Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2025.
초록/해제  
요약Much of the original motivation for this thesis stemmed from the idea of doing a 'bottom-up' approach in understanding phenomena present in some high-temperature superconductors. A phase that breaks the rotational symmetry (also called a nematic phase) of the crystal lattice is present both in the cuprates [101] and Fe-based superconductors [73]. Studies have been conducted that show that superconductivity can be enhanced, or even originate from, a nematic quantum critical point [60, 61]. However, these high-temperature superconductors are notorious for their many phases, which complicate the ability to completely understand the nature of the nematic phase or its influence on superconductivity.Breaking down Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2[ 14], for example, the nematic phase is present alongside the magnetic phase as x is tuned. As x is increased, there exists a putative quantum critical point underneath the peak of the superconducting dome. With strong electronic interactions and clear disorder present from the substitution of Co, this representative material system illustrates how difficult disentangling and understanding the intertwined orders can be. A bottom-up approach takes the idea of starting with as simple a material system as possible for a particular order, building upon it, and keeping a close eye on emergent phenomena. One can imagine starting with a clean, simple nematic system with interactions only pertaining to that phase, then introducing disorder, electron-electron interactions, and more to 'build up to' the high-temperature superconductors in a systematic fashion. Heavily researched materials from the 1970s serve as an excellent platform for this pursuit, as they are very well understood, both experimentally and theoretically, and, with the use of modern techniques and perspective, these classic materials offer an opportunity to construct a new framework from which we can understand more complex and exotic materials.Because of the aforementioned link to superconductivity, much of the interest in nematic systems is in the influence of a quantum critical point on other phases. In theory, simple nematic phases can be suppressed to zero Kelvin by some tuning parameter, allowing for one to probe a quantum critical state without obstruction. Indeed, the title material, TmVO4, provides a clean, tunable, and attainable way to experimentally access the quantum critical point. The ideality of a model system both allows some freedom (i.e., the ability to calculate and predict phenomena) and opens more opportunities for questions (i.e., 'do our experimental observations follow the current model exactly?', 'is the model missing anything?', and 'can we push this to a limit in which the model no longer works?').Similar to the questions asked above, other, more fundamental motives, also drove this work, possibly to an even greater extent than the connection to high-temperature superconductivity. Independently, higher rank multipoles (i.e., higher than dipoles) are interesting because they provide local moment realizations of a wider set of electronic states. For example, ferroquadrupolar order is a local moment realization of nematic order; ferro-octupole order is a local moment realization of certain types of altermagnet; certain types of hexadecapole order are realizations of ferroaxial order; thus, one can import and address open questions associated with these wider electronic phases in the context of local moment systems for which the underlying Hamiltonian is much better understood. One interesting aspect of this is how the coupling to the lattice in materials that possess such quadrupolar (i.e., nematic) fluctuations is different in comparison to magnetic systems [74, 54]. This can affect classical and quantum critical behavior because the correlation length only grows along specific directions ('selective direction criticality'), which profoundly affects the thermal and quantum phase transitions. Indeed, the fact that the ferroquadrupolar thermal phase transition follows mean-field expectations is precisely because of this effect [74, 54]. From an experimentalist's point-of-view, higher rank multipoles require techniques that probe these states directly (or at least semi-directly), making them very challenging and interesting to study in a laboratory setting. Because strain couples bilinearly to quadrupoles, and can be used as part of a composite effective field for higher rank multipoles [21, 105], strain-based tools and approaches are especially effective at elucidating broken symmetries and coupling to associated fluctuations. Therefore, there is a special role for anisotropic strain (in conjunction with magnetic field in some cases, such as in octupolar materials), as it can couple to higher rank multipoles directly [42].As will be discussed at length in the rest of the Introduction, the physical model that provides the context for understanding TmVO4 is the transverse field Ising model (TFIM); the TFIM is one of the most fundamental models used to study classical and quantum phase transitions, capturing the essential interplay of spin-spin interactions that favor an Ising-like ordered phase along a particular direction, and a transverse field along a different direction that suppresses the phase by introducing quantum fluctuations.
