Field-induced phase transitions of the Kitaev material $\alpha$-RuCl${}_3$ probed by thermal expansion and magnetostriction

S. Gass, P. M. Cônsoli, V. Kocsis +8

High-resolution thermal expansion and magnetostriction measurements were performed on single crystals of $\alpha$-RuCl${}_3$ in magnetic fields applied parallel to the Ru-Ru bonds. The le…
