摘要:
电子-空穴对的玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚,即激子凝聚,自60年前被预测以来一直被努力研究。由于在验证电荷中性且非磁性自旋单态激子凝聚方面存在实验困难,至今仍缺乏确凿证据。同时,自旋三重态激子的凝聚是一个极具前景的前沿领域,因为自旋超流和自旋塞贝克效应将变得可观测。典型钴酸盐LaCoO$_{3}$在极高磁场下是一个有希望的候选者,但尚待验证。在此,我们利用电磁通量压缩法和最先进的磁致伸缩计,揭示了LaCoO$_{3}$高达600 T的奇异相图。我们发现了连续的磁致伸缩曲线和弯曲结构,这表明两种不同的自旋三重态激子凝聚体的出现。通过构建唯象模型,我们证明了激子的量子涨落对于场致连续相变至关重要。钴酸盐中三维且热平衡的自旋三重态激子凝聚,为具有自旋超流的自旋电子学技术(如自旋约瑟夫森结)开辟了新途径。
英文摘要:
Bose-Einstein condensation of electron-hole pairs, exciton condensation, has been effortfully investigated since predicted 60 years ago. Irrefutable evidence has still been lacking due to experimental difficulties in verifying the condensation of the charge neutral and non-magnetic spin-singlet excitons. Whilst, condensation of spin-triplet excitons is a promising frontier because spin supercurrent and spin-Seebeck effects will be observable. A canonical cobaltite LaCoO$_{3}$ under very high magnetic fields is a propitious candidate, yet to be verified. Here, we unveil the exotic phase diagram of LaCoO$_{3}$ up to 600 T generated using the electromagnetic flux compression method and the state-of-the-art magnetostriction gauge. We found the continuous magnetostriction curves and a bending structure, which suggest the emergence of two distinct spin-triplet exciton condensates. By constructing a phenomenological model, we showed that quantum fluctuations of excitons are crucial for the field-induced successive transitions. The spin-triplet exciton condensation in a cobaltite, which is three-dimensional and thermally equilibrated, opens up a novel venue for spintronics technologies with spin-supercurrent such as a spin Josephson junction.
