Magnetic fields in monoclinic $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ reveal rhombohedral inclusions underlying apparent oscillations

Ezekiel Horsley, Hamza Nasir Daniel Balazs, K. A. Modic, Muhammad Nauman, Subin Kim, Young-June Kim

Transitions beyond antiferromagnetic order in α-RuCl₃ arise from multiple shifted phase boundaries caused by rhombohedral inclusions.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Our results show that transitions previously observed beyond the AFM regime under in-plane fields arise from multiple shifted AFM phase boundaries associated with monoclinic inclusions, rather than non-magnetic phases.

C2weakest assumption

That the high-resolution magnetotropic susceptibility data cleanly separate contributions from monoclinic matrix and rhombohedral inclusions without undetected strain or defect effects altering the apparent boundaries.

C3one line summary

Apparent quantum spin liquid signatures in α-RuCl₃ under in-plane fields arise from multiple shifted AFM phase boundaries due to rhombohedral inclusions in monoclinic samples.
