Such an increase in thermal energy commonly leads to the melting of a solid into a fluid and eventually vaporises the liquid into a gaseous phase of matter. Here, together with theorists from Aarhus, Denmark, we study the finite-temperature physics of dipolar quantum fluids and find surprising deviations from this general phenomenology. In particular, we describe how heating a dipolar superfluid from near-zero temperatures can induce a phase transition to a supersolid state with a broken translational symmetry. The predicted effect agrees with our experimental measurements from the Er-Dy, which opens the door for exploring the unusual thermodynamics of dipolar quantum fluids.<\/p>\r\n<p><br \/><br \/>See the pre-print here: <a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/pdf\/2209.00335.pdf\">arXiv:2209.00335<\/a> and the published paper here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-023-37207-3\">Nature Communications (2023)<\/a><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now published!
