  • Recently, rich condensed matter physics has emerged from the interplay between band topology and magnetic order. Here, the authors characterize the magnetic Weyl semimetal CeAlGe and find evidence for the role of Weyl fermions in stabilizing the magnetic order above the local transition temperature.

  • The improper ferroelectric mechanism of YMnO3 has been difficult to observe directly but is important for understanding its other interesting properties such as multiferroicity. Bansal et al. use neutron scattering and ab initio calculations to show that phonons drive the transition, confirming earlier theories.

  • The interplay between nematic, antiferromagnetic order and superconductivity in the iron pnictide superconductors remains obscured. Here, Wang et al. demonstrate well-separated nematic and Neel transition temperatures near optimal superconductivity in NaFe1−xNixAs and uncover local distortions which could account for rotational symmetry breaking common in iron pnictides.

  • Recent studies have reported the exceptional plasticity of InSe van der Waals crystals, but their deformation-correlated lattice dynamics remains unexplored. Here, the authors investigate the correlations of plastic interlayer slip, lattice anharmonicity and thermal transport in β-InSe crystals via neutron scattering techniques.

  • Magnetic short-range ordering has been observed at low temperatures as quantum phase transitions in some compounds. Here, magnetic short-range ordering is found to remain at temperatures up to 720 K in noncentrosymmetric Mn3RhSi.

  • In materials with strongly correlated electrons, charge carriers can separate into stripes of different electronic phases. Here, Anissimova et al. present evidence that in La2−xSrxNiO4these stripes can dynamically fluctuate, which helps to understand phenomena such as insulator–metal transitions.

  • Whether an actual Mott insulator phase exists in iron pnictides remains elusive. Here, Songet al. demonstrate an antiferromagnetic insulator phase persisting above the Néel temperature in NaFe1−xCuxAs, indicative of a Mott insulator, highlighting the role of electron correlations in high-Tcsuperconductivity.

  • Theories predict a large thermopower and a quantized thermoelectric Hall conductivity in topological semimetals. Here, the authors observe an ultrahigh longitudinal thermopower and a giant power factor attributed to the quantized thermoelectric Hall effect in a Weyl semimetal TaP.
