TL;DR: In this article, the authors used thermodynamic, muon spin relaxation ({\mu} SR), and neutron scattering experiments on single crystals of Ce2Zr2O7 to demonstrate the absence of magnetic ordering and the presence of a spin excitation continuum at 35 mK, consistent with the expectation of a QSL.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Pbc21 phase and ferroelectricity in bulk single-crystalline HfO2:Y were reported using a state-of-the-art laser-diode-heated floating zone technique.

TL;DR: Using a floating zone growth approach, ferroelectricity in bulk Y-doped hafnia is demonstrated and density-functional-theory calculations indicate that the yttrium doping and rapid cooling are the key factors for stabilization of the desired phase in bulk.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed neutron scattering and muon spin relaxation study uncovers a continuum of magnetic excitations down to 35mK in the pyrochlore lattice compound Ce2Zr2O7.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the first successful growth of highly-cleavable Sc-stabilized hexagonal Lu0.6Sc0.4FeO3 (h-LSFO) single crystals, as well as the first visualization of their intrinsic cloverleaf pattern of vortex FE domains and large-loop WFM domains.
