SwissFEL

Die jüngste Grossforschungsanlage des PSI erzeugt sehr kurze Pulse von Röntgenlicht mit Lasereigenschaften. Damit können Forschende extrem schnelle Vorgänge wie die Entstehung neuer Moleküle bei chemischen Reaktionen verfolgen, die detaillierte Struktur lebenswichtiger Proteine bestimmen oder den genauen Aufbau von Materialien klären. Die Erkenntnisse erweitern unser Verständnis der Natur und führen zu praktischen Anwendungen wie etwa neuen Medikamenten, effizienteren Prozessen in der chemischen Industrie oder neuen Materialien in der Elektronik.

Magnetostructural Coupling at the Néel Point in YNiO3 Single Crystals

The recent discovery of superconductivity in infinite layer thin films and bulk Ruddlesden–Popper nickelates has stimulated the investigation of other predicted properties of these materials. Among them, the existence of magnetism-driven ferroelectricity in the parent compounds RNiO3 (R = 4f lanthanide and Y) at the onset of the Néel order, TN, has remained particularly elusive. Using diffraction techniques, we reveal here the existence of magnetostriction at TN in bulk YNiO3 single crystals. Interestingly, the associated lattice anomalies ...

Elusive multiferroicity in RNiO3 perovskites

In our recent paper we examined YNiO3 and proved that the RNiO3 type material known for its metal-insulator transition is in fact a type II multiferroic. We provide direct evidence of an electric-field-driven switch of the noncolliear magnetic state finally confirming the proposed type II multiferroic nature of YNiO3.

Move the soft mode by electric fields in quantum paraelectric SrTiO3

PSI Researcher used inelastic neutron scattering to show how collective lattice vibrations can be controlled by electric fields. These results indicate that different eigenmodes can couple in field in this incipient ferroelectric.

Conventional superconductivity in the doped kagome superconductor Cs(V0.86Ta0.14)3Sb5 from vortex lattice studies

A hallmark of unconventional superconductors is a complex electronic phase diagram where intertwined orders of charge-spin-lattice degrees of freedom compete and coexist. While the kagome metals such as CsV3Sb5 also exhibit complex behavior, involving coexisting charge density wave order and superconductivity, much is unclear about the microscopic origin of the superconducting pairing. We study the vortex lattice in the superconducting state of Cs(V0.86Ta0.14)3Sb5, where the Ta-doping suppresses charge order and enhances superconductivity. Using small-angle neutron scattering ...

Fourth Mu3e Data Challenge

Fourth Data Challenge

The Mu3e data challenges aim at establishing the data processing and storage procedures as well as the online monitoring tools. To this end, we use simulated data to test all involved systems and further develop the code. In the forth edition, we aimed at incorporating the farm FPGAs, GPU selection and advanced subdetector monitoring tools.
