We report the magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) angle of Au magnetically excited by spin accumulation. We perform time-resolved polar MOKE measurements on Au/Co heterostructures. In our experiment, the ultrafast optical excitation of the Co drives spin accumulation into an adjacent Au layer. The spin accumulation, together with spin-orbit coupling, leads to nonzero terms in the off-diagonal conductivity tensor of Au, which we measure by recording the polarization and ellipticity of light reflected from the Au surface for photon energies between 1.3 and 3.1 eV. In a narrow energy range near the interband transition threshold of Au, the sensitivity to magnetization measured exceeds 1μradperA/m. In the photon energy interval of 0.6–4.4 eV, the maximum value for transition ferromagnetic metals like Ni are <10nradperA/m, while predicted values for heavy metals like Pt or W are <13nradperA/m. The exceptional sensitivity of the optical properties of Au to spin magnetic moments make Au an exceptionally sensitive optical magnetometer, with potential applications in the development of optospintronic technologies.

Band topology of anomalous quantum Hall insulators can be precisely addressed by computing the Chern numbers of constituent nondegenerate bands, describing the presence of quantized, Abelian Berry flux through the two-dimensional Brillouin zone. Can Berry flux be captured for the SU(2) Berry connection of two-fold degenerate bands in spinful materials preserving space-inversion (P) and time-reversal (T) symmetries without detailed knowledge of underlying basis? We address this question by investigating the correspondence between a non-Abelian generalization of Stokes' theorem and the manifestly gauge-invariant eigenvalues of Wilson loops computed along in-plane contours which preserve the underlying crystalline symmetry. The importance of this correspondence is elucidated by performing natural number resolved classification of ab initio band structures of three-dimensional, Dirac materials. Our work underscores how identification of quantized Berry flux, both Abelian and non-Abelian, offers a unified framework for addressing first-order and higher-order topology of insulators and semimetals.

Facility Management (FM) practices requires an efficient representations and reliable tools. Building information Modelling (BIM) held great potential for FM maintenance practices providing necessary facility information. Slow adoption of new technologies in the built environment is still a burden due to several factors like the lack of information sharing and collaborations, and the poor level of trust of information. In the built environment public sector, data security remains one of the maj or system deficiencies. With the blockchain technology (BC) evolving in recent times, security of data could be leveraged. This research establishes a framework utilizing managed BC in the built environment FM. The scope of this system is to integrate the benefits of BIM and BC to manage data from an loT platform gathering ambient conditions information. The flow of information is regarded in the established framework through the integration of four modules, namely, 1) data collection module, 2) data processing module, 3) data storage module, and 4) data visualization module. Furthermore, the developed framework is tested and applied for the validation of the approach. Results of the system are shown and are established by the system to be continuously updated and stored. The developed system serves as a trusted-fully secure tool for FM practitioners to assess and visualize indoor ambient comfort. Thus, the developed tool is proposing a state-of art-concept in the quest of the industry to reach a common data platform for the whole facility life-cycle.

The enthalpy change involved in metal oxide reduction is a key quantity in various processes related to energy conversion and storage and is of particular interest for computational prediction. Often this prediction involves the simulation of a high-temperature reduction process with a 0-K methodology like density functional theory (DFT), and it is not infrequent for the high temperature and 0-K stable crystal structures to differ. This introduces a conundrum with regard to the choice of crystal structure to utilize in the computation, with approaches in the literature varying and experimental validation remaining scarce. In this work, we address both the crystal structure conundrum and the experimental validation, and then apply the insights we gain to guide a high-throughput search for new materials for solar thermochemical water-splitting applications. By computing the DFT+U oxygen-vacancy formation energy (ΔEvf) of a selection of ABO3 compounds and comparing different crystal structures for each composition, we highlight the issues that arise when the structure utilized in the computation is dynamically unstable at 0 K, namely the presence of an artificial lowering of ΔEvf, and the lack of convergence of ΔEvf with cell size. We solve these limitations by identifying and employing a suitable surrogate dynamically stable structure. We then validate the predictive power of our calculations against appositely generated experimental measurements of reduction enthalpy for a series of Hubbard U values, finding an accuracy ranging between 0.2–0.6 eV/O. In light of such conclusions, we revise and expand a previous a high-throughput DFT study on ABO3 perovskite oxides. We provide a list of candidate STCH materials, highlight trends with redox-active cation and structural distortion, and identify Mn4+, Mn3+, and Co3+ as the most promising redox-active cations.
