Polar metals taxonomy for materials classification and discovery

D Hickox-Young, D Puggioni, JM Rondinelli - Physical Review Materials, 2023 - APS
Over the past decade, materials that combine broken inversion symmetry with metallic
conductivity have gone from a thought experiment to one of the fastest growing research …

Metamagnetic texture in a polar antiferromagnet

DA Sokolov, N Kikugawa, T Helm, H Borrmann… - Nature Physics, 2019 - nature.com
The notion of a simple ordered state implies homogeneity. If the order is established by a
broken symmetry, the elementary Landau theory of phase transitions shows that only one …

Spontaneous cycloidal order mediating a spin-reorientation transition in a polar metal

CD Dashwood, LSI Veiga, Q Faure, JG Vale, DG Porter… - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We show how complex modulated order can spontaneously emerge when magnetic
interactions compete in a metal with polar lattice distortions. Combining neutron and …
