Macroscopic Manifestation of Domain-wall Magnetism and Magnetoelectric Effect in a Néel-type Skyrmion Host

K. Geirhos, B. Gross, B. G. Szigeti +12

We report a magnetic state in GaVSe which emerges exclusively in samples with mesoscale polar domains and not in polar mono-domain crystals. Its onset is accompanied with a…

Chirality-driven ferroelectricity in LiCuVO

Alexander Ruff, Peter Lunkenheimer, Hans-Albrecht Krug von Nidda +5

Chirality or the handedness of objects is of prime importance in life science, biology, chemistry and physics. It is also a major symmetry ingredient in frustrated magnets revealin…

Thermodynamic evidence of fractionalized excitations in α-RuCl3

S. Widmann, V. Tsurkan, D. A. Prishchenko +3

Fractionalized excitations are of considerable interest in recent condensed-matter physics. Fractionalization of the spin degrees of freedom into localized and itinerant Majorana f…

Sub-gap optical response across the structural phase transition in van der Waals layered α-RuCl

S. Reschke, F. Mayr, S. Widmann +7

We report magnetic, thermodynamic, thermal expansion, and on detailed optical experiments on the layered compound -RuCl focusing on the THz and sub-gap optical response acro…

Weak ferromagnetism and glassy state in kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2Hg(SCN)2Br

M. Hemmida, H. -A. Krug von Nidda, B. Miksch +8

Since the first observation of weak ferromagnetism in the charge-transfer salt kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2-Cu[N(CN)2]Cl [U. Welp et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 69, 840 (1992)], no further evidence…

Structural, magnetic, electric, dielectric, and thermodynamic properties of multiferroic GeV4S8

S. Widmann, A. Günther, E. Ruff +4

The lacunar spinel GeV4S8 undergoes orbital and ferroelectric ordering at the Jahn-Teller transition around 30 K and exhibits antiferromagnetic order below about 14 K. In addition…

On the multiferroic skyrmion-host GaV4S8

S. Widmann, E. Ruff, A. Günther +6

The lacunar spinel GaV4S8 exhibits orbital ordering at 44 K and shows a complex magnetic phase diagram below 12.7 K, which includes ferromagnetic and cycloidal spin order. At low b…
