A thermodynamic reference for field-induced phenomena in $\alpha$-RuCl${}_3$: two coexisting polymorphs account for multiple magnetic phase transitions

Hamza Nasir Daniel Balazs, Hamza Nasir, Daniel Balazs +6

The majority of research on $\alpha$-RuCl${}_3$ has focused on applying in-plane magnetic fields to suppress the antiferromagnetic order and induce a quantum spin liquid (QSL). However, i…
