From the Discovery of the Giant Magnetocaloric Effect to the Development of High‐Power‐Density Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The article overviews past and current efforts on caloric materials and systems, highlighting the contributions of Ames National Laboratory to the field. Solid‐state caloric heat pumping is an innovative method that can be implemented in a wide range of cooling and heating applications.

Interlayer‐Sliding‐Enabled Multiferroicity and Giant Switchable Anomalous Hall Conductivity in RuO2Zn2F2 Bilayer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Interlayer sliding in the RuO2Zn2F2 bilayer induces ferroelectricity and enables reversible valley polarization switching. The electric dipole and valley‐resolved band edges are intimately coupled, revealing sliding ferroelectricity as a powerful mechanism for electrical control of valley degrees of freedom in 2D materials.

Thinking with Monsters

open access: yes, 2018
Optimistic instrumentalism dominates the narratives and discourse(s) that attend recent technology advances. Most future-studies methods in current use depend on projecting properties, processes, facts or conditions of the present into the future. Absent is substantive engagement with the human condition and day-to-day life such technological futures ...

Here Be Monsters: Imperialism, Knowledge and the Limits of Empire [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
It has become a truism in discussions of Imperialist literature to state that the British empire was, in a very significant way, a textual exercise. Empire was simultaneously created and perpetuated through a proliferation of texts (governmental, legal ...

Oxygen Vacancies Driven Photoconductivity in Layered Cobaltite Epitaxial Films

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding photoinduced phenomena in complex oxides is crucial for developing next‐generation optoelectronic devices. Here, we report pronounced ultraviolet (UV) light‐induced photoconductivity in epitaxial PrBa1‐xCaxCo2O5+δ (x = 0.5) thin films grown on (001) LSAT substrates via pulsed laser deposition.

Emergent Spin Fluctuation and Structural Metastability in Self‐Intercalated Cr1+xTe2${\rm Cr}_{1+x}{\rm Te}_2$ Compounds

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Metastable superstructure and emergent spin fluctuation in self‐intercalated Cr1+xTe2${\rm Cr}_{1+x}{\rm Te}_2$ ABSTRACT Intercalated van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials host unique magnetic properties due to the interplay of competing interlayer and intralayer exchange couplings, which depend on the intercalant concentration within the van der ...

Computing in the Monster

open access: yesJournal of Symbolic Computation, 2001
The author speculates on various possible methods of computing in the Monster sporadic simple group. The huge size of this group makes this a hard problem, but it seems clear that any efficient system must make use of fast computation in one or more (large) subgroups. Explicit descriptions of several such subgroups are given, together with some results

The impact of the Russia–Ukraine war on stock prices, profits and perceptions in the food supply chain

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 had profound consequences for the global economy. As both countries are major commodity exporters, the food value chain was also affected. This study investigates the impact of the invasion on stock prices, profitability and sentiments of agribusinesses along the food supply chain by using an ...

Molecular Gas Content of HI Monsters and Implications to Cold Gas Content Evolution in Galaxies

open access: yes, 2014
We present 12CO (J=1-0) observations of a sample of local galaxies (0.041.5e10Msun). Our sample selection is purely based on the amount of neutral hydrogen, thereby providing a chance to study how atomic and molecular gas relate to each other in these HI-
