被引用回数：61 パーセンタイル：93.15(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Thermoelectric technologies are becoming indispensable in the quest for a sustainable future. Recently, an emerging phenomenon, the spin-driven thermoelectric effect (STE), has garnered much attention as a promising path towards low cost and versatile thermoelectric technology with easily scalable manufacturing. However, progress in development of STE devices is hindered by the lack of understanding of the fundamental physics and materials properties responsible for the effect. In such nascent scientific field, data-driven approaches relying on statistics and machine learning, instead of more traditional modeling methods, can exhibit their full potential. Here, we use machine learning modeling to establish the key physical parameters controlling STE. Guided by the models, we have carried out actual material synthesis which led to the identification of a novel STE material with a thermopower an order of magnitude larger than that of the current generation of STE devices.

被引用回数：4 パーセンタイル：34.72(Physics, Multidisciplinary)-YbAlB shows strong valence fluctuation as well as heavy fermion behavior at low temperatures. It has been theoretically suggested that the quantum criticality owing to the valence fluctuation found in Yb ions plays an important role in the peculiar properties of this material. In this work, we measured the X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the L3 edge of Yb ions in high magnetic fields of up to 40 T. It is found that the XAS are almost independent of the magnetic field at 2 K, which proves that there is no significant valence change in this field range. The XMCD spectrum exhibits a distinct negative peak at the low-energy side of the L3 edge as well as the main positive peak near the white line. The negative XMCD peak is attributed to the quadrupole transition between the 2p and 4f states, and gives us microscopic information on the 4f state. This finding supports the recent theoretical proposal that 
is the ground state of the localized Yb magnetic moment, where 
is the z-component of the total angular momentum of Yb

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：43.09(Physics, Atomic, Molecular & Chemical)価数転移に伴う量子臨界現象が理論的に提案され、希土類金属間化合物における価数揺動現象が注目を集めている。最近、
-YbAlBがチューニングなしで量子臨界を示すことと強い混合原子価状態にあることが見出された。この研究では我々は-YbAlFeB ()について磁化曲線とX線吸収を測定した。この物質は、局所的には-YbAlBと同一構造をもつ多形である。磁化測定とX線測定はそれぞれ55Tと40Tまで行った。Yb価数のわずかな上昇が磁化曲線が傾きの変化を示す磁場で観測された。
