C46 ‘ASTRONOMY EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT’: A PECULIAR COMMISSION [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2015
C46 was a Commission of the Executive Committee of the IAU under Division XII (Union-Wide Activities), then after 2012 under Division C (Education, Outreach, and Heritage). It was the only commission dealing exclusively with astronomy education; a previous Commission 38 (Exchange of Astronomers), which allocated travel grants to astronomers who needed ...

Observation of Topological Chirality Switching Induced Freezing of a Skyrmion Crystal

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Using Lorentz Transmission electron microscopy, it is shown that in the insulating van der Waals ferromagnet, CrBr3, a magnetic field can cause Bloch skyrmionic bubbles to spontaneously switch their chirality. As achiral type‐II bubbles are an intermediate state, the bubbles rapidly elongate and shrink when switching, thereby inducing a freezing of the

Disorder Scattering Induced Large Room Temperature Nonlinear Anomalous Hall Effect in a Semiconductor CdGeAs2

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bulk CdGeAs2, a well‐known nonlinear optical semiconductor, exhibits an exceptionally large room‐temperature nonlinear Hall effect (NLHE), achieving a record‐high nonlinear Hall responsivity of 2.2 × 10−3 m/V. This pronounced NLHE enables broadband frequency mixing up to the megahertz regime, establishing CdGeAs2 as a promising platform for next ...

Astronomy as a subject in the secondary school curriculum

Vértices, 2010
Astronomy is regarded as one of the first sciences dominated by man; however, it has not been taught as a subject in secondary school programs. Students usually finish this level of education without knowing several topics in the field of Astronomy which

Asymmetry of the Ferroelectric Phase Transition in BaTiO3

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Phase transitions are typically assumed to behave identically in forward and reverse. This work shows that in the ferroelectric material barium titanate this is not true: heating drives an abrupt, first‐order jump, while cooling gives a smooth, continuous change.
