Researchers from Baylor University, Waco, Texas, and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab) in Tallahassee, Fla., published a review article in Science Advances that connects several decades of research on a family of intermetallic crystalline materials to find practical ways to design strongly correlated electronic, magnetic, and superconducting phenomena.<\/p>\n

Metals that contain lanthanide elements have attracted sustained interest for several decades because they exhibit a wide variety of exciting phenomena, including unconventional superconductivity, complex magnetism and other unusual states. However, scientists are often uncertain which materials will exhibit specific states and must conduct time and resource-intensive, experimental surveys of large number of chemical\/structural combinations to discover new materials with exotic properties.<\/p>\n

A collaboration between Baylor\u2019s Julia Chan, professor of chemistry and biochemistry and materials science and MagLab\u2019s Ryan Baumbach, seeks to provide new clarity for where to look for these enhanced properties.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is often missing is a simple way to determine whether a given compound can reasonably be expected to exhibit novel behavior,\u201d said Baumbach, who is corresponding author on the manuscript. \u201cUnderstanding the likely impacts of tuning and what specific tuning vector(s) would be useful has been a long-standing goal of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

In this work, the authors reexamined a large family of materials containing rare earth elements with a specific structural prototype, ThCr2<\/sub>Si2<\/sub>. There are hundreds of materials that have this structure some of which contain the elements cerium, europium, ytterbium or uranium. The team found useful trends that connected the electronic\/magnetic state of the materials to predictable combinations of the unit cell volume and the chemical composition. Importantly, the materials that exhibit attractive behavior, such as unconventional superconductivity and non-Fermi-liquid behavior, are found in well-defined regions of the phase space.<\/p>\n

These observations are consistent with earlier organizing principles but make an important step forward by clarifying chemical strategies to search for new material combinations within a simple scheme that is accessible to researchers across a wide variety of disciplines.<\/p>\n

As a materials scientist who leads the Chan Research Group, Chan strives to advance the synthesis and characterization of novel quantum materials.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my laboratory, we grow single crystals of solid-state materials so we can directly measure the physical properties,\u201d Chan said. \u201cIn addition to diffraction techniques, we work extensively with collaborators all over the world to learn about the physics of new materials. The key is synthesis of novel quantum materials, critical to understanding the function of emergent materials. The combination of chemistry, physics and materials science insights is synergistic and necessary to advance the field and can impact sustainability, energy and quantum information science.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baumbach hopes to see his and Chan\u2019s work inspire similar maps of electronic and magnetic properties for other structural prototypes of materials as a guide for researchers to find the most exotic materials combinations. While the team conducted this work through careful examination of the vast scientific literature, computer-driven mining of electronic databases could also be a means to usher rapid progress towards developing novel magnets, superconductors and even topological materials.  <\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope that our manuscript will inspire further efforts to aggregate data in this way, not only for materials with structures that are related to the ThCr2<\/sub>Si2<\/sub> structure type, but also for other structure types,\u201d Baumbach said. \u201cIt\u2019s not yet clear whether this simple scheme will work for other systems, but if it does it will accelerate progress towards important discoveries by avoiding brute force investigations of the chemical phase space.\u201d<\/p>\n
