive phases of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), tricalcium silicate (C3S), and tricalcium aluminate (C3A) is successfully halted when the activity of water () falls below critical thresholds of 0.70 and 0.45, respectively. It has been established that the reduction in relative humidity (RH) and suppresses the hydration of all anhydrous phases in OPC, including less explored phases like dicalcium silicate, that is, belite (β‐C2S). However, the degree of suppression, that is, the critical threshold, for β‐C2S, standalone has yet to be established. This study utilizes isothermal microcalorimetry and X‐ray diffraction techniques to elucidate the influence ofon the hydration of‐C2S suspensions via incremental replacements of water with isopropanol (IPA). Experimentally, this study shows that with increasing IPA replacements, hydration is increasingly suppressed until eventually brought to a halt at a critical threshold of approximately 27.7% IPA on a weight basis (wt.%IPA). From thermodynamic estimations, the exact criticalthreshold and solubility product constant of‐C2S () are established as 0.913 and 10−12.68, respectively. This study enables enhanced understanding of β‐C2S reactivity and provides thermodynamic parameters during the hydration of β‐C2S‐containing cementitious systems such as OPC‐based and calcium aluminate‐based systems.
