We present a magnetic phase diagram of rare-earth pyrochlore $rm{Yb_2Ti_2O_7}$ in a $langle 111 rangle$ magnetic field. Using heat capacity, magnetization, and neutron scattering data, we show an unusual field-dependence of a first-order phase boundary, wherein a small applied field increases the ordering temperature. The zero-field ground state has ferromagnetic domains, while the spins polarize along $langle 111 rangle$ above 0.65T. A classical Monte Carlo analysis of published Hamiltonians does account for the critical field in the low T limit. However, this analysis fails to account for the large bulge in the reentrant phase diagram, suggesting that either long-range interactions or quantum fluctuations govern low field properties.

Recently, Yb-based triangular lattice antiferromagnets have garnered significant interest as possible quantum spin liquid candidates. One example is YbMgGaO4, which showed many promising spin liquid features, but also possesses a high degree of disor der owing to site-mixing between the non-magnetic cations. To further elucidate the role of chemical disorder and to explore the phase diagram of these materials in applied field, we present neutron scattering and sensitive magnetometry measurements of the closely related compound, YbZnGaO4. Our results suggest a difference in magnetic anisotropy between the two compounds, and we use key observations of the magnetic phase crossover to motivate an exploration of the field- and exchange parameter-dependent phase diagram, providing an expanded view of the available magnetic states in applied field. This enriched map of the phase space serves as a basis to restrict the values of parameters describing the magnetic Hamiltonian with broad application to recently discovered related materials.

We report a density functional theory plus dynamical mean field theory (DFT+DMFT) study of an oxide heterostructure of LaNiO$_3$ (LNO) bilayers in [111] direction interleaved with four atomic monolayers of LaAlO$_3$. DFT+$U$ optimizations yield two s table solutions: a uniform structure with equivalent NiO$_6$ octahedra, as well as a bond-disproportionated (BD) structure featuring a breathing distortion. For both structures, we construct the low-energy models describing the Ni $e_g$ states by means of Wannier projections supplemented by the Kanamori interaction, and solve them by DMFT. Using the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo algorithm in the hybridization expansion, we study the temperature range between 145 and 450 K. For the uniform and the BD structure, we find similar phase diagrams that comprise four phases: a ferromagnetic metal (FM), a paramagnetic metal (PM), an antiferro-orbitally-ordered insulator (AOI), as well as a paramagnetic insulator (PI). By calculating momentum-resolved spectral functions on a torus and a cylinder, we demonstrate that the FM phase is not a Dirac metal, while both insulating phases are topologically trivial. By a comparison with available experimental data and model DMFT studies for the two-orbital Hubbard model, we suggest that LNO bilayers are in the AOI phase at room temperature.

We report the magnetic phase diagram of single-crystalline LiFePO$_4$ in magnetic fields up to 58~T and present a detailed study of magneto-elastic coupling by means of high-resolution capacitance dilatometry. Large anomalies at tn in the thermal exp ansion coefficient $alpha$ imply pronounced magneto-elastic coupling. Quantitative analysis yields the magnetic Gruneisen parameter $gamma_{rm mag}=6.7(5)cdot 10^{-7}$~mol/J. The positive hydrostatic pressure dependence $dT_{rm N}/dp = 1.46(11)$~K/GPa is dominated by uniaxial effects along the $a$-axis. Failure of Gruneisen scaling below $approx 40$~K, i.e., below the peak temperature in the magneto-electric coupling coefficient [onlinecite{toft2015anomalous}], implies several competing degrees of freedom and indicates relevance of recently observed hybrid excitations~[onlinecite{yiu2017hybrid}]. A broad and strongly magnetic-field-dependent anomaly in $alpha$ in this temperature regime highlight the relevance of structure changes. Upon application of magnetic fields $B||b$-axis, a pronounced jump in the magnetisation implies spin-reorientation at $B_{rm SF} = 32$~T as well as a precursing phase at 29~T and $T=1.5$~K. In a two-sublattice mean-field model, the saturation field $B_{rm sat,b} = 64(2)$~T enables the determination of the effective antiferromagnetic exchange interaction $J_{rm af} = 2.68(5)$~meV as well as the anisotropies $D_{rm b} = -0.53(4)$~meV and $D_{rm c} = 0.44(8)$~meV.
Low-temperature, high-field (H[-110] <= 7.5 T), neutron diffraction experiments on single-crystal Ce0.70Pr0.30B6 are reported. Two successive incommensurate phases are found to exist in zero field. The appearance, for H >= 4.6 T at T = 2 K, of an ant iferromagnetic structure, k{AF} = (1/2, 1/2, 1/2), most likely due to an underlying antiferroquadrupolar order, is discussed in connection with recent x-ray diffraction experiments.
We present measurements of the magnetoresistivity RHOxx of URu2Si2 single crystals in high magnetic fields up to 60 T and at temperatures from 1.4 K to 40 K. Different orientations of the magnetic field have been investigated permitting to follow the dependence on Q of all magnetic phase transitions and crossovers, where Q is the angle between the magnetic field and the easy-axis c. We find out that all magnetic transitions and crossovers follow a simple 1/cos(Q) -law, indicating that they are controlled by the projection of the field on the c-axis.
