In many quantum materials, strong electron correlations lead to the emergence of new states of matter. In particular, the study in the last decades of the complex phase diagram of high temperature superconducting cuprates highlighted intra-unit-cell electronic instabilities breaking discrete Ising-like symmetries, while preserving the lattice translation invariance. Polarized neutron diffraction experiments have provided compelling evidences supporting a new form of intra-unit-cell magnetism, emerging concomitantly with the so-called pseudogap state of these materials. This observation is currently interpreted as the magnetic hallmark of an intra-unit-cell loop current order, breaking both parity and time-reversal symmetries. More generally, this magneto-electric state is likely to exist in a wider class of quantum materials beyond superconducting cuprates. For instance, it has been already observed in hole-doped Mott insulating iridates or in the spin liquid state of hole-doped 2-leg ladder cuprates.
期刊介绍:
The Comptes Rendus - Physique are an open acess and peer-reviewed electronic scientific journal publishing original research article. It is one of seven journals published by the Académie des sciences.
Its objective is to enable researchers to quickly share their work with the international scientific community.
The Comptes Rendus - Physique also publish journal articles, thematic issues and articles on the history of the Académie des sciences and its current scientific activity.
From 2020 onwards, the journal''s policy is based on a diamond open access model: no fees are charged to authors to publish or to readers to access articles. Thus, articles are accessible immediately, free of charge and permanently after publication.
The Comptes Rendus - Physique (8 issues per year) cover all fields of physics and astrophysics and propose dossiers. Thanks to this formula, readers of physics and astrophysics will find, in each issue, the presentation of a subject in particularly rapid development. The authors are chosen from among the most active researchers in the field and each file is coordinated by a guest editor, ensuring that the most recent and significant results are taken into account. In order to preserve the historical purpose of the Comptes Rendus, these issues also leave room for the usual notes and clarifications. The articles are written mainly in English.
