Field-induced first order transitions and phase coexistence in the Kitaev quantum spin liquid candidate BaCo2(AsO4)2
Tanner J. Legvold, Bin Gao, Rong-Zhu Lin +9
BaCo2(AsO4)2 (BCAO) is an insulating Kitaev quantum spin liquid candidate with a rich low-temperature phase diagram. Below 5 K, it exhibits double-zigzag magnetic order. Upon appli…
Bi-altermagnetism unveiled by sublattice-specific circular dichroism in resonant inelastic X-ray scattering
G. Channagowdra, A. Singh, H. Y. Huang +9
An altermagnet is a recently identified class of magnets that exhibit a zero net magnetic moment but break symmetry under the combined operations of parity and time reversal. It ty…
Spectroscopic Demarcation of Emergent Photons and Spinons in a Dipolar-Octupolar Quantum Spin Liquid
Bin Gao, Zhengbang Zhou, Tingjun Zhang +4
The identification of fractionalized excitations in quantum spin liquids (QSLs) remains a central challenge in condensed matter physics. In dipolar-octupolar (DO) pyrochlores, such…
Signatures of three-state Potts nematicity in spin excitations of the van der Waals antiferromagnet FePSe
Weiliang Yao, Viviane Peçanha Antonio, Devashibhai Adroja +6
In two-dimensional (2D) nearly square-lattice quantum materials, electron correlations can induce an electronic nematic phase with twofold rotational () symmetry that profound…
Anomalous properties of spark plasma sintered boron nitride solids
Abhijit Biswas, Peter Serles, Gustavo A. Alvarez +22
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a brittle ceramic with a layered structure, however, recent experiments have suggested that inter-layer structural engineering could be key to new…
