Photoemission of a doped Mott insulator: spectral weight transfer and qualitative Mott-Hubbard description
The spectral weight evolution of the low-dimensional Mott insulator TiOCl
upon alkali-metal dosing has been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy. We
observe a spectral weight transfer between the lower Hubbard band and an
additional peak upon electron-doping, in line with quantitative expectations in
the atomic limit for changing the number of singly and doubly occupied sites.
This observation is an unconditional hallmark of correlated bands and has not
been reported before. In contrast, the absence of a metallic quasiparticle peak
can be traced back to a simple one-particle effect.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, related theoretical work can be found in

Two-Spinon and Orbital Excitations of the Spin-Peierls System TiOCl
We combine high-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering with cluster
calculations utilizing a recently derived effective magnetic scattering
operator to analyze the polarization, excitation energy, and momentum dependent
excitation spectrum of the low-dimensional quantum magnet TiOCl in the range
expected for orbital and magnetic excitations (0 - 2.5 eV). Ti 3d orbital
excitations yield complete information on the temperature-dependent
crystal-field splitting. In the spin-Peierls phase we observe a dispersive
two-spinon excitation and estimate the inter- and intra-dimer magnetic exchange
coupling from a comparison to cluster calculations
Spin configurations in Co2FeAl0.4Si0.6 Heusler alloy thin film elements
We determine experimentally the spin structure of half-metallic
Co2FeAl0.4Si0.6 Heusler alloy elements using magnetic microscopy. Following
magnetic saturation, the dominant magnetic states consist of quasi-uniform
configurations, where a strong influence from the magnetocrystalline anisotropy
is visible. Heating experiments show the stability of the spin configuration of
domain walls in confined geometries up to 800 K. The switching temperature for
the transition from transverse to vortex walls in ring elements is found to
increase with ring width, an effect attributed to structural changes and
consequent changes in magnetic anisotropy, which start to occur in the narrower
elements at lower temperatures.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Comparison of Lagrangian-Eulerian and Eulerian-Eulerian Approaches for Particle Laden Free Surface Flow by Means of Lattice Boltzmann Method
The aim of this study is a comparison of Lagrangian-Eulerian and Eulerian-Eulerian numerical approach for the simulation of fluid-particles interaction. Within the study the immersed particles are restricted to have spherical shapes and are equal or smaller than the resolution of the computational mesh. The interaction between fluid and particles is performed using the immersed boundary method and the free surface flow of an incompressible fluid is simulated using the lattice Boltzmann method. Both approaches are compared within two test problems. Firstly, the swarm of particles falling in the fluid, and secondly, casting of the fluid with dispersed particles into a mold. Both tests showed good qualitative and quantitative agreement of mentioned approaches

Strain-dependent magnetic configurations in manganite-titanate heterostructures probed with soft X-ray techniques
We present a detailed study on the strain-induced magnetic domain structure of a (La,Sr)MnO3 thin film epitaxially grown on a BaTiO3 substrate through the use of polarization-dependent X-ray photoemission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Angular-dependent measurements allow us to detect vector magnetization on a single-domain scale, and we relate the strain-induced changes in magnetic anisotropy of the ferromagnetic film to the ferroelectric domain structure of the underlying substrate using X-ray magnetic circular and linear dichroism spectro-microscopy. Comparisons to measurements on a nearly strain free film of (La,Sr)MnO3 grown on a (La,Sr)(Al,Ta)O3 substrate illustrate that the BaTiO3 ferroelectric domain structure imprints specific domain sizes and wall orientations in the (La,Sr)MnO3/BaTiO3 artificial multiferroic heterostructure. Furthermore, a change of the BaTiO3 ferroelectric domain structure either with temperature or with applied electric field results in a corresponding change in the (La,Sr)MnO3 ferromagnetic domain structure, thus showing a possible route to obtain room-temperature electric field control of magnetic anisotropy at the nanoscal
