Possible octupolar phase in oxychlorine copper oxide
Optical second harmonic generation (SHG) is a very powerful and sensitive technique to unveil novel and hidden phases in various compounds with strongly correlated electron systems. Nowadays, SHG studies encompass odd-parity order that breaks the inversion and rotational C4 symmetries in iridates as well as in the pseudogap state of high-Tc copper oxides superconductors, which can be described by a loop current phase originally, proposed for high-Tc cuprates. Recently, SHG measurements reported a new order parameter in Sr2CuO2Cl2 that breaks both magnetic and structural point group symmetries, a potential new ferromagnetic octupolar order parameter. To search for this new phase, we apply for 7 days on Thales equipped with its polarized neutron set-up.
