The layered honeycomb magnet α-RuCl3 has attracted intense scrutiny as a prime candidate for realizing the Kitaev quantum spin liquid, yet a consensus on its spin Hamiltonian remains elusive due to the material’s extreme sensitivity to subtle structural details. Here, we report a comprehensive re-examination of the low-temperature crystallographic and magnetic structures of high-quality α-RuCl3 single crystals using unpolarized and polarized neutron diffraction [1] [...]

Absorption of hydrogen in thin films is important for a wide range of applications, including hydrogen membranes, sensor technology, and programmable resistors for artificial neural networks. Resonant neutron reflectometry has proven to be a very useful tool for investigation of hydrogen uptake.[1] The hydrogen concentration within a thin film can be studied as function of time [...]
