Outline of Final Research Achievements

We theoretically studied novel phenomena characteristic to pyrochlore quantum spin ice, a candidate for a U(1) quantum spin liquid, and produced the following cutting-edge achivements.
We have revealed the global phase diagram under the [111] magnetic field, discovering a valence bond solid and a monopole supersolid.In the junction sandwiching the U(1) quantum spin liquid with two Higgs ferromagnets, it has been found that the electric field applied parallel to the interface induces a tunneling monopole supercurrent and a change in the magnetization normal to the interface. We have proposed the A-site-deintercalated spinel iridate Ir2O4 as a candidate high-temperature quantum spin ice. The first magentic excitation in the ferromagnetic phase of Yb2Ti2O7 has been explained as otherwise gapless artificial photons that acquire an energy gap through the Higgs mechanism.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまで量子スピン液体は極低温に到達しなければ議論できず、純粋に科学的興味からしか研究されてこなかった。特に、実験的にはU(1)量子スピン液体の直接的な証拠を得る方法が認識されていなかった。本研究の成果は,量子スピンアイスの接合系を用いることで、この系でU(1)量子スピン液体を検出することが可能であることを示唆している点で学術的な意義が高い。さらに、高温量子スピンアイスに向けた物質開発を先駆け、モノポールのトンネル超流動流を利用したデバイスについて日米で特許を申請しており、革新的機能性磁性体開発の第一歩となる潜在性をもつ点で、社会的にも意義が高いと思われる。
