In ferromagnets, electric current generally induces a transverse Hall voltage in proportion to the internal magnetization. This effect is frequently used for electrical readout of the spin up and down states. While these properties are usually not expected in antiferromagnets, recent theoretical studies predicted that non-coplanar antiferromagnetic order with finite scalar spin chirality - meaning a solid angle spanned by neighboring spins - can induce a large spontaneous Hall effect even without net magnetization or external magnetic field. This phenomenon, the spontaneous topological Hall effect, can potentially be used for the efficient electrical readout of the antiferromagnetic states, but it has not been experimentally verified due to a lack of appropriate materials hosting such magnetism. Here, we report the discovery of all-in-all-out type non-coplanar antiferromagnetic order in triangular lattice compounds CoTa$$_{3}$$S$$_{6}$$ and CoNb$$_{3}$$S$$_{6}$$. These compounds are reported to host unconventionally large spontaneous Hall effect despite their vanishingly small net magnetization, and our analysis reveals that it can be explained in terms of the topological Hall effect that originates from the fictitious magnetic field associated with scalar spin chirality. These results indicate that the scalar spin chirality mechanism offers a promising route to the realisation of giant spontaneous Hall response even in compensated antiferromagnets, and highlight intercalated van der Waals magnets as a promising quasi-two-dimensional material platform to enable various nontrivial ways of electrical reading and possible writing of non-coplanar antiferromagnetic domains.

Magnetic properties of Tb$$_5$$Sb$$_3$$ are reported. Unlike previous investigations on a polycrystal showing multiple phase transitions, the present single crystal sample shows a single transition 133 K. It is also shown that the magnetic hysteresis increases at low temperatures.

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically stable swirling spin textures with particle-like character, and have been intensively studied as a candidate of high-density information bit. While magnetic skyrmions were originally discovered in noncentrosymmetric systems, recently a nanometric skyrmion lattice has also been reported for centrosymmetric rare-earth compounds. For the latter systems, a novel skyrmion formation mechanism mediated by itinerant electrons has been proposed, and the search of a simpler model system allowing for a better understanding of their intricate magnetic phase diagram is highly demanded. Here, we report the discovery of square and rhombic lattices of nanometric skyrmions in a centrosymmetric binary compound EuAl$$_4$$, by performing small-angle neutron and resonant elastic X-ray scattering experiments. Unlike previously reported centrosymmetric skyrmion-hosting materials, EuAl$$_4$$ shows multiple-step reorientation of the fundamental magnetic modulation vector as a function of magnetic field, probably reflecting a delicate balance of associated itinerant-electron-mediated interactions. The present results demonstrate that a variety of distinctive skyrmion orders can be derived even in a simple centrosymmetric binary compound, which highlights rare-earth intermetallic systems as a promising platform to realize/control the competition of multiple topological magnetic phases in a single material.

FeSi is a nonmagnetic narrow-gap insulator, exhibiting peculiar charge and spin dynamics beyond a simple band structure picture. Those unusual features have been attracting renewed attention from topological aspects. Although the surface conduction was demonstrated according to size-dependent resistivity in bulk crystals, its topological characteristics and consequent electromagnetic responses remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate an inherent surface ferromagnetic-metal state of FeSi thin films and its strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) properties through multiple characterizations of two-dimensional conductance, magnetization, and spintronic functionality. Terminated covalent bonding orbitals constitute the polar surface state with momentum-dependent spin textures due to Rashba-type spin splitting, as corroborated by unidirectional magnetoresistance measurements and first-principles calculations. As a consequence of the spin-momentum locking, nonequilibrium spin accumulation causes magnetization switching. These surface properties are closely related to the Zak phase of the bulk band topology. Our findings propose another route to explore noble metal-free materials for SOC-based spin manipulation.

We investigated the structural, magnetic, transport, and high-temperature thermoelectric properties of single crystals of the pseudobrookite Al$$_{1-x}$$Ti$$_{2+x}$$O$$_{5}$$ for $$0 le x le 1$$ grown using a floating zone. We found a correlation of spin-singlet Ti$$^{3+}$$-Ti$$^{3+}$$ dimers coupled with the lattice even in the conductive $$alpha$$ and $$lambda$$ phases which develops with increasing $$x$$. This developing dimer correlation reduces the number of unpaired Ti$$^{3+}$$ ions, which makes the compound more conductive owing to the suppression of disorder for $$x$$ up to about 0.75. The dimer fluctuation causes a critical enhancement of the magnetic susceptibility at around 150 K in the $$lambda$$ phase near the boundary ($$x sim 0.9$$) between the $$lambda$$ and the $$beta$$ phases. Such a correlation of the spin-singlet Ti$$^{3+}$$-Ti$$^{3+}$$ dimers may produce a high Seebeck coefficient in the conductive $$alpha$$ and $$lambda$$ phases leading to a large thermoelectric power factor at high temperatures.

For the skyrmion-hosting intermetallic Gd$$_2$$PdSi$$_3$$ with centrosymmetric hexagonal lattice and triangular net of rare earth sites, we report a thorough investigation of the magnetic phase diagram. Our work reveals a magnetic phase with an isotropic value of the critical field for all orientations, where the magnetic ordering vector ${bf q}$ is depinned from its preferred directions in the basal plane. The bulk nature of the skyrmion lattice and of other magnetic phases was evidenced by specific-heat measurements. Resistivity anisotropy, likely originating from partial gapping of the density of states along ${bf q}$ in this Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yoshida magnet, is picked up via the planar Hall effect (PHE). The PHE confirms the single-${bf q}$ nature of the magnetic order when the field is in the hexagonal plane, and allows one to detect the preferred directions of ${bf q}$. Several scenarios for the depinned phase are discussed on the basis of the data.

MnSi中に発生する磁気スキルミオンの相転移の挙動を中性子小角散乱ストロボスコピック測定により観測した。温度を50K/秒という速度で急激に変化させている間に13マイクロ秒の時間分解能で中性子小角散乱パターンの時間変化を測定することに成功し、その結果、温度の上昇によって磁気スキルミオンが消滅する様子や、急速な冷却過程で生成されたスキルミオンが本来存在できない低温まで過冷却状態で残る様子などが明らかとなった。

The phonon dynamics of spin-state crossover for perovskite LaCoO$$_3$$ was investigated using infrared and inelastic X-ray spectroscopy. We observed that the Co-O bond stretching phonons couples to the thermally excited spin-state. The momentum dispersion of the optical mode is anomalously dispersionless (less than 3 meV), and this supports the spin-state disproportionation scenario. The steep enhancement of spin-state fluctuation compared to the charge gap suggests the density dependent spin state disproportionation; a simple low spin (LS)/high spin (HS)- or LS/intermediate spin (IS)-state disproportionation is realized at the initial stage with dilute HS- (or IS-) state density, while the complex spin-state disproportionation involving all of the LS-, IS- and HS-state is formed when the density of HS- (or IS-) state is enhanced.

Infrared optical and inelastic X-ray scattering spectra have been systematically investigated in combination with first-principles calculations for paraelectric and antiferromagnetic perovskite Sr$$_{1-x}$$Ba$$_x$$MnO$$_3$$ single crystals, which are close to a ferroelectric transition arising from off-center displacement of magnetic Mn$$^{4+}$$ ions. One optical phonon rapidly softens toward zero frequency at room temperature with increasing $$x$$. This soft-mode behavior is also reproduced by the first-principles calculations, from which we have predicted the vibration mode of all the optical phonons. Below the antiferromagnetic-transition temperature, the soft mode hardens with decreasing temperature and then resoftens toward the lowest temperature.

Perovskite-type manganites exhibit various interesting phenomena arising from complex interplay among spin, charge, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom. As the respective examples, perovskite-type YMnO$$_3$$ and Sr$$_{1-x}$$Ba$$_x$$MnO$$_3$$ are discussed. In the YMnO$$_3$$, the ferroelectric lattice distortion associated with the $$E$$-type spin order is observed for the first time. Displacement-type ferroelectricity with off-center magnetic ions is discovered for Sr$$_{0.5}$$Ba$$_{0.5}$$MnO$$_3$$, which shows both large polarization value and strong coupling between ferroelectricity and magnetism.

低温高圧力下の中性子回折実験により、RVO$$_{3}$$(R=Y, Tb)の磁気相図を明らかにした。TbVO$$_{3}$$では、その基底状態が加圧によって${it C}$-タイプのスピン秩序(${it C}$-SO)から${it G}$-タイプのスピン秩序(${it G}$-SO)へと変化することが明らかとなった。これまでに基底状態の軌道秩序は、加圧により${it G}$-タイプの軌道秩序(${it G}$-OO)から${it C}$-タイプの軌道秩序(${it C}$-OO)へと変化することが明らかになっていたが、これと完全に対応している。一方、YVO$$_{3}$$の基底状態は、常圧から今回の最高圧力値6.2GPaまで、${it G}$-SOと${it C}$-OOが同時に存在し、非秩序相-[${it G}$-SO, ${it C}$-OO]相間の相転移が、ペロブスカイト型の遷移元素酸化物RMO$$_{3}$$において初めて観測された。両物質において[${it G}$-SO, ${it C}$-OO]相が加圧とともに安定化していくが、これは共有結合効果と超交換相互作用が重要な役割を果たしていると考えられる。

We investigated an effect of spin dilution on the magnetic and thermal properties of delafossite CuCrO$$_{2}$$ having an $$S$$ = 3/2 antiferromagnetic triangular lattice (ATL) by the substitution of Al$$^{3+}$$ for Cr$$^{3+}$$ by measurements of magnetization, specific heat, and neutron scattering. Spin defects introduced into Cr ATL layers blur the antiferromagnetic transition and induce a dimensional crossover of low-energy magnetic excitation in the residual Cr ATL region due to the reduction of inter-layer magnetic interaction, while accompanying an enhancement of a spin-glass component. The observed $$T^{2}$$ contribution to the low-$$T$$ $$C_mathrm{mag}$$ above $$y$$ = 0.15, as well as in Cu$$_{0.85}$$Ag$$_{0.15}$$CrO$$_{2}$$, comes mainly from a short-range 2D AF excitation originating in a nontrivial magnetic state such as spin-nematic or spin-liquid states.

We report a systematic investigation on the high-temperature thermoelectric response in a typical filling-control Mott transition system La$$_{1-x}$$Sr$$_x$$VO$$_3$$. In the vicinity of the Mott transition, incoherent charge transport appears with increasing temperature and the thermopower undergoes two essential crossovers, asymptotically approaching the limit values expected from the entropy consideration, as known as Heikes formula. By comparison with the results of the dynamical mean field theory, we show that the thermopower in the Mott critical state mainly measures the entropy per charge carrier that depends on electronic degrees of freedom available at the measurement temperature. Our findings verify that the Heikes formula is indeed applicable to the real correlated electron systems at practical temperatures (T$$>$$200K).

Magnetic and magnetoelectric (ME) properties have been studied for single crystals of Sc-doped $$M$$-type barium hexaferrites. Magnetization ($$M$$) and neutron diffraction measurements revealed that by tuning Sc concentration a longitudinal conical state is stabilized up to above room temperatures. ME measurements have shown that a transverse magnetic field ($$H$$) can induce electric polarization ($$P$$) at lower temperatures and that the spin helicity is nonvolatile and endurable up to near the conical magnetic transition temperature.

We have investigated the spin/orbital phase diagram in the perovskite orthovanadate $$R$$VO$$_3$$ ($$R$$ = Eu, Y, Dy, and Ho) by measurements of magnetization, dielectric constant, specific heat, Raman scattering spectra, and X-ray diffraction, focusing on the interplay between the V $$3d$$ spin and the $$4f$$ moment of the $$R$$ ion. The results cannot be uniquely explained in terms of the exchange interaction between the V $$3d$$ spin and the $$R$$-ion $$4f$$ moment. By comparing this phase diagram with the spin/orbital ordering in TbVO$$_3$$, it is evident that the critical competition between the C-type spin/G-type orbital ordered phase and the G-type spin/C-type orbital ordered one depends not only on the GdFeO$$_3$$-type lattice distortion but also on the presence of the $$4f$$ moment of the $$R$$ ion. The magnetic field induced phase transition of the spin/orbital ordering is achieved concomitantly with polarizing $$R$$ $$4f$$ moments for DyVO$$_3$$ and HoVO$$_3$$. The results cannot be uniquely explained in terms of the exchange interaction between the V $$3d$$ spin and the $$R$$-ion $$4f$$ moment. The coupling of the $$R$$ $$4f$$ moment polarization with the lattice distortion tied with the orbital ordering of the V $$3d$$ sublattice may also be relevant to this field induced phase transition.

Magnetic structure of a multiferroic Y-type hexaferrite Ba$$_{2}$$Mg$$_{2}$$Fe$$_{12}$$O$$_{22}$$ with helical-spin structures propagating along [001] below 195K has been extensively studied, using polarized and unpolarized neutron diffractions under transverse magnetic fields up to 4.5T. The magnetic phase diagram was investigated as a function of transverse B and coexistence of several phases with different helical-spin periodicity was confirmed at low-B region. By using the polarized neutron diffraction under transverse B, we verified that the ferroelectric phase with the largest electric polarization P with a commensurate k0 vector (0,0,3/2) has a transverse-conical structure. The relation between the transverse-conical spin structure and P as a function of the transverse B is discussed in terms of the inverse Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya model.

Polarized neutron scattering experiments under electric field in the commensurate phase of HoMn$$_2$$O$$_5$$ and ErMn$$_2$$O$$_5$$ have been performed to study the direct relation between the electric polarization and the magnetic chirality $$S_i times S_j$$. It is found that, after cooling in electric fields down to temperatures where the system has both commensurate magnetic order and ferroelectricity, the magnetic chirality is proportional to the polarization.

TbMnO$$_{3}$$ exhibits a spontaneous electric polarization along $$mathbf{c}$$ concomitantly with a spiral spin ordering modulated along $$mathbf{b}$$ below $$T$$$$_{rm c}$$ = 28 K. We have performed inelastic X-ray scattering measurements on a single crystal of TbMnO$$_{3}$$ to clarify whether phonon anomalies related to the ferroelectricity exist. We measured transverse modes, especially the Mn-O-Mn bending mode polarized along $$mathbf{c}$$ and propagating along $$mathbf{b}$$, which we expect is most relevant to the ferroelectricity. However, no anomaly was found in the phonon dispersion below 50 meV across $$T$$$$_{rm c}$$. The present result suggests that the mechanism of ferroelectricity in TbMnO$$_3$$ is different from that of a conventional displacive-type ferroelectric. The weak coupling between electric polarization and lattice in TbMnO$$_{3}$$ strongly suggests that the ferroelectricity is mainly derived from the spiral spin ordering.
