Search for vacancies in concentrated solid-solution alloys with fcc crystal structure

L. Resch, M. Luckabauer, N. Helthuis, N. L. Okamoto, T. Ichitsubo, R. Enzinger, W. Sprengel, and R. Würschum

Phys. Rev. Materials 4, 060601(R) (2020) - Published 22 June, 2020

For fcc concentrated solid-solution alloys (CSA), the concentration of quenched-in thermal vacancies was experimentally determined by the direct and vacancy-specific technique of positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy. Whereas fcc alloys with only three constituents in nonequimolar fractions (CrFeNi) exhibit vacancy concentrations of about 10 $^{- 5}$ , the CSA (CoCrFeNi, CoCrFeMnNi) with four or five equimolar components do not show a vacancy-specific positron lifetime. Hence, there is either a vanishingly small concentration (10 $^{- 6}$ ) of vacancies being generated at high temperatures close to the onset of melting, or the generated vacancies are inherently unstable. Both indications are completely unexpected and support that CSA can be regarded as a special class of metallic material.

Temperature scaling behavior of the linear magnetoresistance observed in high-temperature superconductors

John Singleton

Phys. Rev. Materials 4, 061801(R) (2020) - Published 25 June, 2020

The observation of linear magnetoresistance (LMR) in “strange metals” such as cuprate superconductors has generated a great deal of interest and speculation. This paper presents an analytical magnetoresistance model invoking variations in the charge-carrier density. Magnetoresistance curves generated by the model are almost indistinguishable from those produced by sophisticated numerical approaches, demonstrating that, though disorder is pivotal in causing LMR, the form of the magnetoresistance is insensitive to details of the disorder. Using the analytical model, realistic levels of disorder are sufficient to explain the LMR and field-temperature resistance scaling observed in high-temperature superconductors, without the need to invoke “strangeness”.

Structural evolution and skyrmionic phase diagram of the lacunar spinel ${GaMo}_{4} {Se}_{8}$

Emily C. Schueller, Daniil A. Kitchaev, Julia L. Zuo, Joshua D. Bocarsly, Joya A. Cooley, Anton Van der Ven, Stephen D. Wilson, and Ram Seshadri

Phys. Rev. Materials 4, 064402 (2020) - Published 1 June, 2020

The lacunar spinel family, which contains multiferroic skyrmion hosts GaV4S $_{8}$ and GaV $_{4}$ Se $_{8}$ , is characterized by unique metal–metal bonding leading to strong coupling between crystal structure and magnetism. Synchrotron diffraction analysis of the low temperature crystal structure of GaMo $_{4}$ Se $_{8}$ , a less studied member of the family, reveals coexistence of the reported rhombohedral crystal structure and a new metastable orthorhombic structure. Computational and experimental characterization of the magnetic phase diagram of GaMo $_{4}$ Se $_{8}$ indicates that slight crystal structure differences lead to distinct magnetic properties; the reported $R 3 m$ phase hosts skyrmions similar to GaV $_{4}$ Se $_{8}$ , while the novel $I m m 2$ phase is a strongly uniaxial ferromagnet.
