Strong magnetic field induces at least two phase transitions in graphite beyond the quantum limit where many-body effects are expected. We report on a study using a state-of-the-art non-destructive magnet allowing to attain 90.5 T at 1.4 K, which reveals a new field-induced phase and evidence that the insulating state destroyed at 75 T is an excitonic condensate of electron-hole pairs. By monitoring the angle dependence of in-plane and out-of-plane magnetoresistance, we distinguish between the role of cyclotron and Zeeman energies in driving various phase transitions. We find that, with the notable exception of the transition field separating the two insulating states, the threshold magnetic field for all other transitions display an exact cosine angular dependence. Remarkably, the threshold field for the destruction of the second insulator (phase B) is temperature-independent with no detectable Landau-level crossing nearby. We conclude that the field-induced insulator starts as a weak-coupling spin-density-wave, but ends as a strong-coupling excitonic insulator of spin-polarized electron-hole pairs.
We analyze the measured optical conductivity spectra using the density-functional-theory-based electronic structure calculation and density-matrix renormalization group calculation of an effective model. We show that, in contrast to a conventional de
The in-plane resistivity, Hall resistivity and magnetization of graphite were investigated in pulsed magnetic fields applied along the textit{c}-axis. The Hall resistivity approaches zero at around 53 T where the in-plane and out-of-plane resistiviti
We study the phase diagram of the frustrated $t{-}t^prime$ Hubbard model on the square lattice by using a novel variational wave function. Taking the clue from the backflow correlations that have been introduced long-time ago by Feynman and Cohen and
We report the observation of an unusual behavior of highly extended 5d electrons in Y2Ir2O7 belonging to pyrochlore family of great current interest using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy. The experimental bulk spectra reveal an intense low
We have prepared magnetic graphite samples bombarded by protons at low temperatures and low fluences to attenuate the large thermal annealing produced during irradiation. An overall optimization of sample handling allowed us to find Curie temperature
