Domain walls, topological defects that define the frontier between regions of different stacking order in multilayer graphene, have proved to host exciting physics. The ability to tune these topological defects in situ in an electronic transport experiment brings a wealth of possibilities in terms of fundamental understanding of domain walls as well as for electronic applications. Here, we demonstrate, through a MEMS (microelectromechanical system) actuator and magnetoresistance measurements, the effect of domain walls in multilayer graphene quantum Hall effect. Reversible and controlled uniaxial strain triggers the topological defects, manifested as addtional quantum Hall effect plateaus as well as a discrete and reversible modulation of the current across the device. Our findings are supported by theoretical calculations and constitute indication of the in situ tuning of topological defects in multilayer graphene probed through electronic transport, opening the way for the use of reversible topological defects in electronic applications.

Organic charge transfer complexes (CTCs) can be grown as thin films on intercalated graphene (Gr). Deciphering their precise film morphologies requires global ab initio structure search, where configurational sampling is computationally intractable unless we reconsider the model for the complex substrate. In this study, we employ charged freestanding Gr to approximate an intercalated Gr/O/Ir(111) substrate, without altering the adsoption properties of deposited molecules. We compare different methods of charging Gr and select the most appropriate substitute model for Gr/O/Ir(111) that maintains the adsorption properties of fluorinated tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ) and tetrathiafulvalene (TTF), prototypical electron acceptor/donor molecules in CTCs. Next, we apply our model in the Bayesian optimization structure search method and density-functional theory to identify the stable structures of F4TCNQ and TTF on supported Gr. We find that both molecules physisorb to Gr in various configurations. The narrow range of adsorption energies indicates that the molecules may diffuse easily on the surface and molecule-molecule interactions likely have a central role in film formation. Our study shows that complex intercalated substrates may be approximated with charged freestanding Gr, which can facilitate exhaustive structure search of CTCs.

Just as electronic shot noise in driven conductors results from the granularity of charge and the statistical variation in the arrival times of charge carriers, there are predictions for fundamental noise in magnon currents due to angular momentum being carried by discrete excitations. The inverse spin Hall effect as a transduction mechanism to convert spin current into charge current raises the prospect of experimental investigations of such magnon shot noise. Spin Seebeck effect measurements have demonstrated the electrical detection of thermally driven magnon currents and have been suggested as an avenue for accessing spin current fluctuations. Using spin Seebeck structures made from yttrium iron garnet on gadolinium gallium garnet, we demonstrate the technical challenges inherent in such noise measurements. While there is a small increase in voltage noise in the inverse spin Hall detector at low temperatures associated with adding a magnetic field, the dependence on field orientation implies that this is not due to magnon shot noise. We describe theoretical predictions for the expected magnitude of magnon shot noise, highlighting ambiguities that exist. Further, we show that magnon shot noise detection through the standard inverse spin Hall approach is likely impossible due to geometric factors. Implications for future attempts to measure magnon shot noise are discussed.

The two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is a fundamental model, which is drawing increasing interest because of recent advances in experimental and theoretical studies of 2D materials. Current understanding of the ground state of the 2DEG relies on quantum Monte Carlo calculations, based on variational comparisons of different Ansätze for different phases. We use a single variational ansatz, a general backflow-type wave function using a message-passing neural quantum state architecture, for a unified description across the entire density range. The variational optimization consistently leads to lower ground-state energies than previous best results. Transition into a Wigner crystal (WC) phase occurs automatically at rs=37±1, a density lower than currently believed. Between the liquid and WC phases, the same ansatz and variational search strongly suggest the existence of intermediate states in a broad range of densities, with enhanced short-range nematic spin correlations.
