Fermi-surface reconstruction at the metamagnetic high-field transition in uranium mononitride
2021
We report on the electronic and thermodynamic properties of the antiferromagnetic metal uranium mononitride with a N\'eel temperature $T_\mathrm{N}\approx 53\,$K. The fabrication of microstructures from single crystals enables us to study the low-temperature metamagnetic transition at approximately $58\,$T by high-precision magnetotransport, Hall-effect and magnetic-torque measurements. We confirm the evolution of the high-field transition from a broad and complex behavior to a sharp first-order-like step, associated with a spin-flop at low temperature. In the high-field state, a quadratic temperature dependence of the in-plane resistivity indicates its metallic character. Our detailed investigation of the Hall effect provides evidence for a prominent Fermi-surface reconstruction as the system is pushed into the high-field state.
