YbAl 3 is an intermediate valent compound with a Kondo temperature T K in excess of 500 K and a rather low conduction electron density of ~0.5/atom. Recent measurements are suggestive of a second energy scale T coh of order 50 K that dominates the low temperature ( T ≪ T coh ) thermodynamic properties. Previous de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) measurements on YbAl 3 in magnetic fields to 17 T reveal a fairly simple Fermi surface with 6 branches having effective masses m* ranging from 8 to 24 m0 (see Refs. [2-3]). We report magnetization and dHvA results on YbAl 3 in pulsed magnetic fields up to 60 T. For T ≪ T coh we indeed find that the magnetization 'crosses' over from the zero field energy scale T coh to the high temperature energy scale T K at a magnetic field B * ≈ 40 T (≈ K B T coh /μB). For B > B *, we find dHvA oscillations when magnetic field is applied along the <100>, <110> and <111> directions. For magnetic field applied along <111>, the Fermi surface changes very little for B > B*, and the effective masses are all reduced by a factor of 2-3 relative to their low field values. This is due to the large change in the characteristic temperature, which goes from T coh below B * to T K above B *. We believe this is the first work to directly observe the two energy scales and to observe the crossover in the dominant energy scale as a function of magnetic field.

The properties of the Kondo insulator in a strong magnetic field are one of the most intriguing subjects in condensed matter physics. The Kondo insulating state is expected to be suppressed by magnetic fields, which results in the dramatic change in the electronic state. We have studied the magnetization process of one of the prototypical Kondo insulators YbB 12 at several temperatures in magnetic fields of up to 80 T. The metamagnetism due to the insulator-metal (IM) transition seen around 50 T was found to become significantly broadened at approximately 30 K. This characteristic temperature T * ≈ 30 K in YbB 12 is an order of magnitude lower than the Kondo temperature T K = 240 K. Our results suggest that there is an energy scale smaller than the Kondo temperature that is important to understanding the nature of Kondo insulators.

Absorption Measurements

ABSTRACTMicrowave absorption measurements from 20 to 80 K in magnetic fields up to 12 kG are reported. Below a certain characteristic temperature T* = 80 ± 2 K < Tc the absorption in magnetic-field-cooled samples is smaller and broader in comparison to the zero-field-cooled samples. The incident microwave radiation induces a dc voltage across the sample which is also magnetic field dependent and peaks at zero magnetic field.

Independent Replication

The scientific literature describing the effects of weak magnetic fields on living systems contains a plethora of contradictory reports, few successful independent replication studies and a dearth of plausible biophysical interaction mechanisms. Most such investigations have been unsystematic, devoid of testable theoretical predictions and, ultimately, unconvincing. A recent study, of magnetic responses in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana , however, stands out; it has a clear hypothesis—that seedling growth is magnetically sensitive as a result of photoinduced radical-pair reactions in cryptochrome photoreceptors—tested by measuring several cryptochrome-dependent responses, all of which proved to be enhanced in a magnetic field of intensity 500 μT. The potential importance of this study in the debate on putative effects of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields on human health prompted us to subject it to the ‘gold standard’ of independent replication. With experimental conditions chosen to match those of the original study, we have measured hypocotyl lengths and anthocyanin accumulation for Arabidopsis seedlings grown in a 500 μT magnetic field, with simultaneous control experiments at 50 μT. Additionally, we have determined hypocotyl lengths of plants grown in 50 μT, 1 mT and approximately 100 mT magnetic fields (with zero-field controls), measured gene ( CHS , HY5 and GST ) expression levels, investigated blue-light intensity effects and explored the influence of sucrose in the growth medium. In no case were consistent, statistically significant magnetic field responses detected.

Magnetic Oscillations

A generalized semiclassical quantization condition for cyclotron orbits was recently proposed by Gao and Niu , that goes beyond the Onsager relation . In addition to the integrated density of states, it formally involves magnetic response functions of all orders in the magnetic field. In particular, up to second order, it requires the knowledge of the spontaneous magnetization and the magnetic susceptibility, as was early anticipated by Roth . We study three applications of this relation focusing on two-dimensional electrons. First, we obtain magnetic response functions from Landau levels. Second we obtain Landau levels from response functions. Third we study magnetic oscillations in metals and propose a proper way to analyze Landau plots (i.e. the oscillation index nn as a function of the inverse magnetic field 1/B1/B) in order to extract quantities such as a zero-field phase-shift. Whereas the frequency of 1/B1/B-oscillations depends on the zero-field energy spectrum, the zero-field phase-shift depends on the geometry of the cell-periodic Bloch states via two contributions: the Berry phase and the average orbital magnetic moment on the Fermi surface. We also quantify deviations from linearity in Landau plots (i.e. aperiodic magnetic oscillations), as recently measured in surface states of three-dimensional topological insulators and emphasized by Wright and McKenzie .

Solar Magnetic Fields

For many years solar magnetic fields have been measured by a variety of techniques, all of which exploit the Zeeman splitting of lines in the solar spectrum. One of these techniques (Leighton, 1959) involves a photographic subtraction of two monochromatic images to produce a picture of the Sun in which the line-of-sight component of the solar magnetic field appears as various shades of gray. In a magnetogram made by this method, zero field strength appears as neutral gray, while magnetic fields of one polarity or the other appear as lighter or darker areas, respectively. Figure 1 shows such a magnetogram.

Tilted Magnetic Field

Abstract Surface quantum states in quasi-two dimensional organic conductors induced by an external magnetic field tilted in the plane of the layers are obtained and analyzed. In tilted magnetic fields, these states arise from the transitions of the electrons between the closed orbits on the sides of the Fermi surface determined by the electron momentum along the magnetic field direction p B and the coordinate of the center of electron revolution Z. By far, in organic conductors, the surface states have not been studied for tilted magnetic fields. In this work, we have performed detail analyses of the surface states in a tilted in-plane magnetic field by calculating the surface energy spectrum and surface wave functions in order to address their properties and features. We find that, in a tilted magnetic field, the surface levels have higher energies compared to those at zero tilt angle but can be observed only up to a certain tilt angle. The resonant magnetic field and angular values at which the peaks in the surface oscillations should be observed are obtained. Further theoretical and new experimental studies of the surface states in a tilted magnetic field might give new insights into the surface properties of quasi-two dimensional organic conductors. Additionally, they may reveal new information about the parameters of the Fermi surface of organic conductors necessary for its reconstruction.

The Zeeman band profiles are calculated for near-case (b) triplet–singlet transitions in asymmetric rotors, making allowance for the intensity perturbations induced by an external magnetic field. It is shown that new bands correlating with zero-field forbidden lines can be observed under the effect of sufficiently high fields. Band profiles and the patterns of the magnetic sublevels of the triplet state split by the external field are discussed in detail for the Paschen–Back limit.

Recent Nernst and interlayer transport experiments in Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+y (BSCCO) high temperature superconductors report hugely different limiting magnetic fields. We demonstrate that both fields convert to the same pseudogap energy scale T* upon transformation as orbital and Zeeman critical fields, respectively. We suggest a consistent interpretation of this finding based on separation of spin and charge degrees of freedom residing in different regions of a truncated Fermi surface.

AbstractWe report on observation of strong non-local photoconducitivity induced by terahertz laser pulses in non-zero magnetic field in heterostructures based on Hg1−xCdxTe films being in the topological phase. While the zero-field non-local photoconductivity is negligible, it is strongly enhanced in magnetic fields ~ 0.05 T resulting in appearance of an edge photocurrent that exceeds the respective dark signal by orders of magnitude. This photocurrent is chiral, and the chirality changes every time the magnetic field or the electric bias is reversed. Appearance of the non-local terahertz photoconductivity is attributed to features of the interface between the topological film and the trivial buffer.
