Non-monotonic pressure dependence of high-field nematicity and magnetism in CeRhIn5

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Kent Robert Shirer

CeRhIn5 provides a textbook example of quantum criticality in a heavy fermion system: Pressure suppresses local-moment antiferromagnetic (AFM) order and induces superconductivity in a dome around the associated quantum critical point (QCP) near p(c) approx ...

Out-of-plane transport in ZrSiS and ZrSiSe microstructures

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Maja Deborah Bachmann, Kent Robert Shirer

A recent class of topological nodal-line semimetals with the general formula MSiX (M = Zr, Hf and X = S, Se, Te) has attracted much experimental and theoretical interest due to their properties, particularly their large magnetoresistances and high carrier ...

Spatial control of heavy-fermion superconductivity in CeIrIn5

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Maja Deborah Bachmann, Kent Robert Shirer

Although crystals of strongly correlated metals exhibit a diverse set of electronic ground states, few approaches exist for spatially modulating their properties. In this study, we demonstrate disorder-free control, on the micrometer scale, over the superc ...

Resonant torsion magnetometry in anisotropic quantum materials

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Maja Deborah Bachmann, Kent Robert Shirer, Amelia Emily-Kay Estry

Unusual behavior in quantum materials commonly arises from their effective low-dimensional physics, reflecting the underlying anisotropy in the spin and charge degrees of freedom. Here we introduce the magnetotropic coefficient k = partial derivative F-2/p ...
