Influence of the Magnetic Sub-Lattices in the Double Perovskite Compound LaCaNiReO$_6$

The magnetism of double perovskites is a complex phenomenon, determined from intra- or interatomic magnetic moment interactions, and strongly influenced by geometry. We take advantage of the complementary length and time scales of the muon spin rotation, relaxation and resonance ($μ^+$SR) microscopic technique and bulk AC/DC magnetic susceptibility measurements to study the magnetic phases of the LaCaNiReO$_6$ double perovskite. As a result we are able to discern and report a newly found dynamic phase transition and the formation of magnetic domains below and above the known magnetic transition of this compound at T$_N$ = 103 K. $μ^+$SR, serving as a local probe at crystallographic interstitial sites, reveals a transition from a metastable ferrimagnetic ordering below T = 103 K to a stable one below T = 30 K. The fast and slow collective dynamic state of this system are investigated. Between 103 K < T < 230 K, the following two magnetic environments appear, a dense spin region and a static-dilute spin region. The paramagnetic state is obtained only above T > 270 K. An evolution of the interaction between Ni and Re magnetic sublattices in this geometrically frustrated fcc perovskite structure, is revealed as a function of temperature and magnetic field, through the critical behaviour and thermal evolution of microscopic and macroscopic physical quantities.

Electronic Coupling between the Unoccupied States of the Organic and Inorganic Sub-Lattices of Methylammonium Lead Iodide a Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Perovskite Single Crystal

Organic-inorganic halide perovskites have been intensively re-investigated due to their applications, yet the opto-electronic function of the organic cation remains unclear. Through organic-selective resonant Auger electron spectroscopy measurements on well-defined single crystal surfaces, we find evidence for electronic coupling in the unoccupied states between the organic and inorganic sub-lattices of the prototypical hybrid perovskite, which is contrary to the notion based on previous studies that the organic cation is electronically inert. The coupling is relevant for electron dynamics in the material and for understanding opto-electronic functionality.

Gone in 23 Attoseconds: Charge Transfer in Resonantly Core Excited Black Phosphorous

How fast processes can we measure? Attosecond physics address the limit of measurable time in science. Atomic X-ray excited states offers a way to study extremely fast dynamics with chemical specificity. In black phosphorous an X-ray excited electron can relocate in 22.7 attoseconds. Using the lifetime of the P 1s core-hole as time-base, the radiationless decay spectrum can be used to study charge transfer processes on the time-scale of the atomic unit of time (24 attoseconds). We demonstrate that the technique can be extended to within a few percent of the core hole's lifetime, an order of magnitude smaller than previously thought.
