Realization of a parity-violating antiferromagnetic state in LaMnSi

Spontaneous symmetry breaking underlies functional electronic phenomena in quantum materials. Breaking space-inversion ($\mathcal{P}$) or time-reversal ($\mathcal{T}$) symmetry can generate spin-split electronic bands central to modern spintronics. By contrast, parity-violating antiferromagnetic (AFM) order breaks both $\mathcal{P}$ and $\mathcal{T}$ while preserving the combined $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry, enabling spin-degenerate yet momentum-asymmetric electronic bands. This momentum asymmetry has been proposed as a microscopic origin of unconventional nonreciprocal and nonlinear responses but its experimental verification has remained challenging because it requires establishing both the symmetry-breaking magnetic order and the associated electronic structure. Here we combine soft x-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and polarization-resolved optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy to study LaMnSi, a candidate parity-violating AFM metal. Soft x-ray ARPES resolves the three-dimensional bulk band structures in agreement with density functional theory calculations for the AFM phase, whereas SHG microscopy detects sign-reversing nonlinear optical responses from opposite AFM domains that carry $\mathcal{T}$-odd parity-violating order. Together, these results provide direct evidence for parity-violating AFM state in LaMnSi, establish LaMnSi as a parity-violating AFM metal, and identify this class of AFMs as a promising platform for symmetry-controlled nonreciprocal and nonlinear electronic responses.

Zone-selection effect of photoelectron intensity distributions in a nonsymmorphic system RAlSi (R : Ce and Nd)

We investigate the electronic structures of noncentrosymmetric Weyl semimetals RAlSi (R: Ce and Nd) using soft x-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We find that the photoelectron intensity distribution observed in the momentum-resolved electronic bands is highly sensitive to the covered Brillouin zone (BZ) due to the zone-selection effect arising from the nonsymmorphic crystal structure of RAlSi. Our data reconstruct the photoelectron distributions varied according to the zone-selection effect, and reveal comprehensive information about the electronic band structures reproduced by band calculations. This detailed information enables us to experimentally trace the Weyl-cone dispersion throughout three-dimensional momentum space, providing valuable insights into the unique properties of RAlSi.

Effect of Nd and Rh substitution on the spin dynamics of Kondo insulator CeFe2Al10

The dynamic magnetic properties of the Kondo-insulator state in CeFe2Al10 (spin gap, resonance mode) have been investigated using polarized neutrons on a single crystal of pure CeFe2Al10. The results indicate that the magnetic excitations are polarized mainly along the orthorhombic a axis and their dispersion along the orthorhombic c direction could be determined. Polycrystalline samples of Nd- and Rh-doped CeFe2Al0 were also studied by the time-of-flight technique, with the aim of finding out how the low-energy magnetic excitation spectra change upon isoelectronic substitution of the rare-earth (Nd) on the magnetic Ce site or electron doping (Rh) on the transition-element Fe sublattice. The introduction of magnetic Nd impurities strongly modifies the spin gap in the Ce dynamic magnetic response and causes the appearance of a quasielastic signal. The crystal-field excitations of Nd, studied in both LaFe2Al10 and CeFe2Al10, also reveal a significant influence of f-electron hybridization (largest in the case of Ce) on the crystal-field potential. As a function of the Rh concentration, a gradual change is observed from a Kondo-insulator to a metallic Kondo-lattice response, likely reflecting the decrease in the hybridization energy.

Kondo effect in CeX$_{c}$ (X$_{c}$=S, Se, Te) studied by electrical resistivity under high pressure

We have measured the electrical resistivity of cerium monochalcogenices, CeS, CeSe, and CeTe, under high pressures up to 8 GPa. Pressure dependences of the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature $T_{N}$, crystal field splitting, and the $\ln T$ anomaly of the Kondo effect have been studied to cover the whole region from the magnetic ordering regime at low pressure to the Fermi liquid regime at high pressure. $T_{N}$ initially increases with increasing pressure, and starts to decrease at high pressure as expected from the Doniach's diagram. Simultaneously, the $\ln T$ behavior in the resistivity is enhanced, indicating the enhancement of the Kondo effect by pressure. It is also characteristic in CeX$_{c}$ that the crystal field splitting rapidly decreases at a common rate of $-12.2$ K/GPa. This leads to the increase in the degeneracy of the $f$ state and further enhancement of the Kondo effect. It is shown that the pressure dependent degeneracy of the $f$ state is a key factor to understand the pressure dependence of $T_{N}$, Kondo effect, magnetoresistance, and the peak structure in the temperature dependence of resistivity.

Incommensurate-Commensurate Magnetic Phase Transition in SmRu$_{2}$Al$_{10}$

Magnetic properties of single crystalline SmRu$_{2}$Al$_{10}$ have been investigated by electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat. We have confirmed the successive magnetic phase transitions at $T_{\text{N}}=12.3$ K and $T_{\text{M}}=5.6$ K. Resonant x-ray diffraction has also been performed to study the magnetic structures. Below $T_{\text{N}}$, the Sm$^{3+}$ moments order in an incommensurate structure with $q_1=(0, 0.759, 0)$. The magnetic moments are oriented along the orthorhombic $b$ axis, which coincides with the magnetization easy axis in the paramagnetic phase. A very weak third harmonic peak is also observed at $q_3=(0, 0.278, 0)$. The transition at $T_{\text{M}}$ is a lock-in transition to the commensurate structure described by $q_1=(0, 0.75, 0)$. A well developed third harmonic peak is observed at $q_3=(0, 0.25, 0)$. From the discussion of the magnetic structure, we propose that the long-range RKKY interaction plays an important role, in addition to the strong nearest neighbor antiferromagnetic interaction.

Detailed neutron diffraction study of magnetic order in NdFe$_2$Al$_{10}$

The orthorhombic compound NdFe$_2$Al$_{10}$ has been studied by powder and single-crystal neutron diffraction. Below $T_N$ = 3.9 K, the Nd$^{3+}$ magnetic moments order in a double-$k$ [$\mathbf{k}_1 = (0, \frac{3}{4}, 0)$, $\mathbf{k}_2 = (0, \frac{1}{4}, 0)$] collinear magnetic structure, whose unit cell consists of four orthorhombic units in the $b$ direction.The refinements show that this structure consists of (0 1 0) ferromagnetic planes stacked along $b$, in which the moments are oriented parallel to $a$ (the easy anisotropy axis according to bulk magnetization measurements) and nearly equal in magnitude ($\approx 1.7-1.9\ μ_B$). The alternating 8-plane sequence providing the best agreement to the data turns out to be that which yields the lowest exchange energy if one assumes antiferromagnetic near-neighbor exchange interactions with $J_1 \gg J_2, J_3$. With increasing temperature, the single-crystal measurements indicate the suppression of the $\mathbf{k}_2$ component at $T = 2.7$ K, supporting the idea that the anomalies previously observed around 2--2.5 K result from a squaring transition. In a magnetic field applied along the $a$ axis, the magnetic Bragg satellites disappear at $H_c = 2.45$ T, in agreement with earlier measurements. Comparisons are made with related magnetic orders occurring in Ce$T_2$Al$_{10}$ ($T$: Ru, Os) and TbFe$_2$Al$_{10}$.

Stable Existence of Phase IV inside Phase II under Pressure in Ce$_{0.8}$La$_{0.2}$B$_{6}$

We investigate the pressure effect of the electrical resistivity and magnetization of Ce$_{0.8}$La$_{0.2}$B$_{6}$. The situation in which phase IV stably exists inside phase II at H=0 T could be realized by applying a pressure above $P\sim 1.1$ GPa. This originates from the fact that the stability of phase II under pressure is larger than those of phases IV and III. The results seem to be difficult to reproduce by taking the four interactions of $Γ_{\mathrm{5u}}$-type AFO, $O_{xy}$-type AFQ, $T_{xyz}$-type AFO, and AF exchange into account within a mean-field calculation framework.

The CFT-interpolating Black Hole in Three Dimensions

We present a new exact black hole solution in three dimensional Einstein gravity coupled to a single scalar field. This is one of the extended solutions of the BTZ black hole and has in fact $\textrm{AdS}_3$ geometries both at the spatial infinity and at the event horizon. An explicit derivation of Virasoro algebras for $\textrm{CFT}_2$ at the two boundaries is shown to be possible à la Brown and Henneaux's calculation. If we regard the scalar field as a running coupling in the dual two dimensional field theory, and its flow in the bulk as the "holographic" renormalization group flow, our black hole should interpolate the two $\textrm{CFT}_2$ living at the infinity and at the horizon. Following the Hamilton-Jacobi analysis by de Boer, Verlinde and Verlinde, we calculate the central charges $c_{\textrm{UV}}$ and $c_{\textrm{IR}}$ for the $\textrm{CFT}_2$ on the infinity and the horizon, respectively. We also confirm that the inequality $c_{\textrm{IR}} < c_{\textrm{UV}}$ is satisfied, which is consistent with the Zamolodchikov's c-theorem.
