Magnetic Field Induced Phase Transitions in YBa2Cu4O8

The c-axis resistivity measurements in YBa2Cu4O8 from Hussey et al. for magnetic field orientations along the c-axis as well as within the ab-plane are analyzed and interpreted using the scaling theory for static and dynamic classical critical phenomena. We identify a superconductor to normal conductor transition for both field orientations as well as a normal conductor to insulator transition ...

Ferrocholesteric–ferronematic transitions induced by shear flow and magnetic field

We study the unwinding of the ferrocholesteric helical structure induced by a combined action of a magnetic field and a shear flow. Both influences are able to induce the ferrocholesteric-ferronematic transition independently; however, the differences between the magnetic field orientation and the flow alignment direction lead to a competition between magnetic and hydrodynamic mechanisms of inf...

Pressure- and field-induced magnetic quantum phase transitions in TlCuCl3

Abstract TlCuCl3 is a quantum spin liquid of S = 1/2 Cu2+ dimers. Interdimer superexchange interactions give a three-dimensional magnon dispersion and a spin gap significantly smaller than the dimer coupling, which is closed by an applied hydrostatic pressure of approximately 2.5 kbar or by a magnetic field of 5.6 T, offering a unique opportunity to explore both the pressureand fieldinduced qua...
