Disorder-induced proximate quantum spin ice phase in Pr2Sn2O7
Yi Luo, Brenden R. Ortiz, Miles J. Knudtson +9
Magnetic pyrochlores with non-Kramers rare-earth ions provide a platform for exploring emergent gauge physics and quantum spin-ice behavior, yet the influence of structural disorde…
Crystal-Field Symmetry Constraints in Layered Honeycomb ErBr
Biaoyan Hu, Mingyuan Hu, Franz Demmel +3
We show that the local crystal-field symmetry of ErBr enforces within the ground-state Kramers doublet, thereby removing the low…
Phase Diagram and Spectroscopic Signatures of a Supersolid in Quantum Ising Magnet KCo(SeO)
Tong Chen, Alireza Ghasemi, Junyi Zhang +17
A supersolid is a quantum-entangled state of matter exhibiting the dual characteristics of superfluidity and solidity. Theory predicts that hard-core bosons with repulsive interact…
Synthesis and characterization of the novel breathing pyrochlore compound Ba3Tm2Zn5O11
Lalit Yadav, Rabindranath Bag, Ramesh Dhakal +10
In this study, a novel material from the rare-earth based breathing pyrochlore family, Ba3Tm2Zn5O11, was successfully synthesized. Powder x-ray diffraction and high-resolution powd…
