Quantum fluctuations can inhibit long-range ordering in frustrated magnets and potentially lead to quantum spin liquid (QSL) phases. A prime example are gapless QSLs with emergent U(1) gauge fields, which have been understood to be described in terms of quantum electrodynamics in 2+1 dimension (QED). Despite several promising candidate materials, however, a complicating factor for their realisation is the presence of other degrees of freedom.

In this study, we performed high-magnetic-field magnetization, dielectric, and ultrasound measurements on an organic salt showing a ferroelectric spin-Peierls (FSP) state, which is in close proximity to a quantum critical point. In contrast to the sparsely distributed gaslike spin solitons typically observed in conventional spin-Peierls (SP) states, the FSP state exhibits dense liquidlike spin solitons resulting from strong quantum fluctuations, even at low fields. Nevertheless, akin to conventional SP systems, a magnetic-field-induced transition is observed in the FSP state.

Electron-phonon interactions and electron-electron correlations represent two crucial facets of condensed matter physics. For instance, in a half-filled spin-1/2 anti-ferromagnetic chain, the lattice dimerization induced by electron-nucleus interaction can be intensified by onsite Coulomb repulsion, resulting in a spin-Peierls state. Through first-principles calculations and crystal structure prediction methods, we have identified that under mild pressures, potassium and ammonia can form stable compounds: R3¯m K(NH), Pm3¯m K(NH), and Cm K(NH).

The title radical R⋅, synthesized by reduction of the corresponding cation R, is thermally stable up to ~380 K in the crystalline state under anaerobic conditions. With SQUID magnetometry, single-crystal and powder XRD, solid-state EPR and TG-DSC, reversible spin-Peierls transition between diamagnetic and paramagnetic states featuring ~10 K hysteretic loop is observed for R⋅ in the temperature range ~310-325 K; ΔH=~2.03 kJ mol and ΔS=~6.

Structural, electronic and magnetic properties of ilmenite-type CoVOhave been explored via the generalized gradient approximation + effective Hubbardcorrection, in the framework of density functional theory. Our results indicate that high temperature rhombohedralR3-phase is metallic with oxidation states and electronic configurations Co(t2g↑3eg↑2t2g↓2eg↓0), V(t2g↑1eg↑0t2g↓0eg↓0), respectively, while low temperature triclinicP1-phase, induced from spin-Peierls transition in the V-V dimerization manner, is insulating, maintaining charge and electronic states unchanged. Furthermore, the A-type antiferromagnetic ordering, where the ferromagnetic honeycomb layers are anti-aligned along the stacking axis, is identified to be the magnetic ground state for the low temperature phase, in nice agreement with experimental findings, analogous to CoTiO.
