Melting upon cooling in a quantum magnet
K. Jaksetič, T. Arh, M. Pregelj +19
Heating enhances thermal fluctuations and typically leads to melting of solids, but in exceptional cases, heating can also cause liquids to solidify. The paradigm of this counterin…
Vortex Crystal Candidate in the Triangular Quantum Antiferromagnet
J. Nagl, K. Yu. Povarov, B. Duncan +16
The prospect of merging the paradigms of geometric frustration on a triangular lattice and bond anisotropies in the strong spin-orbit coupling limit holds tremendous promise in the…
Magnetic properties of the zigzag ladder compound SrTb2O4
F. Orlandi, M. Ciomaga Hatnean, D. A. Mayoh +11
We report on the properties of SrTb2O4, a frustrated zigzag ladder antiferromagnet, studied by single crystal neutron diffraction (with polarised neutrons in zero field and unpolar…
Spontaneous spin chirality reversal and competing phases in the topological magnet EuAl
A. M. Vibhakar, D. D. Khalyavin, F. Orlandi +4
We demonstrate the spontaneous reversal of spin chirality in a single crystal sample of the intermetallic magnet EuAl. We solve the nanoscopic nature of each of the four magnet…
Unusual magnetism of the axion-insulator candidate EuInSb
M. C. Rahn, M. N. Wilson, T. J. Hicken +16
EuInSb is a member of a family of orthorhombic nonsymmorphic rare-earth intermetallics that combines large localized magnetic moments and itinerant exchange with a low…
Field-induced phase transitions and anisotropic magnetic properties of the Kiteav-Heisenberg compound NaCoTeO
A. K. Bera, S. M. Yusuf, F. Orlandi +3
Spin systems with honeycomb structures have recently attracted a great deal of attention in connection with the Kitaev quantum spin liquid state (QSL) predicted theoretically. One…
