Interwoven atypical quantum states in CeLiBi2

Abstract

Typically, exotic quantum phases reside in different materials, but they can coexist given ideal conditions. This underexplored regime is realized in CeLiBi${}_{2}$, which is found to exhibit multiple atypical quantum phases including incommensurate cycloidal magnetic order, hard-axis metamagnetism, large and linear magnetoresistance, and mobile ultralight carriers. These results indicate that CeLiBi${}_{2}$ is an ideal material to experimentally and theoretically explore simultaneous quantum phenomena and their interdependent relationships.
