Abstract The combination of a geometrically frustrated lattice, and similar energy scales between degrees of freedom endows two-dimensional Kagome metals with a rich array of quantum phases and renders them ideal for studying strong electron correlations and band topology. The Kagome metal, FeGe is a noted example of this, exhibiting A-type collinear antiferromagnetic (AFM) order at
T N ≈ 400 K, then establishes a charge density wave (CDW) phase coupled with AFM ordered moment belowT CDW ≈ 110 K, and finally forms ac -axis double cone AFM structure aroundT Canting ≈ 60 K. Here we use neutron scattering to demonstrate the presence of gapless incommensurate spin excitations associated with the double cone AFM structure of FeGe at temperatures well aboveT CantingandT CDWthat merge into gapped commensurate spin waves from the A-type AFM order. Commensurate spin waves follow the Bose factor and fit the Heisenberg Hamiltonian, while the incommensurate spin excitations, emerging belowT Nwhere AFM order is commensurate, start to deviate from the Bose factor aroundT CDW, and peaks atT Canting. This is consistent with a critical scattering of a second order magnetic phase transition with decreasing temperature. By comparing these results with density functional theory calculations, we conclude that the incommensurate magnetic structure arises from the nested Fermi surfaces of itinerant electrons and the formation of a spin density wave order. -
Multiple-input multiple-outputs (MIMO) systems are integral to the implementation of the current fifth-generation (5G) and beyond wireless networks. Accurate channel state information (CSI) is imperative to a MIMO system for its optimal performance. In this work, we develop an end-to-end software evaluation platform for the channel estimation process in a MIMO system. With this platform, different channel estimation and reconstruction processes, as well as precoding methods can be implemented and evaluated. Channel reconstruction error and transmission bit error rate are chosen metrics in the current implementation. Direct channel estimation with the least square method, and CSI feedback methods with compressive sensing and deep-learning approaches are tested to demonstrate the evaluation platformmore » « less

Abstract Magnetic order in most materials occurs when magnetic ions with finite moments arrange in a particular pattern below the ordering temperature. Intriguingly, if the crystal electric field (CEF) effect results in a spin-singlet ground state, a magnetic order can still occur due to the exchange interactions between neighboring ions admixing the excited CEF levels. The magnetic excitations in such a state are spin excitons generally dispersionless in reciprocal space. Here we use neutron scattering to study stoichiometric Ni 2 Mo 3 O 8 , where Ni 2+ ions form a bipartite honeycomb lattice comprised of two triangular lattices, with ions subject to the tetrahedral and octahedral crystalline environment, respectively. We find that in both types of ions, the CEF excitations have nonmagnetic singlet ground states, yet the material has magnetic order. Furthermore, CEF spin excitons from the tetrahedral sites form a dispersive diffusive pattern around the Brillouin zone boundary, likely due to spin entanglement and geometric frustrations.more » « lessFree, publicly-accessible full text available December 1, 2024

Abstract The anomalous Hall effect (AHE), typically observed in ferromagnetic (FM) metals with broken time-reversal symmetry, depends on electronic and magnetic properties. In Co3Sn2-
x Inx S2, a giant AHE has been attributed to Berry curvature associated with the FM Weyl semimetal phase, yet recent studies report complicated magnetism. We use neutron scattering to determine the spin dynamics and structures as a function ofx and provide a microscopic understanding of the AHE and magnetism interplay. Spin gap and stiffness indicate a contribution from Weyl fermions consistent with the AHE. The magnetic structure evolves fromc -axis ferromagnetism at to a canted antiferromagnetic (AFM) structure with redu$$x = 0$$ c edc -axis moment and in-plane AFM order at and further reduced$$x = 0.12$$ c -axis FM moment at . Since noncollinear spins can induce non-zero Berry curvature in real space acting as a fictitious magnetic field, our results revealed another AHE contribution, establishing the impact of magnetism on transport.$$x = 0.3$$
