Research Interest

  

(1) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Studies of Strongly Correlated Electron Materials


The research directions of our group focus on novel quantum states, quantum phase transitions, and quantum critical behaviors in unconventional superconducting materials, low-dimensional and frustrated quantum magnetic materials. Many new types of condensed matter materials exhibit peculiar physical properties. The root cause lies in the extremely strong electron-electron Coulomb interactions in these systems. The spin, charge, and orbital degrees of freedom of electrons, as well as phonons, are coupled together, giving rise to complex properties with potential applications in sensing, storage, energy, quantum information, and quantum computing. Such systems are known as strongly correlated electron systems.


Condensed matter NMR, by means of hyperfine coupling, magnetic dipole coupling, and electric field gradient coupling between atomic nuclei and electrons, conducts sensitive microscopic explorations and studies of the electrical and magnetic properties of correlated electron materials. Its important applications include utilizing the site-selective, local, and bulk characteristics of NMR, and combining with modulation techniques such as variable temperature, variable magnetic field, and high pressure, to conduct research on crystal structures, magnetic structures, magnetic excitations, charge orders, superconductivity, and quantum phase transitions.


(2) Development of NMR Testing Techniques under Extreme Conditions


NMR research enables the reading and writing of the magnetic states of atomic nuclei using electromagnetic waves. It is widely applied in scientific research and application fields such as physics, biology and medicine, chemistry, and mineral exploration, and has won the Nobel Prize five times. Our laboratory develops a variety of experimental techniques, especially NMR under extreme conditions such as low temperature, high pressure, and high magnetic field. Currently, the laboratory has state-of-the-art international technical capabilities, including NMR combined with 30,000 atmospheres, 20 millikelvins, and 16 teslas; the internationally leading technology is NMR combined with 80,000 atmospheres, 1.5 K, and 10 teslas.

Achievements

The research group has developed two internationally leading nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement technologies: one combining 30,000 atmospheres of pressure with dilution refrigeration, and the other combining 80,000 atmospheres of pressure with liquid helium refrigeration. In recent years, leveraging the advantages of NMR in position selectivity and low-energy magnetic detection, research has been conducted on the magnetic properties, superconducting mechanisms, and quantum phase transitions of correlated electron materials such as iron-based superconductors and spin-frustrated materials. The main focus is on the NMR-based physical property research of unconventional superconductors and quantum magnetic materials. To date, more than 70 SCI papers have been published, including 15 papers in Science, Physical Review Letters (PRL), Physical Review X (PRX), and Nature Communications (NC). 12 papers have received more than 100 citations each, and the H-index is 34. In 2012, the group was funded by the National Science Foundation for Excellent Young Scientists Project.


Representative Works in Recent Years

1) Low-Dimensional and Frustrated Quantum Magnetism and Quantum Critical Phenomena

(1) An experimental discovery of a quantum critical phenomenon that transcends the Landau theory paradigm: the deconfined quantum critical phenomenon (Science, 2023, Representative Paper 1. Click to view related introduction, as well as the recommended article by Prof. Frederic Mila in Journal of Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (JCCM)).

(2) At the transverse-field quantum critical point of the one-dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising material BaCoVO, quantum states with E algebraic states were discovered (Physical Review Letters, 2021, Representative Paper 2. View the recommended article by Prof. Masaki Oshikawa in JCCM).

(3) Through research on triangular-lattice Ising antiferromagnetic materials, the first experimental evidence of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition in magnetic materials was found (Nature Communications, 2020, Representative Paper 3).

(4) In the one-dimensional antiferromagnetic material SrCoVO, a one-dimensional Ising-type quantum critical point was achieved at low fields for the first time (Physical Review Letters, 2019, Representative Paper 4), opening up new avenues for further studies on its physical properties.

(5) For the spin-frustrated material α-RuCl, a phase diagram under magnetic fields was established for the first time, revealing that the magnetic field suppresses magnetic order and induces a quantum spin liquid state, and that this spin liquid state exhibits gapless Dirac-type fermionic excitations (Physical Review Letters, 2017, Representative Paper 6).

(6) BaCoNbO₂₄ was studied first, and it was proposed that this material could be used as the first ideal two-dimensional triangular-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnetic material for research. It was proposed that this material may have a quantum spin liquid state at zero field, and a quantum phase transition from magnetic order is induced under high magnetic fields [Physical Review Materials, 2018].


2) Superconducting Materials

(1) Through high-pressure nuclear magnetic resonance studies at dilution refrigeration temperatures, the striped magnetic structure of the FeSe superconducting material under high pressure was solved for the first time (Physical Review Letters, 2016, Representative Paper 7), promoting the establishment of a microscopic interaction model for this material and the understanding of its superconducting mechanism.

(2) The technique of ionic liquid hydrogenation was introduced into the research of iron-based superconductors. The electron-doping effect caused by hydrogenation increased the superconducting transition temperature of FeSe-based materials from 8.5 K to 42.5 K. High-sensitive hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance measurements revealed unconventional superconducting properties, providing new ideas for electron doping and hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance research (Science Bulletin, 2018, ESI highly cited, Representative Paper 5. View the recommended article by Prof. Hideo Hosono in Science Bulletin).

(3) Experimental results such as unconventional spin-singlet pairing (Physical Review Letters, 2011, Representative Paper 13), microscopic coexistence of superconductivity and magnetic order (Physical Review Letters, 2012, Representative Paper 9), and the correlation between spin fluctuations and the superconducting transition temperature (Physical Review Letters, 2013, Representative Paper 8) were observed in iron-based superconducting materials
