稀土烧绿石铱氧化物拥有由共角四面体构成的两个相互交错的磁性亚晶格,并能容纳受挫磁矩、奇异激发和强关联电子的独特组合。它们也是首批被预测同时展现拓扑外尔半金属和轴子绝缘体相的系统。我们测量了单晶Sm$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$在压力达到并超过此前通过共振X射线散射确定的、全进全出(AIAO)Ir有序的量子临界点($p_{\ m c}$ = 63 kbar)时的输运和磁输运性质,而该临界点附近此前已被预测会出现外尔半金属行为。我们的发现推翻了公认的预期,即AIAO有序的抑制应导致金属导电持续到零温。相反,电阻率最低温度(在压力高达30 kbar时追踪AIAO有序温度的下降)在进一步加压时开始升高,表明存在第二个尚未确定的机制导致非金属行为。然而,磁输运确实追踪了Ir磁性的抑制,仅在AIAO相边界内观察到强磁滞,这与Ho$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$中发现的类似,并归因于Ir畴的塑性变形。在$p_{\ m c}$附近,我们发现了一种新型电子相的出现,其特征是在最低温度下具有小磁滞的负磁阻,以及在约5 K以上无磁滞的正磁阻。我们发现,在整个压力范围内,低温输运数据的温度依赖性最好由一个与外尔半金属一致的模型来描述。
英文摘要:
Rare-earth pyrochlore iridates host two interlocking magnetic sublattices of corner-sharing tetrahedra and can harbour a unique combination of frustrated moments, exotic excitations and highly correlated electrons. They are also the first systems predicted to display both topological Weyl semimetal and axion insulator phases. We have measured the transport and magnetotransport properties of single-crystal Sm$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$ up to and beyond the pressure-induced quantum critical point for all-in-all-out (AIAO) Ir order at $p_{\rm c}$ = 63 kbar previously identified by resonant X-ray scattering and close to which Weyl semimetallic behavior has been previously predicted. Our findings overturn the accepted expectation that the suppression of AIAO order should lead to metallic conduction persisting down to zero temperature. Instead, the resistivity-minimum temperature, which tracks the decrease in the AIAO ordering temperature for pressures up to 30~kbar, begins to increase under further application of pressure, pointing to the presence of a second as-yet unidentified mechanism leading to non-metallic behavior. The magnetotransport does track the suppression of Ir magnetism, however, with a strong hysteresis observed only within the AIAO phase boundary, similar to that found for Ho$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$ and attributed to plastic deformation of Ir domains. Around $p_{\rm c}$ we find the emergence of a new type of electronic phase, characterized by a negative magnetoresistance with small hysteresis at the lowest temperatures, and hysteresis-free positive magnetoresistance above approximately 5 K. The temperature dependence of our low-temperature transport data are found to be best described by a model consistent with a Weyl semimetal across the entire pressure range.

Hysteretic Magnetotransport in SmB6 at Low Magnetic Fields
利用Corbino圆盘结构,我们研究了低温下SmB 6在不同晶面上表面态的电阻率的磁场响应。我们的研究结果揭示了滞后行为,其大小取决于磁场扫描速率和温度。虽然这个功能变得更小时,场扫描速度较慢,一个完全消除或饱和,没有观察到在我们最慢的扫描速率测量,这是一个典型的磁输运轨迹慢得多。这些观测结果不能用量子干涉修正(如弱反定域)来解释。相反,它们是一致的玻璃表面磁有序的行为,其磁起源是最有可能从氧化钐(Sm 2 O 3)在暴露于环境条件下的表面上形成的。
Magnetotransport properties of BaRuO$_3$: Observation of two scattering rates

Effects of excess Fe on upper critical field and magnetotransport in Fe1+y(Te1-xSx)z
研究了Fe_(1.14)(1)Te_(0.91)(2)S_(0.09)(2))单晶在高达35 T的稳定磁场中的上临界场各向异性和磁输运性质。结果表明,在低温下,u 0 Hc 2(T)沿c轴方向和ab面方向均表现出饱和状态. u 0 Hc 2(T)的各向异性随着温度的降低而减小,当T->0.我们的分析表明,自旋-顺磁对破缺和自旋-轨道散射是u 0 Hc 2(T)的行为的原因。此外,从正常态的性质分析,我们表明,过量的Fe作为近藤型杂质是一个关键因素,决定正常和超导态的物理性质。
Magnetic-field induced resistivity minimum with in-plane linear magnetoresistance of the Fermi liquid in SrTiO3-x single crystals
本文报道了SrTiO_(3-x)单晶中低温费米液体的新型磁输运性质。经典的限制占主导地位的磁输运性质的磁场垂直于样品表面,因此出现一个磁场感生电阻率最小值。而在垂直于电流方向的平面磁场下,从小磁场(<0.5T)开始,出现线性磁阻效应。横向磁共振的大的各向异性揭示了由于SrTiO 3-x单晶从表面到内部的大的氧空位浓度梯度引起的强的表面层间散射。此外,我们的线性磁电阻很可能是由于氧空位和氧空位团簇的不均匀性引起的,这为Abrikosov [A. A. Abrikosov,Phys.Rev.B58,2788(1998)]。
