[Messages from the editor: Scientists hold the belief for a long time that the ferromagnetic quantum critical point does not exist. However, Professor YUAN Huiqiu, executive deputy director of the Center for Correlated Matter (CCM), has been taking an opposite position. SHEN Bin and ZHANG Yongjun, PhD candidates in YUAN’s group, recently shared a Nature paper- “Strange metal behavior in a pure ferromagnetic Kondo lattice” with co-first authorship. They shared with Global Commun...

A study led by Prof. YUAN Huiqiu at the Center for Correlated Matter and Department of Physics reported the discovery of a quantum critical point and strange metal behavior in the ferromagnet CeRh6Ge4. Their findings overturn the prevailing belief that ferromagnetic quantum critical points do not exist in nature, and establish the existence of an enigmatic “strange metal” phase in a new setting, that of ferromagnetic materials.
