A novel magnetic phase prior to a saturation moment in frustrated spinel oxides in ultra-high magnetic fields

We have investigated the magnetic-field induced phases of a typical three-dimensional frustrated magnet, CdCr$_2$O$_4$, in magnetic fields of up to 120 T that is generated by the single-turn coil techniques. We focused on magnetic phase transitions in proximity of a saturated magnetization moment. We utilized both the electromagnetic induction method using magnetic pick-up coils and magneto-optical spectroscopies of the $d$-$d$ transitions and the exciton-magnon-phonon transitions to study the magnetic properties subjected to ultra-high magnetic fields. Anomalies were observed in magneto-optical absorption intensity as well as differential magnetization prior to a fully polarized magnetic phase (a vacuum state in the magnon picture), revealing a novel magnetic phase associated with changes in both crystal and magnetic structures accompanied by the first order phase transition. Magnetic superfluid state such as an umbrella-like magnetic structure or a spin nematic state, is proposed as a candidate for the novel magnetic phase, which is found universal in the series of chromium spinel oxides, $A$Cr$_2$O$_4$ ($A$ = Zn, Cd, Hg).

Magnetic phases of a highly frustrated magnet, ZnCr2O4, up to an ultra-high magnetic field of 600 T

The Faraday rotation and magneto-optical absorption spectral measurements were conducted to reveal the full-magnetization process and map out a magnetic phase diagram of a typical geometrical frustrated magnet, ZnCr2O4, by using the electromagnetic flux compression method in ultra-magnetic fields up to 600 T. A fully polarized ferromagnetic phase is observed in which the absorption spectra associated with an exciton-magnon-phonon transition disappears. Furthermore, prior to the fully polarized ferromagnetic phase above 410 T, we found a novel magnetic phase above 350 T followed by a canted 3:1 phase.

Aharonov-Bohm Exciton Absorption Splitting in Chiral Specific Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes in Magnetic Fields of up to 78 T

The Ajiki-Ando (A-A) splitting of single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWNT) originating from the Aharanov-Bohm effect was observed in chiral specific SWNTs by the magneto-absorption measurements conducted at magnetic fields of up to 78 T. The absorption spectra from each chirality showed clear A-A splitting of the $E_{11}$ optical excitonic transitions. The parameters of both the dark-bright exciton energy splitting and the rate of A-A splitting in a magnetic field were determined for the first time from the well-resolved absorption spectra.

Novel Magnetic Phases Revealed by Ultra-High Magnetic Field in the Frustrated Magnet ZnCr2O4

The Faraday rotation technique is used to map out the finite-temperature phase diagram of the prototypical frustrated magnet ZnCr2O4, in magnetic fields of up to 190 T generated by the single-turn coil method. We find evidence for a number of magnetic phase transitions, which are well-described by the theory based on spin-lattice coupling. In addition to the 1/2 plateau and a 3:1 canted phase, a 2:1:1 canted phase is found for the first time in chromium spinel oxides, which has been predicted by a theory of Penc et al. to realize in a small spin-lattice coupling limit. Both the new 2:1:1 and the 3:1 phase are regarded as the supersolid phases according to a magnetic analogy of Matsuda and Tsuneto, and Liu and Fisher.

Observation of half-integer quantum Hall effect in single-layer graphene using pulse magnet

We report magnetotransport measurements on a single-layer graphene in pulsed magnetic fields up to $B$ = 53 T. With either electron- or hole-type charge carriers, the Hall resistance $R_{H}$ is quantized into $R_{H}$ = $(h/e^2)ν^{-1}$ with $ν$ = $\pm$2, $\pm$6, and $\pm$10, which demonstrates the observation of half-integer quantum Hall effect (QHE). At $B$ = 50 T, the half-integer QHE is even observed at room temperature in spite of a conventional carrier mobility $μ$ = 4000 cm$^2$/Vs.
