    Crossover of skyrmion and helical modulations in noncentrosymmetric ferromagnets
    (Bristol : Institute of Physics Publishing, 2018) Leonov, A.O.; Bogdanov, A.N.
    The coupling between angular (twisting) and longitudinal modulations arising near the ordering temperature of noncentrosymmetric ferromagnets strongly influences the structure of skyrmion states and their evolution in an applied magnetic field. In the precursor states of cubic helimagnets, a continuous transformation of skyrmion lattices into the saturated state is replaced by the first-order processes accompanied by the formation of multidomain states. Recently the effects imposed by dominant longitudinal modulations have been reported in bulk MnSi and FeGe. Similar phenomena can be observed in the precursor regions of cubic helimagnet epilayers and in easy-plane chiral ferromagnets (e.g. in the hexagonal helimagnet CrNb3S6).

    Highly efficient modulation doping: A path toward superior organic thermoelectric devices
    (Washington, DC [u.a.] : Assoc., 2022) Wang, Shu-Jen; Panhans, Michel; Lashkov, Ilia; Kleemann, Hans; Caglieris, Federico; Becker-Koch, David; Vahland, Jörn; Guo, Erjuan; Huang, Shiyu; Krupskaya, Yulia; Vaynzof, Yana; Büchner, Bernd; Ortmann, Frank; Leo, Karl
    We investigate the charge and thermoelectric transport in modulation-doped large-area rubrene thin-film crystals with different crystal phases. We show that modulation doping allows achieving superior doping efficiencies even for high doping densities, when conventional bulk doping runs into the reserve regime. Modulation-doped orthorhombic rubrene achieves much improved thermoelectric power factors, exceeding 20 μW m−1 K−2 at 80°C. Theoretical studies give insight into the energy landscape of the heterostructures and its influence on qualitative trends of the Seebeck coefficient. Our results show that modulation doping together with high-mobility crystalline organic semiconductor films is a previosly unexplored strategy for achieving high-performance organic thermoelectrics.
