Skyrmion lattice with a giant topological Hall effect in a frustrated triangular-lattice magnet

Abstract: Geometrically frustrated magnets provide abundant opportunities for discovering complex spin textures, which sometimes yield unconventional electromagnetic responses in correlated electron systems. It is theoretically predicted that magnetic frustration may also promote a topologically nontrivial spin state, i.e., magnetic skyrmions, which are nanometric spin vortices. Empirically, however, skyrmions are essentially concomitant with noncentrosymmetric lattice structures or interfacial-symmetry-breaking heterostructures. Here, we report the emergence of a Bloch-type skyrmion state in the frustrated centrosymmetric triangular-lattice magnet Gd2PdSi3. We identified the field-induced skyrmion phase via a giant topological Hall response, which is further corroborated by the observation of in-plane spin modulation probed by resonant x-ray scattering. Our results exemplify a new gold mine of magnetic frustration for producing topological spin textures endowed with emergent electrodynamics in centrosymmetric magnets.

Creation of skyrmions and antiskyrmions by local heating

Abstract: The manipulation of magnetic skyrmions in thin films has presented new possibilities for emerging devices and technology. Here, Koshibae et al. use numerical simulations to show how localized nanoscale heating can generate such chiral topological spin textures in both dipolar and chiral magnets.

Ultrasoft electronics to monitor dynamically pulsing cardiomyocytes

Abstract: In biointegrated electronics, the facile control of mechanical properties such as softness and stretchability in electronic devices is necessary to minimize the perturbation of motions inherent in biological systems1–5. For in vitro studies, multielectrode-embedded dishes6–8 and other rigid devices9–12 have been widely used. Soft or flexible electronics on plastic or elastomeric substrates13–15 offer promising new advantages such as decreasing physical stress16–18 and/or applying mechanical stimuli19,20. Recently, owing to the introduction of macroporous plastic substrates with nanofibre scaffolds21,22, three-dimensional electrophysiological mapping of cardiomyocytes has been demonstrated. However, quantitatively monitoring cells that exhibit significant dynamical motions via electric probes over a long period without affecting their natural motion remains a challenge. Here, we present ultrasoft electronics with nanomeshes that monitor the field potential of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes on a hydrogel, while enabling them to move dynamically without interference. Owing to the extraordinary softness of the nanomeshes, nanomesh-attached cardiomyocytes exhibit contraction and relaxation motions comparable to that of cardiomyocytes without attached nanomeshes. Our multilayered nanomesh devices maintain reliable operations in a liquid environment, enabling the recording of field potentials of the cardiomyocytes over a period of 96 h without significant degradation of the nanomesh devices or damage of the cardiomyocytes. Ultrasoft nanomesh electronics enable monitoring of the field potential of cardiomyocytes without interference with their natural motion.

Layer-by-Layer Epitaxial Growth of Scalable WSe2 on Sapphire by Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Abstract: Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) provides a simple but powerful way to synthesize large-area high-quality thin films and heterostructures of a wide variety of materials including accomplished group III–V and II–VI semiconductors as well as newly developing oxides and chalcogenides, leading to major discoveries in condensed-matter physics. For two-dimensional (2D) materials, however, main fabrication routes have been mechanical exfoliation and chemical vapor deposition by making good use of weak van der Waals bonding nature between neighboring layers, and MBE growth of 2D materials, in particular on insulating substrates for transport measurements, has been limited despite its fundamental importance for future advanced research. Here, we report layer-by-layer epitaxial growth of scalable transition-metal dichalocogenide (TMDC) thin films on insulating substrates by MBE and demonstrate ambipolar transistor operation. The proposed growth protocol is broadly applicable to other TMDCs, providing a key milestone to...

Interplay between topological and thermodynamic stability in a metastable magnetic skyrmion lattice
