Item Spin currents with unusual spin orientations in noncollinear Weyl antiferromagnetic Mn3Sn(Physical Review Materials, 2023-03-10) Wang, Xinhao; Hossain, Mohammad Tomal; Thapaliya, T. R.; Khadka, Durga; Lendinez, Sergi; Chen, Hang; Doty, Matthew F.; Jungfleisch, M. Benjamin; Huang, S. X.; Fan, Xin; Xiao, John Q.There are intensive efforts to search for mechanisms that lead to spin-orbit torque with unusual spin orientation, particularly out-of-plane spin orientation which can efficiently switch perpendicular magnetizations. Such a phenomenon has been observed in materials with low structural symmetry, ferromagnetic materials, and antiferromagnets with noncollinear spin structures. Here, we demonstrate the observation of, in addition to out-of-plane spin orientation, spin orientation along the charge current direction in Mn3Sn, a noncollinear antiferromagnet and Weyl semimetal. The mechanism arises from noncollinear spin structure with spin-orbit coupling and it can be viewed as spin rotation around the octupole moment, the lowest order of cluster multipole moment pertaining to the Mn3Sn crystal group.Item A subwavelength resolution microwave/6.3 GHz camera based on a metamaterial absorber(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-01-10) Xie, Yunsong; Fan, Xin; Chen, Yunpeng; Wilson ., Jeffrey D; Simons, Rainee N; Xiao, John Q.; Yunsong Xie; Xin Fan; Yunpeng Chen; Jeffrey D.Wilson; Rainee N. Simons; John Q. Xiao; Xie, Yunsong; Chen, Yunpeng; Xiao, John QThe design, fabrication and characterization of a novel metamaterial absorber based camera with subwavelength spatial resolution are investigated. The proposed camera is featured with simple and lightweight design, easy portability, low cost, high resolution and sensitivity, and minimal image interference or distortion to the original field distribution. The imaging capability of the proposed camera was characterized in both near field and far field ranges. The experimental and simulated near field images both reveal that the camera produces qualitatively accurate images with negligible distortion to the original field distribution. The far field demonstration was done by coupling the designed camera with a microwave convex lens. The far field results further demonstrate that the camera can capture quantitatively accurate electromagnetic wave distribution in the diffraction limit. The proposed camera can be used in application such as non-destructive image and beam direction tracer.
