“Geometrical frustration” plays a significant role in manifesting diverse physical properties in quantum magnets, exemplified by spin-network motifs such as the triangular lattice, kagome lattice, and pyrochlore lattice. Upon relaxing strict geometrical frustration through structural distortion, these systems often unveil intriguing magnetic orders and related phenomena, driven by a robust spin-lattice coupling. In our recent study, we leverage high-pressure synthesis to induce tunable structural distortion in the highly compelling compound Cu2OSeO3. This process results in the stabilization of a new polymorphic phase (Cu2OSeO3-HP) under ambient pressure conditions, presenting a novel avenue for controlled structural manipulation.
本實驗室在CuO-SeO2-CuCl2三元相圖裡面總共合成八種高品質量子磁性材料,一共發表10篇高品質國際論文,在該三元相圖的結構、磁性、介電性、壓磁及中子磁結構的解析領先全球!
實驗室亦有高壓合成的夥伴協助製備在常壓下無法生成的特殊粉末材料,最高壓可以至10 GPa (也就是10萬大氣壓下)
常用壓力單位換算表1 GPa = 10 kbar = 104 atm
