Field-induced multipolar character in the dipolar ground state of the honeycomb rare-earth chalcohalide NdOF

Tiantian Liu, Yanzhen Cai, Mingtai Xie +6

Field-tunable reconstruction of crystalline electric field (CEF) doublets offers a promising avenue for inducing multipolar character, while its observation in real materials has b…

Emergent Dispersive Multipolar Excitations in NaErSe

Zheng Zhang, Mingfang Shu, Mingtai Xie +6

In most condensed-matter systems, local and collective excitations remain decoupled due to their distinct energy scales. Here, we identify coupled local-collective excitations in t…
