We theoretically showed that electric quadrupoles in some heavy fermion materials exhibit a very rich phase diagram including unique partially-ordered phases stabilized by an interaction specific to these systems.

AbstractIce exhibits extraordinary structural variety in its polymorphic structures. The existence of a new form of diversity in ice polymorphism has recently been debated in both experimental and theoretical studies, questioning whether hydrogen-disordered ice can transform into multiple hydrogen-ordered phases, contrary to the known one-to-one correspondence between disordered ice and its ordered phase. Here, we report a high-pressure phase, ice XIX, which is a second hydrogen-partially-ordered phase of ice VI. We demonstrate that disordered ice undergoes different manners of hydrogen ordering, which are thermodynamically controlled by pressure in the case of ice VI. Such multiplicity can appear in all disordered ice, and it widely provides a research approach to deepen our knowledge, for example of the crucial issues of ice: the centrosymmetry of hydrogen-ordered configurations and potentially induced (anti-)ferroelectricity. Ultimately, this research opens up the possibility of completing the phase diagram of ice.

AbstractUniform quasi-one-dimensional integer spin compounds are of interest as a potential realization of the Haldane conjecture of a gapped spin liquid. This phase, however, has to compete with magnetic anisotropy and long-range ordered phases, the implementation of which depends on the ratio of interchain J′ and intrachain J exchange interactions and both uniaxial D and rhombic E single-ion anisotropies. Strontium nickel selenite chloride, Sr2Ni(SeO3)2Cl2, is a spin-1 chain system which passes through a correlations regime at Tmax ~ 12 K to long-range order at TN = 6 K. Under external magnetic field it experiences the sequence of spin-flop at Bc1 = 9.0 T and spin-flip transitions Bc2 = 23.7 T prior to full saturation at Bsat = 31.0 T. Density functional theory provides values of the main exchange interactions and uniaxial anisotropy which corroborate the experimental findings. The values of J′/J = 0.083 and D/J = 0.357 place this compound into a hitherto unoccupied sector of the Sakai-Takahashi phase diagram.

Mullite (3Al2O3•2SiO2) exists in a solid solution field (∼57-63 mol% Al2O3) as the only stable compound in the Al2O3•SiO2 phase diagram at ambient pressures. Equilibrium 3:2 mullite has an orthorhombic structure with b>a (o-mullite). However, when initially crystallized from molecularly mixed, 3:2 precursors at temperatures < 1200°C, the first phase that forms has lattice parameters with a ≈b. This structure is often termed pseudotetragonal mullite (pt-mullite), since even when the ‘a’ and ‘b’ lattice parameters are identical, they are symmetrically independent. Pseudotetragonal mullite has been shown to contain approx. 70 mol% Al2O3. with increasing time and temperature, the structure gradually assimilates the residual SiO2, and the lattice parameters change, such that by 1400°C, the material has attained its equilibrium structure and composition.TEM was used to determine the spatial relationship between the crystalline phase and the residual, amorphous, SiO2-rich phase in pt-mullite. The starting materials were quenched, 3:2 mullite beads and fibers (made by containerless processing).

The Nambu–Bogoliubov–de Gennes method is applied to the problem of superconducting QCD. The effective quark–quark interaction is described within the framework of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. The details of the phase diagram are given as a function of the strength of the quark–quark coupling constant G′. It is found that there is no superconducting phase transition when one uses the relation between the coupling constants G′ and G of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model which follows from the Fierz transformation. However, for other values of G′ one can find a rich phase structure containing both the chiral and the superconducting phase transitions.

Heavy-fermion compounds are ideally suited to study cooperative phenomena in highly correlated electron systems. We discuss local-moment magnetism and heavy-fermion band magnetism in the exemplary systems CeCu 2 Ge 2 and Ni-rich Ce(Cu 1− x Ni x )2 Ge 2, respectively. In addition, the coexistence of long-range antiferromagnetic order and heavy-fermion superconductivity in UM 2 Al 3 (M: Ni, Pd) will be addressed.

We deal with a 2D half occupied square lattice with repulsive interactions between first and second neighboring particles. Despite the intensive studies of the present model the central point of the phase diagram for which the ratio of the two interaction strengths is still open. In the present paper we show, using standard Monte Carlo calculations, that the situation corresponds to a phase of mixed ordered structures quantified by an “algebraic” order parameter defined as the sum of densities of the existing ordered clusters. The introduced grandeur also characterizes the transitions towards the known pure ordered phases for the other values of as mentioned by the agreement of our results with those of the literature. The computation of the Cowley short range order parameter against suggests that the central point is bicritical and is a state to cross when passing between the two pure phases.
