Ultrasonic observation of small Fermi surfaces in La$T$In$_5$ ($T$ = Co, Rh, Ir)

We performed high-field ultrasonic measurements on La$T$In$_5$ ($T$ = Co, Rh, Ir) to reveal the origin of the small Fermi surface that was recently observed in LaRhIn$_5$ with an oscillation frequency of 6.8 T. We observed quantum oscillations originating from this Fermi surface in LaRhIn$_5$. In addition, we revealed that LaCoIn$_5$ and LaIrIn$_5$ exhibit quantum osciilations with frequencies below 100 T, indicating hidden Fermi surfaces in these compounds. Furthermore, Co-substituted LaRhIn$_5$ exhibited quantum oscillations with a frequency of 10 T. Our results suggest that the small Fermi surface originates from bulk properties and that $3d$ electrons of the transition metal contribute to its formation.

Spin dynamics in natural multiferroic pyroxene NaFeSi$_2$O$_6$

Spin dynamics in the natural mineral aegirine, NaFeSi$_2$O$_6$, a member of the pyroxene family, was studied by elastic and inelastic neutron scattering. Magnetization and specific heat measurements as well as single-crystal neutron diffraction maps, taken in the temperature range 2 - 20 K, confirm two successive magnetic transitions at 8.8 and 5.8 K, consistent with previous studies. The observed spin-wave excitations emerge from the incommensurate magnetic Bragg peaks corresponding to the propagation vector $k_{\rm ICM} = (0, 0.77, 0)$, and extend up to energies of about 1.5 meV. In the low-temperature helical phase, the spin dynamics of the Fe$^{3+}$ ions is well described by a simple linear spin-wave model. The observed excitations can be modeled using a spin Hamiltonian that includes three primary exchange interactions - intrachain coupling $J=0.142(2)$ meV, interchain couplings $J_1=0.083(1)$ meV and $J_2=0.186(1)$ meV - and an easy-plane anisotropy $D=0.020(6)$ meV. Our results show that no single exchange interaction dominates the spin dynamics. The similar strengths of the intrachain and interchain couplings point to the fact that the magnetic interactions in aegirine are three-dimensional rather than confined along one direction. As a result, the system cannot be considered quasi-one-dimensional, as previously suggested, and calls for further investigations.

High-Field Ultrasonic Study of CeIrIn$_5$

We performed ultrasonic and temperature measurements under pulsed magnetic fields on CeIrIn$_5$ to investigate whether or not the origin of metamagnetic transition and field-induced Lifshitz transition was described by the anisotropic electronic ordering with crystal symmetry breaking. We observed elastic anomalies with the negative magnetocaloric effects around the field-induced Lifshitz transition and the metamagnetic transition. On the other hand, the elastic anomalies appeared both in the transverse elastic constants $(C_{11} - C_{12})/2$ and $C_{66}$ in CeIrIn$_5$ while $(C_{11} - C_{12})/2$ showed significant elastic anomaly at the crystal symmetry breaking fields in CeRhIn$_5$. These results indicate that the anisotropic electronic ordering with crystal symmetry breaking is absent in high-magnetic fields in CeIrIn$_{5}$.

Elastic Soft Mode and Electric Quadrupole Response in Excitonic Insulator Candidate (Ta$_{0.952}$V$_{0.048}$)$_2$NiSe$_5$: Contribution of Electron-Phonon Interaction

We performed ultrasonic measurements on (Ta$_{0.952}$V$_{0.048}$)$_2$NiSe$_5$ to investigate the contribution of acoustic phonons at the zone center to structural and possible excitonic transitions. The transverse elastic constant $C_{55}$ with irreducible representation $B_\mathrm{2g}$ exhibits softening over 90\% above a transition temperature of $T_\mathrm{s} = 280$ K, indicating the soft mode of corresponding TA phonons. Our analysis based on the quadrupole response indicates that the electron-phonon interaction contributes to the excitonic transition in addition to the hybridization between the conduction and valence bands if the excitonic transition is realized.

Symmetry lowering on the field-induced commensurate phase in CeRhIn$_5$

Temperature dependence of the $^{115}$In-NMR spectra of CeRhIn$_5$ is studied with the external magnetic fields 10$^\circ$ off the [100] and [001] axes. Our detailed analyses confirm that the AFM3 phase breaks the four-fold spin symmetry with the commensurate ordering vector of $Q = (0.5, 0.5,0.25)$. Based on the observation of anistropic hyperfine fields, we also propose the symmetry lowering of the electronic structure in the AFM3 phase.

First-Order Structural Change Accompanied by Yb Valence Transition in YbInCu4

A diffraction experiment using a high energy x-ray was carried out on YbInCu4. Below the Yb valence transition temperature, the splitting of Bragg peaks was detected in higher-order reflections. No superlattice reflections accompanying the valence ordering were found below the transition temperature. These experimental findings indicate that a structural change from a cubic structure to a tetragonal structure without valence ordering occurs at the transition temperature. Such a structural change free from any valence ordering is difficult to understand only in terms of Yb valence degrees of freedom. This means that the structural change may be related to electronic symmetries such as quadrupolar degrees of freedom as well as the change in Yb valence.

153Eu and 69,71Ga Zero-Field NMR Study of Antiferromagnetic State in EuGa4

We report $^{153}$Eu and $^{69,71}$Ga NMR under a zero magnetic field on the antiferromagnetic state of EuGa$_{4}$ with $T_{\rm{N}}\approx 16$ K. We have successfully observed a $^{153}$Eu zero-field NMR signal with well-resolved nuclear quadrupole splitting in the antiferromagnetic state of EuGa$_{4}$. $^{69,71}$Ga zero-field NMR spectra were also observed below $T_{\rm{N}}$. The internal field and nuclear quadrupole frequency are estimated from a simulation of the spectra by the exact diagonalization of the nuclear spin Hamiltonian matrix. The asymmetrically split zero-field NMR spectra were explained by considering a configuration of the magnetic moments of Eu$^{2+}$ lying in the basal $ab$-plane. The temperature dependence of the internal field, which is proportional to the sublattice magnetization, can be explained by the Brillouin function with $J=S=7/2$
