Abstract:
Strong electron correlations produce rich and novel quantum states. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), utilizing the quantum spin and/or quadrupolar moments of nuclei, is a powerful local probe to detect the nature and the low-energy spin fluctuations of quantum states in strongly correlated electron systems.
In this talk, I will focus on our recent high-pressure NMR studies on two classes of materials. In iron-based high-temperature superconductors, we found signatures of charge ordering [1], established intrinsic quantum magnetic structures [2], and revealed high-temperature short-range-ordered nematicity [3] in different compounds. For a spin-orbit coupled Mott insulator -RuCl3, which was proposed to have proximate Kitaev spin-liquid behaviors, we found that its magnetic structure can be suppressed either by magnetic field or by pressure, resulting in a gapless spin-liquid-like phase [4] and a valence-bond-solid-like phase [5] respectively. The existence of these novel quantum states reveals the interplays among spin, charge, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom.
