Elucidation of the helical spin structure of FeAs (2017)
Journal Article
Frawley, T., Schoonmaker, R., Lee, S., Du, C., Steadman, P., Strempfer, J., …Hatton, P. (2017). Elucidation of the helical spin structure of FeAs. Physical Review B, 95(6), Article 064424. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.95.064424

We present the results of resonant x-ray scattering measurements and electronic structure calculations on the monoarsenide FeAs. We elucidate details of the magnetic structure, showing the ratio of ellipticity of the spin helix is larger than previou... Read More about Elucidation of the helical spin structure of FeAs.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bosson, C., Birch, M., Halliday, D., Knight, K., Tang, C., Kleppe, A., & Hatton, P. (2016, June). Crystal structure and cation disorder in bulk Cu2ZnSnS4 using neutron diffraction and X-ray anomalous scattering. Presented at 2016 IEEE 43rd Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC), Portland, OR

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is a promising material for the absorber layer in sustainable thin film photovoltaic cells, but its best efficiencies are currently limited by low open-circuit voltages, thought to be due to defects such as disorder between the coppe...

A novel artificially created MnO2 monolayer system is demonstrated in atomically controlled epitaxial perovskite heterostructures. With careful design of different electrostatic boundary conditions, a magnetic transition as well as a metal–insulator...

Inverse order-disorder transition of charge stripes (2015)
Journal Article

We present the results of transverse field (TF) muon-spin rotation (μ+SR) measurements on Cu2OSeO3, which has a skyrmion-lattice (SL) phase. We measure the response of the TF μ+SR signal in that phase along with the surrounding ones, and suggest how...
