Volume-wise destruction of the antiferromagnetic Mott insulating state through quantum tuning

Volume-wise destruction of the antiferromagnetic Mott insulating state through quantum tuning

Knowing whether a quantum phase transition is first- or second-order is crucial for understanding any associated exotic phenomena, but direct experimental evidence has been scarce. Here, Frandsen et al. report first-order magnetic quantum phase transitions in archetypal Mott systems, providing insig...
