Anti-site disorder is one of the most important issues that arises in synthesis of double perovskite for spintronic applications. Although it is known that anti-site disorder leads to a proliferation of structural defects, known as the anti-phase boundaries that separate ordered anti-phase domains in the sample, little is known about the magnetic correlation across these anti-phase boundaries on a microscopic level. Motivated by this, we report resonant elastic X-ray scattering study of room temperature magnetic and structural correlation in a thin-film sample of Sr$_2$CrReO$_6$, which has one of the highest $mathrm{T_C}$ among double perovskites. Structurally, we discovered existence of anti-phase nanodomains of $sim$15~nm in the sample. Magnetically, the ordered moments are shown to lie perpendicular to the $c$ direction. Most remarkably, we found that the magnetic correlation length far exceeds the size of individual anti-phase nanodomains. Our results therefore provide conclusive proof for existence of robust magnetic correlation across the anti-phase boundaries in Sr$_2$CrReO$_6$.

The double-perovskite A$_2$BBO$_6$ with heavy transition metal ions on the ordered B sites is an important family of compounds to study the interplay between electron correlation and spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Here we prepared high-quality Sr$_2$MgRe
O$_6$ powder and single-crystal samples and performed non-resonant and resonant synchrotron x-ray diffraction experiments to investigate its magnetic ground state. By combining the magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity measurements, we conclude that Sr$_2$MgReO$_6$ exhibits a layered antiferromagnetic (AF) order at temperatures below $sim$ 55 K with a propagation vector q = (001), which contrasts the previously suspected spin glass state. Our works clarify the magnetic order in Sr$_2$MgReO$_6$ and demonstrate it as a candidate system to look for magnetic octupolar orders and exotic spin dynamics.
A neutron scattering study of nonsuperconducting La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CaCu$_2$O$_6$ (x=0 and 0.2), a bilayer copper oxide without CuO chains, has revealed an unexpected tetragonal-to-orthorhombic transition with a doping dependent transition temperature.
The predominant structural modification below the transition is an in-plane shift of the apical oxygen. In the doped sample, the orthorhombic superstructure is strongly disordered, and a glassy state involving both magnetic and structural degrees of freedom develops at low temperature. The spin correlations are commensurate.
We study the static and dynamical properties of a long-range Kitaev chain, i.e., a $p$-wave superconducting chain in which the superconducting pairing decays algebraically as $1/l^{alpha}$, where $l$ is the distance between the two sites and $alpha$
is a positive constant. Considering very large system sizes, we show that when $alpha >1$, the system is topologically equivalent to the short-range Kitaev chain with massless Majorana modes at the ends of the system; on the contrary, for $alpha <1$, there exist symmetry protected massive Dirac end modes. We further study the dynamical phase boundary of the model when periodic $delta$-function kicks are applied to the chemical potential; we specially focus on the case $alpha >1$ and analyze the corresponding Floquet quasienergies. Interestingly, we find that new topologically protected massless end modes are generated at the quasienergy $pi/T$ (where $T$ is the time period of driving) in addition to the end modes at zero energies which exist in the static case. By varying the frequency of kicking, we can produce topological phase transitions between different dynamical phases. Finally, we propose some bulk topological invariants which correctly predict the number of massless end modes at quasienergies equal to 0 and $pi/T$ for a periodically kicked system with $alpha > 1$.
Manipulating magnetic domains is essential for many technological applications. Recent breakthroughs in Antiferromagnetic Spintronics brought up novel concepts for electronic device development. Imaging antiferromagnetic domains is of key importance
to this field. Unfortunately, some of the basic domain types, such as antiphase domains, cannot be imaged by conventional techniques. Herein, we present a new domain projection imaging technique based on the localization of domain boundaries by resonant magnetic diffraction of coherent x rays. Contrast arises from reduction of the scattered intensity at the domain boundaries due to destructive interference effects. We demonstrate this approach by imaging antiphase domains in a collinear antiferromagnet Fe2Mo3O8, and observe evidence of domain wall interaction with a structural defect. This technique does not involve any numerical algorithms. It is fast, sensitive, produces large-scale images in a single-exposure measurement, and is applicable to a variety of magnetic domain types.
We have measured extremely large coercive magnetic fields of up to 55~T in Sr$_3$NiIrO$_6$, with a switched magnetic moment $approx 0.8~mu_{rm B}$ per formula unit. As far as we are aware, this is the largest coercive field observed thus far. This ex
traordinarily hard magnetism has a completely different origin from that found in conventional ferromagnets. Instead, it is due to the evolution of a frustrated antiferromagnetic state in the presence of strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy due to the overlap of spatially-extended Ir$^{4+}$ 5$d$ orbitals with oxygen 2$p$ and Ni$^{2+}$ 3$d$ orbitals. This work highlights the unusual physics that can result from combining the extended $5d$ orbitals in Ir$^{4+}$ with the frustrated behaviour of triangular lattice antiferromagnets.
