CISS implies that the spin preference of chiral structures persists upon injection of pure spin currents and can act as a spin analyzer without the need for a ferromagnet. Here, we report an anomalous spin current absorption in chiral metal oxides that manifests a colossal anisotropic nonlocal Gilbert damping with a maximum-to-minimum ratio of up to 1000%. A twofold symmetry of the damping is shown to result from differential spin transmission and backscattering that arise from chirality-induced spin splitting along the chiral axis. These studies reveal the rich interplay of chirality and spin dynamics and identify how chiral materials can be implemented to direct the transport of spin current.}, number={18}, journal={SCIENCE ADVANCES}, author={Sun, Rui and Wang, Ziqi and Bloom, Brian P. and Comstock, Andrew H. and Yang, Cong and McConnell, Aeron and Clever, Caleb and Molitoris, Mary and Lamont, Daniel and Cheng, Zhao-Hua and et al.}, year={2024}, month={May} } @article{xiong_christy_dong_comstock_sun_li_cahoon_yang_zhang_2024, title={Combinatorial split-ring and spiral metaresonator for efficient magnon-photon coupling}, volume={21}, ISSN={["2331-7019"]}, DOI={10.1103/PhysRevApplied.21.034034}, abstractNote={Developing hybrid materials and structures for electromagnetic wave engineering has been a promising route towards novel functionalities and tunabilities in many modern applications. Despite its established success in engineering optical light and terahertz waves, the implementation of metaresonators operating in the microwave band is still emerging, especially the implementation of metaresonators that allow on-chip integration and size miniaturization, which is crucial for developing hybrid quantum systems in the microwave band. In this work, we present a microwave metaresonator consisting of split-ring and spiral resonators, and implement it for the investigation of photon-magnon coupling for hybrid magnonic applications. We observe broadened bandwidth of the split-ring modes augmented by the additional spiral resonator, and, by coupling the modes to a magnetic sample, the resultant photon-magnon coupling can be significantly enhanced by more than tenfold. Our work suggests that combinatorial, hybrid microwave resonators may be a promising approach towards future development and implementation of photon-magnon coupling in hybrid magnonic systems.}, number={3}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW APPLIED}, author={Xiong, Yuzan and Christy, Andrew and Dong, Yun and Comstock, Andrew H. and Sun, Dali and Li, Yi and Cahoon, James F. and Yang, Binbin and Zhang, Wei}, year={2024}, month={Mar} } @article{montoya_grimley_aykol_ophus_sternlicht_savitzky_minor_torrisi_goedjen_chung_et al._2024, title={How the AI-assisted discovery and synthesis of a ternary oxide highlights capability gaps in materials science}, ISSN={["2041-6539"]}, DOI={10.1039/d3sc04823c}, abstractNote={Exploratory synthesis has been the main generator of new inorganic materials for decades.

Here we show the observation of spin currents generated by chiral phonons in a two-dimensional layered hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite implanted with chiral cations when subjected to a thermal gradient. The generated spin current shows a strong dependence on the chirality of the film and external magnetic fields, of which the coefficient is orders of magnitude larger than that produced by the reported spin Seebeck effect.

In this work, we demonstrate REE at Pt/ferroelectric interfaces using the recently elucidated spin-Hall Hanle effects (SHHE), in which a Larmor precession of spin polarization in a diffusion process from the interface manifest as magnetoresistance and Hall effect. We show that REE leads to a three-fold enhancement of the effective spin Hall angle in ferroelectric interface Pt/h-LuFeO3 compared to that of Pt /Al2O3, although the difference in the spin relaxation time is negligible. Modeling using SHHEs involving REE as an additional source of interfacial polarization suggests that REE can lead to an interfacial spin Hall angle (~0.3) that is one order of magnitude larger than the bulk value of Pt. Our results demonstrate that a ferroelectric interface can produce large spin-charge conversion and that SHHEs are a sensitive tool for characterizing interfacial spin transport properties.}, number={24}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW B}, author={Li, Jing and Comstock, Andrew H. and Mcconnell, Aeron and Li, Xin and Yun, Yu and Sun, Dali and Xu, Xiaoshan}, year={2023}, month={Dec} } @article{comstock_chou_wang_wang_song_sklenar_amassian_zhang_lu_liu_et al._2023, title={Hybrid magnonics in hybrid perovskite antiferromagnets}, volume={14}, ISSN={["2041-1723"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-37505-w}, DOI={10.1038/s41467-023-37505-w}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={1}, journal={NATURE COMMUNICATIONS}, author={Comstock, Andrew H. and Chou, Chung-Tao and Wang, Zhiyu and Wang, Tonghui and Song, Ruyi and Sklenar, Joseph and Amassian, Aram and Zhang, Wei and Lu, Haipeng and Liu, Luqiao and et al.}, year={2023}, month={Apr} } @article{li_draher_comstock_xiong_haque_easy_qian_polakovic_pearson_divan_et al._2023, title={Probing intrinsic magnon bandgap in a layered hybrid perovskite antiferromagnet by a superconducting resonator}, volume={5}, ISSN={["2643-1564"]}, DOI={10.1103/PhysRevResearch.5.043031}, abstractNote={Coherent interactions between different magnetic excitations can lead to formation of magnon band gaps and hybrid magnon modes, which can find their applications in magnonic devices and coherent information processing. In this work, we probe the intrinsic magnon band gap of a layered hybrid perovskite antiferromagnet by its strong coupling to a superconducting resonator. The pronounced temperature tunability of the magnon band gap location allows us to set the photon mode within the gap, leading to a reduction of effective magnon-photon coupling and eventually the disappearance of magnon-photon hybridization. When the resonator mode falls into the magnon band gap, the resonator damping rate increases due to the nonzero coupling to the detuned magnon mode. This allows for quantification of the magnon band gap using an analytical model.

In particular, scanning tunneling spectroscopy has indicated a Mott gap in $\ensuremath{\alpha}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{\mathrm{RuCl}}_{3}$ that is much lower than the 2-eV value observed in photoemission measurements.

A data-driven non-invasive diagnostic screening tool that distinguishes the electro-pathophysiology of pediatric functional nausea from healthy controls would be an invaluable aid to support clinical decision-making in diagnosis and management of patient treatment methodology. The purpose of this paper is to present an innovative approach for objectively classifying pediatric functional nausea using cutaneous high-resolution electrogastrogram data. Methods: We present an Automated Electrogastrogram Data Analytics Pipeline framework and demonstrate its use in a 3x8 factorial design to identify an optimal classification model according to a defined objective function. Low-fidelity synthetic high-resolution electrogastrogram data were generated to validate outputs and determine SOBI-ICA noise reduction effectiveness. Results: A 10 parameter support vector machine binary classifier with a radial basis function kernel was selected as the overall top-performing model from a pool of over 1000 alternatives via maximization of an objective function. This resulted in a 91.6% test ROC AUC score. Conclusion: Using an automated machine learning pipeline approach to process high-resolution electrogastrogram data allows for clinically significant objective classification of pediatric functional nausea. Significance: To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate clinically significant performance in the objective classification of pediatric nausea patients from healthy control subjects using experimental high-resolution electrogastrogram data.
