We examine the magnetic properties of the quasi 2D ferrimagnetic single crystal Mn3Si2Te6 (MST) through critical phenomena and magnetic entropy analysis in the easy axis (H || ab) as a function of proton irradiance. Employing a modified asymptotic analysis method, we find that upon proton irradiation the critical exponents do not fall into any particular universality class but lie close to mean field critical exponents ({gamma} = 1, b{eta} = 0.5). The presence of long-range interactions can be safely assumed for the pristine and irradiated cases of MST examined in this work. Further analysis on the effective spatial dimensionality reveal that MST remains at d = 3 under proton irradiation transitioning from an n = 1 spin dimensionality to n = 2 and n=3 for 1 x 10^15 and 5 x 10^15 H+/cm^2, indicating an XY interaction and a Heisenberg interaction, respectively. The pair (spin-spin) correlation function reveals an increase in magnetic correlations at the proton irradiance of 5 x 10^15 H+/cm^2. In conjunction, the maximum change in magnetic entropy obtained from isothermal magnetization at 3 T is the largest for 5 x 10^15 H+/cm^2 with a value of 2.45 J/kgK at T = 73.66 K, in comparison to 1.60 J/kgK for pristine MST at T = 73 K. Magnetic entropy derived from zero-field heat capacity does not show large deviations across the proton irradiated samples. This suggests that the antiferromagnetic coupling between the Mn sites is stable even after proton irradiation. Such result implies that magnetization is enhanced through a strengthening of the super-exchange interaction between Mn atoms mediated through Te rather than a weakening of the AFM component. Overall, our study finds that the magnetic interactions are manipulated the greatest when MST is irradiated at 5 x 10^15 H+/cm^2.

The dielectric and magnetic polarizations of quantum paraelectrics and paramagnetic materials have in many cases been found to initially increase with increasing thermal disorder and hence exhibit peaks as a function of temperature. A quantitative de
scription of these examples of order-by-disorder phenomenona has remained elusive in nearly ferromagnetic metals and in dielectrics on the border of displacive ferroelectric transitions. Here we present an experimental study of the evolution of the dielectric susceptibility peak as a function of pressure in the nearly ferroelectric material, strontium titanate, which reveals that the peak position collapses towards absolute zero as the ferroelectric quantum critical point is approached. We show that this behaviour can be described in detail without the use of adjustable parameters in terms of the Larkin-Khmelnitskii-Shneerson-Rechester (LKSR) theory, first introduced nearly 50 years ago, of the hybridization of polar and acoustic modes in quantum paraelectrics, in contrast to alternative models that have been proposed. Our study allows us to construct for the first time a detailed temperature-pressure phase diagram of a material on the border of a ferroelectric quantum critical point comprising ferroelectric, quantum critical paraelectric and hybridized polar-acoustic regimes. Furthermore, at the lowest temperatures, below the susceptibility maximum, we observe a new regime characterized by a linear temperature dependence of the inverse susceptibility that differs sharply from the quartic temperature dependence predicted by the LKSR theory. We find that this non-LKSR low temperature regime cannot be accounted for in terms of any detailed model reported in the literature, and its interpretation poses a new empirical and conceptual challenge.
We have performed soft x-ray spectroscopy in order to study the photoirradiation time dependence of the valence band structure and chemical states of layered transition metal nitride chloride TiNCl. Under the soft x-ray irradiation, the intensities o
f the states near the Fermi level (EF) and the Ti3+ component increased, while the Cl 2p intensity decreased. Ti 2p-3d resonance photoemission spectroscopy confirmed a distinctive Fermi edge with Ti 3d character. These results indicate the photo-induced metallization originates from deintercalation due to Cl desorption, and thus provide a new carrier doping method that controls the conducting properties of TiNCl.
The diverse quantization phenomena in 2D condensed-matter systems, being due to a uniform perpendicular magnetic field and the geometry-created lattice symmetries, are the focuses of this book. They cover the diversified magneto-electronic properties
, the various magneto-optical selection rules, the unusual quantum Hall conductivities, and the single- and many-particle magneto-Coulomb excitations. The rich and unique behaviors are clearly revealed in few-layer graphene systems with the distinct stacking configurations, the stacking-modulated structures, and the silicon-doped lattices, bilayer silicene/germanene systems with the bottom-top and bottom-bottom buckling structures, monolayer and bilayer phosphorene systems, and quantum topological insulators. The generalized tight-binding model, the static and dynamic Kubo formulas, and the random-phase approximation, are developed/modified to thoroughly explore the fundamental properties and propose the concise physical pictures. The different high-resolution experimental measurements are discussed in detail, and they are consistent with the theoretical predictions.
Electron irradiation is investigated as a way to dope the topological insulator Bi2Te3. For this, p-type Bi2Te3 single crystals have been irradiated with 2.5 MeV electrons at room temperature and electrical measurements have been performed in-situ as
well as ex-situ in magnetic fields up to 14 T. The defects created by irradiation act as electron donors allowing the compensation of the initial hole-type conductivity of the material as well as the conversion of the conductivity from p- to n-type. The changes in carrier concentration are investigated using Hall effect and Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations, clearly observable in the p-type samples before irradiation, but also after the irradiation-induced conversion of the conductivity to n-type. The SdH patterns observed for the magnetic field along the trigonal axis can be entirely explained assuming the contribution of only one valence and conduction band, respectively, and Zeeman-splitting of the orbital levels.
The damping parameter ${alpha}_{text{FM}}$ in ferrimagnets defined by following the conventional practice for ferromagnets is known to be strongly temperature dependent and diverge at the angular momentum compensation temperature, where the net angul
ar momentum vanishes. However, recent theoretical and experimental developments suggest that the damping parameter can be defined in such a way, which we denote by ${alpha}_{text{FiM}}$, that it is free of the diverging anomaly at the angular momentum compensation point and is little dependent of temperature. To further understand the temperature dependence of the damping parameter in ferrimagnets, we analyze several data sets from literature for gadolinium iron garnet (Gd$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$) by using the two different definitions of the damping parameter. Using two methods to estimate the individual sublattice magnetizations, which yield results consistent with each other, we found that in all the used data sets, the damping parameter ${alpha}_{text{FiM}}$ does not increase at the angular compensation temperature and shows no anomaly whereas the conventionally defined ${alpha}_{text{FM}}$ is strongly dependent on the temperature.
