Quantum magnets host a wide range of collective states that emerge from the interplay of strong correlations, competing interactions, and topology. Identifying and distinguishing these states experimentally requires tuning parameters that can be applied in a precise, controlled and reversible manner.
Uniaxial pressure and strain are particularly promising tuning parameters for quantum...

The physics of charge order in high-temperature superconducting cuprates is still largely unexplained. While the formation of one-dimensional charge modulations is a common feature of the two-dimensional Hubbard model, no calculation yet succeeds in reproducing even the basic properties of charge order. Recent experiments revealed the presence of strong quantum fluctuations associated to the...

The muon is a useful elementary particle for probing materials. By using accelerator, spin polarized muons can be implanted into a sample, and depolarization of muon spin is detected at the outside by observing muon decay positron or electron. This technique is known as muon spin rotation, relaxation and resonance (µSR). For µSR measurements, high pressure is also a crucial experimental...

The interplay between superconductivity and charge or spin order is a key focus in condensed matter physics, with kagome lattice systems providing unique insights. We discovered that the kagome superconductor LaRu$_{3}$Si$_{2}$ ($T_{c}$ = 6.5 K) exhibits a characteristic kagome band structure and a hierarchy of charge-order transitions at 400 K and 80 K, as well as an additional electronic and...
