Excited to share a groundbreaking paper showing 2D and 3D magnetic imaging of samples too thick to be measured until now. From spintronics to paleomagnetism. Happy that @HZBde could make a small contribution to the work lead by the Spin3D group @mpi_CPfS physics.aps.org/articles/v17…

Many body physics in heavy fermions. Hybridization of the electrons energy scheme in a sample made of YbPtBi, ytterbium (Yb), lead (Pt), and bismuth (Bi) under controlled symmetry-breaking and uniaxial pressure. YbPtBi has been hypothesized to possess one of the highest Sommerfeld coefficient γ(*), which relates to the electron density at the Fermi level. Thermodynamic measurements of elastocaloric effects, and capacitance of the material placed across a gap in a sample carrier screwed into a pressure cell and connected to a thermocouple, reports the extremely high γ value at the quasi-sextet crystal electric field level. The experiment which agree with the predictions, provides insight into the limits of the γ factor indicating its proximity to the Van Hove singularity. Credits: @mpi_CPfS.
