The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is a phenomenon where a spin current is generated from thermal excitations in magnetic materials. It is believed that magnetic long-range order (LRO) is not required for SSE, while short-ranged order (SRO) plays an important role. However, a definitive experimental demonstration of the connection between the SSE and SRO has been missing. Here, we show that the SSE is able to probe a specific SRO in a model geometrically frustrated magnet Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG). A field-induced SRO in GGG is detected by the SSE in the temperature range 2–5 K. The origin of the SRO is verified by comparing the SSE data directly to existing neutron scattering measurements at much lower temperatures (T<0.9 K), where field-induced LRO exists. Our theoretical calculations of the magnetic structure further confirm the anisotropic field dependence of the SRO in GGG. These findings establish that the SSE can serve as an effective probe of SRO in geometrically frustrated magnets.

In minimally twisted bilayer graphene, a moiré pattern consisting of AB and BA stacking regions separated by domain walls forms. These domain walls are predicted to support counterpropogating topologically protected helical (TPH) edge states when the AB and BA regions are gapped. We fabricate designer moiré crystals with wavelengths longer than 50 nm and demonstrate the emergence of TPH states on the domain wall network by scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements. We observe a double-line profile of the TPH states on the domain walls, only occurring when the AB and BA regions are gapped. Our results demonstrate a practical and flexible method for TPH state network construction.
We show that the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in α-MnTe impacts the transport behavior by generating an anisotropic valence-band splitting, resulting in four spin-polarized pockets near Γ. A minimal k·p model is c...
