Significance Magnetoresistance has a history of revealing key electronic characteristics materials. From early measurements on noble metals to definitive characterization localization effects in semiconductors recent studies topological materials, the magnetoresistive response provides an experimental technique explore Fermi surface detail, and predict craft physical properties through its sign, functional form, potential quantum character. Linear magnetoresistance density-wave systems...
Magnetism and superconductivity often compete for preeminence as a material's ground state, in the right circumstances fluctuating remains of magnetic order can induce superconducting pairing. The intertwining two on microscopic level, independent lattice excitations, is especially pronounced heavy fermion compounds, rare earth cuprates, iron pnictides. Here we point out that helical arrangement localized spins, variable pitch length provides unique tuning process from ferromagnetic to...
Abstract The phenomena of antisymmetric magnetoresistance and the planar Hall effect are deeply entwined with ferromagnetism. intrinsic magnetization ordered state permits these unusual rarely observed manifestations Onsager’s theorem when time reversal symmetry is broken at zero applied field. Here we study two classes ferromagnetic materials, rare-earth magnets high coercivity antiferromagnetic pyrochlores strongly-pinned domain walls, which both exhibit magnetoresistive behavior. By...
A magnetoresistance (MR) anomaly at low temperatures has been observed in a variety of systems, ranging from low-dimensional chalcogenides to spin and charge density wave (SDW/CDW) metals and, most recently, topological semimetals. In some systems parabolic can rise hundreds thousands times its low-temperature, zero-field value. While the origin such dramatic effect remains unresolved, these are often low-carrier-density compensated metals, physics is expected be quasi-classical. Here we...
We present a thorough experimental study of the three-dimensional hyperhoneycomb Kitaev magnet $\beta$-Li$_2$IrO$_3$, using combination inelastic neutron scattering (INS), time-domain THz spectroscopy, and heat capacity measurements. The main results include massive low-temperature reorganization INS spectral weight that evolves into broad peak centered around 12 meV, distinctive in data at 2.8(1) meV. A detailed comparison to powder-averaged spin-wave theory calculations reveals positions...
All-in--all-out (AIAO) antiferromagnets demonstrate vividly the effects of correlated charge and spin with strong spin-orbit coupling.

The results powerful approach to state driven by electron correlations $U$/$t$ orbit coupling $\ensuremath{\lambda}$/$t$. find prominent Ising-type fluctuations under pressure...
Abstract While Mott insulators induced by Coulomb interactions are a well-recognized class of metal-insulator transitions, purely driven spin correlations much less common, as the reduced energy scale often invites competition from other degrees freedom. Here, we demonstrate clean example spin-correlation-driven transition in all-in-all-out pyrochlore antiferromagnet Cd 2 Os O 7 , where lattice symmetry is preserved antiferromagnetism. After antisymmetric linear magnetoresistance conductive,...
Abstract Dimensionality and symmetry play deterministic roles in the laws of Nature. They are important tools to characterize understand quantum phase transitions, especially limit strong correlations between spin, orbit, charge, structural degrees freedom. Here, using newly-developed, high-pressure resonant X-ray magnetic charge diffraction techniques, we have discovered a critical point Cd 2 Os O 7 as all-in-all-out antiferromagnetic order is continuously suppressed zero temperature and,...

We discuss techniques for performing continuous measurements across a wide range of pressure-field-temperature phase space, combining the milli-Kelvin temperatures helium dilution refrigerator with giga-Pascal pressures diamond anvil cell and Tesla magnetic fields superconducting magnet. With view towards minimizing remnant background susceptibility, we characterize high-strength superalloy materials pressure assembly, which allows high fidelity low-field phenomena such as superconductivity...
The nature of a material's Fermi surface is crucial to understanding its electronic, magnetic, optical, and thermal characteristics. Traditional measurements such as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy de Haas--van Alphen quantum oscillations can be difficult perform in the vicinity pressure-driven phase transition, although evolution may tied emergence exotic phenomena. We demonstrate here that magnetic x-ray diffraction combination with Hall effect diamond anvil cell provide valuable...
Using angular spectral representation, we demonstrate a generalized approach for generating high-dimensional elliptic umbilic and hyperbolic caustics by phase holograms. The wavefronts of such beams are investigated via the diffraction catastrophe theory determined potential function, which depends on state control parameters. We find that degenerate into classical Airy when two parameters simultaneously equal to zero, possess an intriguing autofocusing property. Numerical results exhibit...
The excellent property that the intensity of autofocusing beams in focal plane increases exponentially, makes them especially beneficial for biomedical treatment. We experimentally generate tunable (2+1)-dimensional circular parabolic umbilic (CPUBs) first time based on high-dimensional diffraction catastrophe integral, which is determined by potential function. Such CPUBs have and symmetrical distributions space through radial symmetry transformation. Due to flexibility high dimensionality,...
Abstract The neutral and interlayer exciton originates from intralayer coupling, respectively. Unlike exciton, the excitons at room temperature are hard to observe manipulate due instability. In this work, we show photoluminescence of WS 2 MoS can be improved by oleic acid passivation, allowing trion peaks observed temperature. More importantly, a 3-fold increase in peak intensity is achieved, energy blue-shifted 107 meV. Our work paves way investigate two-dimensional transition metal...
