Fate of Pomeranchuk effect in ultrahigh magnetic fields
Naofumi Matsuyama, So Yokomori, Toshihiro Nomura +8
The Pomeranchuk effect is a counterintuitive phenomenon where liquid helium-3 (3He) solidifies under specific pressures, not when cooled, but when heated. This behaviour originates…
Ferroaxial order of the monolayer ice in martyite
Toshihiro Nomura, Shunsuke Kitou, Junichi Komatsu +13
Ice Ih, the most stable phase of water at ambient pressure, is a stacking of the honeycomb network of water molecules H2O. What if one layer of ice is exfoliated and confined to a…
Anomalous Electrical Transport in the Kagome Magnet YbFeGe
Weiliang Yao, Supeng Liu, Hodaka Kikuchi +19
Two-dimensional (2D) kagome metals offer a unique platform for exploring electron correlation phenomena derived from quantum many-body effects. Here, we report a combined study of…
Piezoelectric Transition in a Nonpyroelectric Gyroidal Metal-Organic Framework
Shunsuke Kitou, Hajime Ishikawa, Yusuke Tokunaga +8
Among the thirty-two crystallographic point groups, 432 is the only one that lacks an inversion center but does not exhibit piezoelectricity. A gyroidal structure belongs to point…
