-UTe
, a van der Waals (vdW) actinide compound with a monoclinic ZrSe
-type structure, is a narrow-gap semiconductor with
moments.
Te NMR reveals strongly anisotropic, layer-confined spin fluctuations below 20 K, with the
-axis component enhanced, and a signal wipeout at the antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition
K. Single-crystal neutron diffraction finds
and a longitudinal sinusoidal modulation of
-axis moments with an amplitude of

, the reduced ordered moment, and the exchange-driven selection of

vdW magnet, establishing a constrained exchange geometry that stabilizes this in-plane incommensurate state.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:78.36(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We present a comprehensive experimental investigation of the temperature evolution of magnetic states in the triangular-lattice delafossite YbCuSe
. Magnetization measurements on high-quality single crystals reveal easy-plane anisotropy. Specific heat, magnetization, and muon spin relaxation (
SR) measurements establish the absence of magnetic order or spin freezing down to 0.03~K (
), demonstrating a dynamically fluctuating quantum spin liquid (QSL) ground state. Thermodynamic measurements uncover multiple characteristic energy scales at
~K,
~K, and
~K. Below
,
SR detects a dynamical phase separation in which the majority of the spins form a QSL state, while the remaining spins constitute a sporadic, disorder-induced state decoupled from the dominant QSL component. Remarkably, the unconventional temperature dependence of the
SR relaxation rate indicates the emergence of roton-like excitations between
and
, a feature not previously observed in any QSL system, preceding the stabilization of the low-temperature QSL below 0.3~K. These findings identify YbCuSe
as a unique QSL platform, providing valuable insights for further experimental and theoretical exploration.

-iron was investigated over the range 300-950 K at pressures of approximately 2 and 6 GPa by
neutron powder diffraction. The
Fe isotope, whose neutron scattering length is approximately half that of naturally abundant Fe, was employed to enhance the relative contribution of magnetic scattering. Curie temperatures (
) were determined to be 946(30) K, 838(50) K and 740(40) K at 2.1, 6.0 and 6.7 GPa, respectively, defining a magnetic phase boundary described by
(K) = 1043 - 49(7)
+ 1.3(1.2)
. Upon heating at 6.7 GPa, the
structural transition was observed to follow the magnetic transition. This transition sequence indicates that the magnetic phase boundary lies on the low-temperature side of the
phase boundary. Accordingly, the
transition corresponds to a structural transformation from paramagnetic bcc to paramagnetic fcc iron.

Sn
is a Kondo lattice compound with a layered structure composed of a triangular lattice of Yb
ions and a vanadium-based kagome network, and it orders antiferromagnetically at
K. We performed a
V-NMR study of its paramagnetic state. The field-angular dependence of single-crystal NMR spectra allowed us to determine the principal axes of the electric field gradient tensor, the quadrupole frequency
, and the asymmetry parameter
at the
V sites. Knight-shift and susceptibility analyses revealed anisotropic hyperfine couplings, while the spin-lattice relaxation rate
showed enhanced low-energy spin fluctuations below
~K with strong in-plane anisotropy. A further field-tunable enhancement below
~K suggests proximity to the very-low-temperature antiferromagnetic instability.

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We investigated the three-dimensional nature of spin fluctuations in the iron-based superconductor
by combining time-of-flight inelastic neutron scattering with DFT-based theoretical modeling. The neutron measurements revealed a clear out-of-plane modulation of the low-energy magnetic intensity, with maxima at odd
positions, indicating robust antiferromagnetic correlations along the
axis. With increasing energy, this modulation gradually disappears, signaling a crossover from three-dimensional to nearly two-dimensional spin dynamics. Calculations based on a realistic three-dimensional electronic structure reproduce both the low-energy
modulation and its energy-dependent suppression. Our itinerant approach, built on a material-specific DFT-derived band structure, captures this three-dimensional-to-two-dimensional crossover without phenomenological tuning, thereby providing a stringent benchmark for realistic electronic-structure models of iron-based superconductors.
