Melting upon cooling in a quantum magnet
K. JaksetiÄ, 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…

Cr3+ spin dynamics under the octahedral crystal field in van der Waals antiferromagnets
Rabindra Basnet, Subhashree Chatterjee, Paul Kigaya +3
The magnetic moment in van der Waals (vdW) materials containing 3d transition metals originates from unpaired d-electron spins and their interaction with surrounding ligands. The i…

Spin-orbit coupling controlled two-dimensional magnetism in chromium trihalides
Inhee Lee, Jiefu Cen, Oleksandr Molchanov +7
CrX (X = Cl, Br, I) have the same crystal structure and Hamiltonian but different ligand spin-orbit coupling (SOC) constant , providing excellent material platform explor…
