Impact of tiny Fermi pockets with extremely high mobility on the Hall anomaly in the kagome metal CsV$_3$Sb$_5$

The kagome metal CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ exhibits an unusual charge-density-wave (CDW) order, where the emergence of loop current order that breaks time-reversal symmetry (TRS) has been proposed. A key feature of this CDW phase is a non-monotonic Hall effect at low fields, often attributed to TRS breaking. However, its origin remains unclear. Here, we conduct comprehensive magnetotransport measurements on CsV$_3$Sb$_5$ and, through mobility spectrum analysis, identify the formation of tiny Fermi pockets with extremely high mobility below the CDW transition. Furthermore, electron irradiation experiments reveal that the non-monotonic Hall effect is significantly suppressed in samples with reduced mobility, despite no substantial change in the electronic structure. These results indicate that the non-monotonic Hall effect originates from these tiny Fermi pockets with high mobility carriers rather than anomalous Hall mechanisms, providing new insights into understanding the Hall anomaly in this kagome system.

Pressure-induced topological changes in Fermi surface of two-dimensional molecular conductor

We demonstrated X-ray structural analysis of the pressure-induced superconductor, $\beta'$-ET$_2$ICl$_2$ under extremely high-pressure conditions, where ET denotes bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene. This material has been known as the highest transition temperature ($T_c$) superconductor among organic superconductors ($T_c=14.2$ K at $8.2$ GPa). On the basis of the experimental results, ab-initio models were derived using the constrained random phase approximation. We revealed that the Lifshitz transition exists behind the Mott insulator-metal transition and found that the value of the on-site Coulomb interaction was halved to around $10$ GPa compared to that at ambient pressure. This study clarifies the enigmatic origins of high $T_{\rm c}$, and concurrently, provides a new understanding of the impacts of structural alterations in organic materials under high pressure on their electronic properties and the superconductivity process.

Helical magnetic state in the vicinity of the pressure-induced superconducting phase in MnP

MnP is a metal that shows successive magnetic transitions from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic and helical magnetic phases at ambient pressure with decreasing temperature. With applied pressure, the magnetic transition temperatures decrease and superconductivity appears around 8 GPa where the magnetic order is fully suppressed and the quantum critical behavior is observed. These results suggest that MnP is an unconventional superconductor in which magnetic fluctuations may be relevant to the superconducting pairing mechanism. In order to elucidate the magnetic ground state adjacent to the superconducting phase first discovered in Mn-based materials, high-pressure neutron diffraction measurements have been performed in hydrostatic pressure up to 7.5 GPa. The helical magnetic structure with the propagation vector along the $b$ axis, reported previously at 3.8 GPa, was found to be robust up to 7.5 GPa. First principles and classical Monte Carlo calculations have also been performed to understand how the pressure-driven magnetic phase transitions are coupled with change of the exchange interactions. The calculations, which qualitatively reproduce the magnetic structures as a function of pressure, suggest that the exchange interactions change drastically with applied pressure and the further-neighbor interactions become more influential at high pressures. Combining the experimental and theoretical results, we describe the detail of exchange interactions in the vicinity of the superconducting phase which is critical to understand the pairing mechanism of the unconventional superconductivity in MnP.

Compressed Sensing of Compton Profiles for Fermi Surface Reconstruction: Concept and Implementation

Compton scattering is a well-established technique that can provide detailed information about electronic states in solids. Making use of the principle of tomography, it is possible to determine the Fermi surface from sets of Compton-scattering data with different scattering axes. Practical applications, however, are limited due to long acquisition time required for measuring along enough number of scattering directions. Here, we propose to overcome this difficulty using compressed sensing. Taking advantage of a hidden sparsity in the momentum distribution, we are able to reconstruct the three-dimensional momentum distribution of bcc-Li, and identify the Fermi surface with as little as 14 directions of scattering data with unprecedented accuracy. This compressed-sensing approach will permit further wider applications of the Compton scattering experiments.

Multipolar ordering from dynamical mean field theory with application to CeB6

Magnetic and multipolar ordering in f electron systems takes place at low temperatures of order 1--10 Kelvin. Combinations of first-principles with many-body calculations for such low-energy properties of correlated materials are challenging problems. We address multipolar ordering in f electron systems based on the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) combined with density functional theory. We derive the momentum-dependent multipolar susceptibilities and interactions in two ways: by solving the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equation of the two-particle Green's function and by using a recently developed approximate strong-coupling formula. We apply the formalism to the prototypical example of multipolar ordering in CeB6 using the Hubbard-I solver, and demonstrate that the experimental quadrupole transition is correctly reproduced. The results by the approximate formula show good agreement with those by the BS equation. This first-principles formalism for multipolar ordering based on DMFT has applications which are beyond the reach of the traditional RKKY formula. In particular, more itinerant electron systems including 5f, 4d and 5d electrons can be addressed.

Preparation and Readout of Multielectron High-Spin States in a Gate-Defined GaAs/AlGaAs Quantum Dot

We report the preparation and readout of multielectron high-spin states, a three-electron quartet, and a four-electron quintet, in a gate-defined GaAs/AlGaAs single quantum dot using spin filtering by quantum Hall edge states coupled to the dot. The readout scheme consists of mapping from multielectron to two-electron spin states and a subsequent two-electron spin readout, thus obviating the need to resolve dense multielectron energy levels. Using this technique, we measure the relaxations of the high-spin states and find them to be an order of magnitude faster than those of low-spin states. Numerical calculations of spin relaxation rates using the exact diagonalization method agree with the experiment. The technique developed here offers a new tool for the study and application of high-spin states in quantum dots.

Dimer-Mott and charge-ordered insulating states in the quasi-one-dimensional organic conductors $δ'_{P}$- and $δ'_{C}$-(BPDT-TTF)$_2$ICl$_2$

We investigated the electronic states of the quasi-one-dimensional organic conductors $δ'_{P}$-(BPDT-TTF)$_2$ICl$_2$ and $δ'_{C}$-(BPDT-TTF)$_2$ICl$_2$, both of which are insulating at room temperature owing to strong electron correlations. Through measurements of electrical resistivity, optical conductivity, and magnetic susceptibility, as well as band-structure calculations, we have revealed that the two materials possess completely different ground states, even though they have the same chemical composition and stacking configuration of the donor molecules. We have found that the $δ_P'$-type salt with an effective half-filled band behaves as a dimer-Mott (DM) insulator and exhibits a nonmagnetic transition at 25 K, whereas the $δ'_C$-type salt with a 3/4-filled band shows a charge ordering (CO) transition just above room temperature and becomes nonmagnetic below 20 K. The optical spectra of the $δ_P'$-type salt are composed of two characteristic bands due to intra- and interdimer charge transfers, supporting the DM insulating behavior arising from the strong on-site Coulomb interaction. By contrast, in the $δ'_C$-type salt, a single band characterizing the formation of CO arising from the off-site Coulomb interactions is observed. Upon lowering the temperature, the shape of the optical spectra in the $δ_C'$-type salt becomes asymmetric and shifts to much lower frequencies, suggesting the emergence of domain-wall excitations with fractional charges expected in a one-dimensional CO chain. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of the $δ_P'$-type salt is well described by a 2D spin-1/2 Heisenberg AFM model on an anisotropic square lattice in the dimerized picture, while in the $δ_C'$-type salt, it can be explained by a 2D spin-1/2 Heisenberg AFM model on an anisotropic honeycomb lattice formed in the CO state.

Coulomb Frustrated Phase Separation in Quasi-Two-Dimensional Organic Conductors on the Verge of Charge Ordering

On the basis of an analysis of a 3/4-filled two-dimensional (2D) extended Hubbard model under the fluctuation-exchange approximation, we find Coulomb frustrated phase separation (PS) in a region of nonzero temperature, where the quantum critical phenomenon of charge ordering (CO) dominates. In quasi-2D organic conductors on the verge of CO, this frustrated PS provides a mechanism for generating spatial inhomogeneity, which is characterized by an extremely slow relaxation and an intermediate length scale.

Superconductivity in the vicinity of charge ordered state in organic conductor beta-(meso-DMBEDT-TTF)_2PF_6

We study theoretically competition between the charge ordering and the superconductivity in two-dimensional organic conductor beta-(meso-DMBEDT-TTF)_2PF_6. We analyze the extended Hubbard model on a weakly-dimerized lattice based on the random phase approximation and Eliashberg equations. We found reentrant behavior of the checkerbord-type charge-ordered phase in the phase diagram, and the triplet superconductivity due to the charge fluctuation in the neighboring region. In the low temperature and high pressure region, the singlet superconductivity also appears due to the enhancement of the spin fluctuation.
