    Valence effect on the thermopower of Eu systems
    (College Park, MD : American Physical Society, 2020) Stockert, U.; Seiro, S.; Seiro, S.; Caroca-Canales, N.; Hassinger, E.; Hassinger, E.; Geibel, C.
    We investigated the thermoelectric transport properties of EuNi2P2 and EuIr2Si2 to evaluate the relevance of Kondo interaction and valence fluctuations in these materials. While the thermal conductivities behave conventionally, the thermopower curves exhibit large values with pronounced maxima as typically observed in Ce- and Yb-based heavy-fermion materials. However, neither the positions of these maxima nor the absolute thermopower values at low temperature are in line with the heavy-fermion scenario and the moderately enhanced effective charge carrier masses. Instead, we may relate the thermopower in our materials to the temperature-dependent Eu valence by taking into account changes in the chemical potential. Our analysis confirms that valence fluctuations play an important role in EuNi2P2 and EuIr2Si2.

    Thickness dependence of the anomalous Nernst effect and the Mott relation of Weyl semimetal Co2MnGa thin films
    (College Park, MD : American Physical Society, 2020) Park, G.-H.; Reichlova, H.; Schlitz, R.; Lammel, M.; Markou, A.; Swekis, P.; Ritzinger, P.; Kriegner, D.; Noky, J.; Gayles, J.; Sun, Y.; Felser, C.; Nielsch, K.; Goennenwein, S.T.B.; Thomas, A.
    We report a robust anomalous Nernst effect in Co2MnGa thin films in the thickness regime between 20 and 50 nm. The anomalous Nernst coefficient varied in the range of -2.0 to -3.0 μV/K at 300 K. We demonstrate that the anomalous Hall and Nernst coefficients exhibit similar behavior and fulfill the Mott relation. We simultaneously measure all four transport coefficients of the longitudinal resistivity, transversal resistivity, Seebeck coefficient, and anomalous Nernst coefficient. We connect the values of the measured and calculated Nernst conductivity by using the remaining three magnetothermal transport coefficients, where the Mott relation is still valid. The intrinsic Berry curvature dominates the transport due to the relation between the longitudinal and transversal transport. Therefore, we conclude that the Mott relationship is applicable to describe the magnetothermoelectric transport in Weyl semimetal Co2MnGa as a function of film thickness.

    Generalization of coupled S-parameter calculation to compute beam impedances in particle accelerators
    (College Park, MD : American Physical Society, 2020) Flisgen, Thomas; Gjonaj, Erion; Glock, Hans-Walter; Tsakanian, Andranik
    In this article, a decomposition approach for the computation of beam coupling impedances is proposed. This approach can account for the mutual electromagnetic coupling in long accelerator structures consisting of several consecutive segments. The method is based on the description of the individual segments using a multimodal network matrix formulation in which the charged particle beam is considered as an additional port. Then, the generalized multimodal network matrices of all segments are combined to a multimodal network matrix of the complete structure. The beam coupling impedance as well as the scattering parameters of the full structure are recovered as particular matrix elements in this multimodal network matrix. The new method generalizes Coupled S-Parameter Calculation (CSC) introduced in earlier work such that charged particle beams are considered. Consequently, the introduced scheme is referred to as CSC. Application examples for realistic accelerator components such as the simulation of a full TESLA 1.3 GHz-cavity of the European XFEL are provided. These simulations demonstrate the high accuracy and numerical performance of the proposed method.

    Visualization of localized perturbations on a (001) surface of the ferromagnetic semimetal EuB6
    (College Park, MD : American Physical Society, 2020) Rößler, S.; Jiao, L.; Seiro, S.; Rosa, P.F.S.; Fisk, Z.; Rößler, U.K.; Wirth, S.
    We performed scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy on a (001) surface of the ferromagnetic semimetal EuB6. Large-amplitude oscillations emanating from the elastic scattering of electrons by the surface impurities are observed in topography and in differential conductance maps. Fourier transform of the conductance maps embracing these regions indicate a holelike dispersion centered around the Γ point of the two-dimensional Brillouin zone. Using density functional theory slab calculations, we identify a spin-split surface state, which stems from the dangling pz orbitals of the apical boron atom. Hybridization with bulk electronic states leads to a resonance enhancement in certain regions around the Γ point, contributing to the remarkably strong real-space response around static point defects, which are observed in STM measurements.
