Field-controlled multicritical behavior and emergent universality in fully frustrated quantum magnets

Phase transitions in condensed matter are a source of exotic emergent properties. We study the fully frustrated bilayer Heisenberg antiferromagnet to demonstrate that an applied magnetic field creates a previously unknown emergent criticality. The quantum ...

Magnetic structure and magnetoelectric properties of the spin-flop phase in LiFePO4

Paola Caterina Forino, Ellen Fogh, Sofie Janas

We investigate the magnetic structure and magnetoelectric(ME) effect in the high -field phase of the antiferromagnet LiFePO 4 above the critical field of 31 T. A neutron diffraction study in pulsed magnetic fields reveals the propagation vector to be q = 0 ...

Primary and secondary order parameters in the fully frustrated transverse-field Ising model on the square lattice

Frédéric Mila

Using quantum Monte Carlo simulations and field-theory arguments, we study the fully frustrated transversefield Ising model on the square lattice for the purpose of quantitatively relating two different order parameters to each other. We consider a "primar ...

Stable cones in the thin one-phase problem

Xavier Fernandez-Real Girona

The aim of this work is to study homogeneous stable solutions to the thin (or fractional) one -phase free boundary problem. The problem of classifying stable (or minimal) homogeneous solutions in dimensions n >= 3 is completely open. In this context, axial ...

Instabilities in Elastic and Magneto-Elastic Beams and Shells: from Shell Buckling to the Design of a Programmable Braille Reader

Arefeh Abbasi

In this thesis, we conduct a comprehensive investigation into structural instabilities of both elastic and magneto-elastic beams and shells, resulting in a creative proposal to design a programmable braille reader. Methodologically, we combine numerical si ...

Spin dynamics and possible topological magnons in the nonstoichiometric pyrochlore iridate Tb2Ir2 O7 studied by RIXS

Jian Rui Soh

We report on a resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study on a single crystal of a nonstoichiometric pyrochlore iridate Tb2+xIr2-xO7-y (x≃0.25) that magnetically orders at TN≃50 K. We observe a propagating gapped magnon mode at low energy and model it using ...

Large impact of phonon lineshapes on the superconductivity of solid hydrogen

Lorenzo Monacelli

Phonon anharmonicity plays a crucial role in determining the stability and vibrational properties of high-pressure hydrides. Furthermore, strong anharmonicity can render phonon quasiparticle picture obsolete questioning standard approaches for modeling sup ...

Eight-vertex criticality in the interacting Kitaev chain

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

We show that including pairing and repulsion into the description of one-dimensional spinless fermions, as in the domain wall theory of commensurate melting or the interacting Kitaev chain, leads, for strong enough repulsion, to a line of critical points i ...

Direct observation of exchange anisotropy in the helimagnetic insulator Cu2OSeO3

Arnaud Magrez, Jonathan White, Priya Ranjan Baral

The helical magnetic structures of cubic chiral systems are well explained by the competition among Heisen-berg exchange, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, cubic anisotropy, and anisotropic exchange interaction (AEI). Recently, the role of the latter has ...
