F ELECTRON MATERIALS. “These conditions are in particular met in the rare-earth and actinide compounds, which have provided a treasure trove of a rich variety of multi-orbital physics over many years.” https://journals.jps.jp/doi/full/10.7566/JPSJ.87.041008 View in LinkedIn

ORIGINS. “The quest for the hidden order parameter in NpO2 started sixty years ago when an unusual phase transition to an unknown ordered phase was discovered below T0 ∼25K.” https://journals.jps.jp/doi/full/10.7566/JPSJ.87.041008 View in LinkedIn

SURROGATES. “Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, its magnificence.” (Alan Watts). https://lnkd.in/ehDrZx9F View in LinkedIn

Albino and purple versions of the common borage flower; at least in Spain, the albino version appears quite rare. View in LinkedIn

ANOMALY. “Subsequent magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed also a clear phase-transition anomaly.” https://journals.jps.jp/doi/full/10.7566/JPSJ.87.041008 View in LinkedIn

GENERAL TREND. “While the physical features of NpO2 are outstanding, the other actinide dioxides are of scientific interest as well.” https://journals.jps.jp/doi/full/10.7566/JPSJ.87.041008 View in LinkedIn

MAGNETICS. “In spite of the alike insulating and structural properties, the AnO2 compounds show a wide variety of magnetic ground states.” https://journals.jps.jp/doi/full/10.7566/JPSJ.87.041008 View in LinkedIn

MAGNETIC SOURCE. “It is already well-understood that the coupling of atomic dipole moments via the Heisenberg–Dirac exchange or Anderson super-exchange interactions leads to the occurrence of long-range magnetic order in condensed matter systems.” https://journals.jps.jp/doi/full/10.7566/JPSJ.87.041008 View in LinkedIn

MAGNETIC PHASES. “Similarly, the exchange coupling of higher-order atomic multipole moments must be responsible for the formation of long-range multipolar order, even in the absence of any dipole moments) and fluctuations of the multipole order lead to phase transitions.” https://journals.jps.jp/doi/full/10.7566/JPSJ.87.041008 View in LinkedIn

COOPER PAIRS. “Multipole fluctuations have also been applied to investigate theoretically the interaction mediating the Cooper pair formation of superconductivity in heavy electron system.” https://journals.jps.jp/doi/full/10.7566/JPSJ.87.041008 View in LinkedIn
