We report measurements of the de Haas-van Alphen effect in CeIn3 in magnetic fields extending to ~90 T, well above the Neel critical field of Hc ~61 T. The unreconstructed Fermi surface a-sheet is observed in the high magnetic field polarized paramagnetic limit, but with its effective mass and Fermi surface volume strongly reduced in size compared to that observed in the low magnetic field paramagnetic regime under pressure. The spheroidal topology of this sheet provides an ideal realization of the transformation from a `large Fermi surface accommodating f-electrons to a `small Fermi surface when the f-electron moments become polarized.

We report on the electronic and thermodynamic properties of the antiferromagnetic metal uranium mononitride with a Neel temperature $T_Napprox 53,$K. The fabrication of microstructures from single crystals enables us to study the low-temperature meta magnetic transition at approximately $58,$T by high-precision magnetotransport, Hall-effect, and magnetic-torque measurements. We confirm the evolution of the high-field transition from a broad and complex behavior to a sharp first-order-like step, associated with a spin flop at low temperature. In the high-field state, the magnetic contribution to the temperature dependence of the resistivity is suppressed completely. It evolves into an almost quadratic dependence at low temperatures indicative of a metallic character. Our detailed investigation of the Hall effect provides evidence for a prominent Fermi-surface reconstruction as the system is pushed into the high-field state.
Motivated by the famous and pioneering mathematical works by Perelman, Hamilton, and Thurston, we introduce the concept of using modern geometrical mathematical classifications of multi-dimensional manifolds to characterize electronic structures and predict non-trivial electron transport phenomena. Here we develop the Fermi Surface Geometry Effect (FSGE), using the concepts of tangent bundles and Gaussian curvature as an invariant. We develop an index, $mathbb{H}_F$, for describing the the hyperbolicity of the Fermi Surface (FS) and show a universal correlation (R$^2$ = 0.97) with the experimentally measured intrinsic anomalous Hall effect of 16 different compounds spanning a wide variety of crystal, chemical, and electronic structure families, including where current methods have struggled. This work lays the foundation for developing a complete theory of geometrical understanding of electronic (and by extension magnonic and phononic) structure manifolds, beginning with Fermi surfaces. In analogy to the broad impact of topological physics, the concepts begun here will have far reaching consequences and lead to a paradigm shift in the understanding of electron transport, moving it to include geometrical properties of the E vs k manifold as well as topological properties.

We present quantum oscillation measurements of YbRh2Si2 at magnetic fields above the Kondo-suppression scale H0 ~ 10 T. Comparison with electronic structure calculations is complicated because the small Fermi surface, where the Yb 4f-quasi-hole is no t contributing to the Fermi volume, and large Fermi surface, where the Yb 4f-quasi-hole is contributing to the Fermi volume, are related by a rigid Fermi energy shift. This means that spin-split branches of the large Fermi surface can look like unsplit branches of the small surface, and vice-versa. Thus, although the high-field angle dependence of the experimentally-measured oscillation frequencies most resembles the electronic structure prediction for the small Fermi surface, this may instead be a branch of the spin-split large Fermi surface.

We report a comprehensive de Haas--van Alphen (dHvA) study of the heavy-fermion material CeRhIn$_5$ in magnetic fields up to 70~T. Several dHvA frequencies gradually emerge at high fields as a result of magnetic breakdown. Among them is the thermodyn amically important $beta_1$ branch, which has not been observed so far. Comparison of our angule-dependent dHvA spectra with those of the non-$4f$ compound LaRhIn$_5$ and with band-structure calculations evidences that the Ce $4f$ electrons in CeRhIn$_5$ remain localized over the whole field range. This rules out any significant Fermi-surface reconstruction, either at the suggested nematic phase transition at $B^{*}approx$ 30~T or at the putative quantum critical point at $B_c simeq$ 50~T. Our results rather demonstrate the robustness of the Fermi surface and the localized nature of the 4$f$ electrons inside and outside of the antiferromagnetic phase.
Metallic LiOsO$_3$ undergoes a continuous ferroelectric-like structural phase transition below $T_c$ = 140 K to realize a polar metal. To understand the microscopic interactions that drive this transition, we study its critical behavior above $T_c$ v ia electromechanical coupling - distortions of the lattice induced by short-range dipole-dipole correlations arising from Li off-center displacements. By mapping the full angular distribution of second harmonic electric-quadrupole radiation from LiOsO$_3$ and performing a simplified hyper-polarizable bond model analysis, we uncover subtle symmetry-preserving lattice distortions over a broad temperature range extending from $T_c$ up to around 230 K, characterized by non-uniform changes in the short and long Li-O bond lengths. Such an extended region of critical fluctuations may explain anomalous features reported in specific heat and Raman scattering data, and suggests the presence of competing interactions that are not accounted for in existing theoretical treatments. More broadly, our results showcase how electromechanical effects serve as a probe of critical behavior near inversion symmetry breaking transitions in metals.
