In the presence of a magnetic field frustrated spin systems may exhibit plateaus at fractional values of saturation magnetization. Such plateau states are stabilized by classical and quantum mechanisms including order-by-disorder, triplon crystallization, and various competing order effects. In the case of electrically conducting systems, free electrons represent an incisive probe for the plateau states. Here we study the electrical transport of Ising-type rare earth tetraborides $R$B$_4$ ($R=$Er, Tm), a metallic Shastry-Sutherland lattice showing magnetization plateaus. We find that the longitudinal and transverse resistivities reflect scattering with both the static and dynamic plateau structure. We model these results consistently with the expected strong uniaxial anisotropy in a quantitative level, providing a framework for the study of plateau states in metallic frustrated systems.

Six high-entropy rare earth tetraborides of the tetragonal UB4-prototyped structure have been successfully synthesized for the first time. The specimens are prepared from elemental precursors via high-energy ball mill and in-situ reactive spark plasm
a sintering. The sintered specimens are >98% in relative densities without detectable oxide impurities (albeit the presence of minor hexaborides in some compositions). No detectable secondary phase is observed in the composition (Y$_{0.2}$Nd$_{0.2}$Sm$_{0.2}$Gd$_{0.2}$Tb$_{0.2}$)B$_{4}$, which is proven homogeneous at both microscale and nanoscale. The Vickers microhardness are determined to be ~13-15 GPa at a standard indentation load of 9.8 N. A scientifically interesting observation is represented by the anisotropic lattice distortion from the rule-of-mixture averages. This work expands the family of high-entropy ceramics via fabricating a new class of high-entropy borides with a unique tetragonal quasi-layered crystal structure.
Rare-earth (RE) based frustrated magnets as typical systems of combining strong spin-orbit coupling, geometric frustration and anisotropic exchange interactions, can give rise to diverse exotic magnetic ground states such as quantum spin liquid (QSL)
. The discovery of new RE-based frustrated materials is crucial for exploring the exotic magnetic phases. Herein, we report the synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of a family of melilite-type RE2Be2GeO7 (RE = Pr, Nd, Gd-Yb) compounds crystallized in a tetragonal structure, where magnetic RE3+ ions lay out on Shastry-Sutherland lattice (SSL) within ab-plane and are well separated by nonmagnetic GeBe2O7 polyhedrons along c-axis. Temperature-dependent susceptibilities and isothermal magnetization M(H) measurements reveal that most RE2Be2GeO7 compounds except RE=Tb show no magnetic ordering down to 2 K despite the dominant antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions, where Tb2Be2GeO7 undergoes AFM transition with Neel temperature TN~ 2.5 K and field-induced spin flop behaviors (T< TN). In addition, the calculated magnetic entropy change from the isothermal M(H) curves reveal a viable magnetocaloric effect (MCE) for RE2Be2GeO7 (RE =Gd, Dy) in liquid helium temperature regimes, Gd2Be2GeO7 shows maximum Sm up to 54.8 J K-1 Kg-1 at H= 7 T and Dy2Be2GeO7 has largest value Sm=16.1 J K-1 kg-1 at H= 2 T in this family. More excitingly, rich diversity of RE ions in this family enables an archetype for exploring exotic quantum magnetic phenomena with large variability of spin located on SSL lattice.
Neutron diffraction measurements were carried out on single crystals and powders of Yb2Pt2Pb, where Yb moments form planes of orthogonal dimers in the frustrated Shastry-Sutherland Lattice (SSL). Yb2Pt2Pb orders antiferromagnetically at TN=2.07 K, an
d the magnetic structure determined from these measurements features the interleaving of two orthogonal sublattices into a 5*5*1 magnetic supercell that is based on stripes with moments perpendicular to the dimer bonds, which are along (110) and (-110). Magnetic fields applied along (110) or (-110) suppress the antiferromagnetic peaks from an individual sublattice, but leave the orthogonal sublattice unaffected, evidence for the Ising character of the Yb moments in Yb2Pt2Pb. Specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, and electrical resistivity measurements concur with neutron elastic scattering results that the longitudinal critical fluctuations are gapped with E about 0.07 meV.
Weyl semimetal is a topologically non-trivial phase of matter with pairs of Weyl nodes in the k-space, which act as monopole and anti-monopole pairs of Berry curvature. Two hallmarks of the Weyl metallic state are the topological surface state called
the Fermi arc and the chiral anomaly. It is known that the chiral anomaly yields anomalous magneto-transport phenomena. In this study, we report the emergence of the type-II Weyl semimetallic state in the geometrically frustrated non-collinear antiferromagnetic Shastry-Sutherland lattice (SSL) GdB4 crystal. When we apply magnetic fields perpendicular to the noncollinear moments in SSL plane, Weyl nodes are created above and below the Fermi energy along the M-A line (tau-band) because the spin tilting breaks the time-reversal symmetry and lifts band degeneracy while preserving C4z or C2z symmetry. The unique electronic structure of GdB4 under magnetic fields applied perpendicular to the SSL gives rise to a non-trivial Berry phase, detected in de Haas-van Alphen experiments and chiral-anomaly-induced negative magnetoresistance. The emergence of the magnetic field-induced Weyl state in SSL presents a new guiding principle to develop novel types of Weyl semimetals in frustrated spin systems.
We show that temperature and magnetic field properties of the entanglement between spins on the two-dimensional Shastry-Sutherland lattice can be qualitatively described by analytical results for a qubit tetramer. Exact diagonalization of clusters wi
th up to 20 sites reveals that the regime of fully entangled neighboring pairs coincides with the regime of finite spin gap in the spectrum. Additionally, the results for the regime of vanishing spin gap are discussed and related to the Heisenberg limit of the model.
