Researchers develop method to direct nucleation sites in semiconductor crystal growth

A research paper published via Nature describes a technique for controlling where semiconductor crystals begin forming during growth, rather than letting nucleation occur randomly. The underlying article content was not accessible, limiting details on the specific materials, methods or experimental results involved.

Researchers map 3D altermagnetic order in CrSb crystals

Scientists grew high-purity single-crystal CrSb using chemical vapour transport and confirmed its structure through X-ray diffraction, resistivity, magnetization and Laue measurements. Using these bulk-resolved samples, they identified a three-dimensional g-wave altermagnetic order parameter in the material, characterizing how its magnetic symmetry differs from conventional magnets.
