    Description: In this paper, we show that indirect spin interaction J between two magnetic impurities located on honeycomb Kane-Mele zigzag/armchair ribbons (KMZR/KMAR) is easily controlled by staggered potential and geometry. We demonstrate that J in periodic-boundary KMZR reaches maximum at the edges, and oscillates between antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic couplings when tuning the sublattice staggered potential Δ. The odd-even length effect of J in KMZR and the width dependence of J in KMAR are also presented. These results clearly demonstrate the unique role of topological edge states and finite-size effect in magnetic coupling of quantum spin Hall (QSH) ribbons, and the controllability of the edge magnetism, hence favoring the fabrication of the spintronic devices in two-dimensional buckled honeycomb materials, e.g., silicene and germanene.

    Description: The effects of cesium (Cs) ion-implantation on uncured plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor-deposited organosilicate low dielectric constant (low- k ) (SiCOH) films have been investigated and compared with an ultraviolet (UV) cured film. The mechanical properties, including the elastic modulus and hardness, of the SiCOH low- k films are improved by up to 30% with Cs implantation, and further up to 52% after annealing at 400 °C in a N 2 ambient for 1 h. These improvements are either comparable to or better than the effects of UV-curing. They are attributed to an enhancement of the Si-O-Si network structure. The k -value of the SiCOH films increased slightly after Cs implantation, and increased further after annealing. These increases are attributed to two carbon-loss mechanisms, i.e., the carbon loss due to Si-CH 3 bond breakage from implanted Cs ions, and the carbon loss due to oxidation during the annealing. The time-zero dielectric breakdown strength was improved after the Cs implantation and the annealing, and was better than the UV-cured sample. These results indicate that Cs ion implantation could be a supplement to or a substitution for the currently used UV curing method for processing SiCOH low- k films.

    Description: It has been found experimentally that the ferroelectricity in Y 2 CoMnO 6 is driven by a magnetic ordering of collinear up-up-down-down ( ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ). Here, the origin of the magnetism and thereby ferroelectricity is studied using first-principles calculations. We first confirm that the experimentally observed ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ antiferromagnetic structure is the ground state of Y 2 CoMnO 6 . Additionally, both the Co 2+ and Mn 4+ are in the high-spin state. By analyzing the exchange coupling and corresponding pathways, we conclude that the ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ spin order in Y 2 CoMnO 6 originates from a subtle competition between the ferromagnetic Co-O-Mn super-exchange and antiferromagnetic Co-Mn direct-exchange along c axis.

    Notes: Spin labeling techniques, specifically the use of electron-spin-polarized He(2 3S) metastable atoms coupled with energy-resolved spin analysis of the ejected electrons, are used to investigate the dynamics of metastable atom deexcitation by molecules in a film several monolayers thick condensed on a cooled Cu(100) surface. Data for CO2, H2O, Cl2, and O2 films show that metastable deexcitation is analogous to gas-phase Penning ionization, i.e., the condensed molecules can be considered as a "solid gas.'' Detailed differences are, however, evident that can be attributed to the presence of neighboring molecules. Data for C60 films are also presented which suggest the possibility of plasmon excitation as is observed in photoionization and electron energy loss data.

    Notes: A technique for absolute calibration of a Mott polarimeter is described that makes use of electrons of accurately known polarization obtained through surface Penning ionization. This approach provides higher count rates and lower uncertainties than obtained in earlier measurements based on gas-phase Penning ionization.

    Description: Flux ropes in the Earth's magnetotail are widely believed to play a crucial role in energy transport during substorms and the generation of energetic particles. Previous kinetic simulations are limited to the local-scale regime, and thus cannot be used to study the structure associated with the geomagnetic field and the global-scale evolution of the flux ropes. Here, the evolution of flux ropes in the magnetotail under a steady southward interplanetary magnetic field are studied with a newly developed three-dimensional global hybrid simulation model for dynamics ranging from the ion Larmor radius to the global convection time scales. Magnetic reconnection with multiple X-lines is found to take place in the near-tail current sheet at geocentric solar magnetospheric distances x = − 30 R E ∼ − 15 R E around the equatorial plane ( z = 0 ). The magnetotail reconnection layer is turbulent, with a nonuniform structure and unsteady evolution, and exhibits properties of typical collisionless fast reconnection with the Hall effect. A number of small-scale flux ropes are generated through the multiple X-line reconnection. The diameter of the flux ropes is several R E , and the spatial scale of the flux ropes in the dawn-dusk direction is on the order of several R E and does not extend across the entire section of the magnetotail, contrary to previous models and MHD simulation results and showing the importance of the three-dimensional effects. The nonuniform and unsteady multiple X-line reconnection with particle kinetic effects leads to various kinds of flux rope evolution: The small-scale flux ropes propagate earthward or tailward after formation, and eventually merge into the near-Earth region or the mid-/distant-tail plasmoid, respectively. During the propagation, some of the flux ropes can be tilted in the geocentric solar magnetospheric ( x , y ) plane with respect to the y (dawn-dusk) axis. Coalescence between flux ropes is also observed. At the same time, the evolution of the flux ropes in the multiple X-line reconnection layer can also lead to the acceleration and heating of ions.
