Abstract: We report dielectric and magnetoelectric studies of single-crystalline \ce{CeMgAl11O19}, a Kramers triangular magnet embedded in a polarizable hexaaluminate lattice. In zero magnetic field, the permittivity $\varepsilon'(T)$ follows the Barrett law of a quantum paraelectric down to 25 K, below which a broad minimum develops near 3 K without evidence of static ferroelectric or magnetic order. Application of magnetic fields up to \SI{9}{\tesla} shifts this minimum to higher temperatures and broadens it, evidencing a tunable magnetoelectric response.The magnetoelectric coupling was characterized using results from magnetization measurements. The anomaly temperature $T^*$, extracted from the local minimum of $\varepsilon'(T)$, exhibits a linear dependence on the squared magnetization $M^2$, consistent with the biquadratic magnetoelectric coupling allowed in centrosymmetric systems. This magnetoelectric effect, mediated by spin-orbit-entangled Kramers doublets interacting with a frustrated antipolar liquid, establishes \ce{CeMgAl11O19} as a prototype for exploring quantum magnetoelectricity in frustrated systems.

Imaging magnetism evolution of magnetite to megabar pressure range with quantum sensors in diamond anvil cell [57.91882523720623]
We develop an in-situ magnetic detection technique at megabar pressures with high sensitivity and sub-microscale spatial resolution. We observe the macroscopic magnetic transition of Fe3O4 in the megabar pressure range from strong ferromagnetism (alpha-Fe3O4) to weak ferromagnetism (beta-Fe3O4) and finally to non-magnetism (gamma-Fe3O4) The presented method can potentially investigate the spin-orbital coupling and magnetism-superconductivity competition in magnetic systems.
