S=½ chain in a staggered field: high-energy bound-spinon state and the effects of a discrete lattice

Kenzelmann, M.; Batista, C. D.; Chen, Y.; Broholm, C.; Reich, D.H.; Park, S.; Qiu, Y. (American Physical Society, 2005-03-01)

We report an experimental and theoretical study of the antiferromagnetic S=½ chain subject to uniform and staggered fields. Using inelastic neutron scattering, we observe a bound-spinon state at high energies in the linear ...

Coupled Magnetic and Ferroelectric Domains in Multiferroic Ni3V2O8

Chen, W. C.; Kenzelmann, M.; Gentile, T. R.; Chen, Y.; Cabrera, I.; Rogado, N.; Lawes, G.; Broholm, C.; Lynn, J. W.; Erwin, R.; Cava, R.J.; Leao, J. B. (American Physical Society, 2009-08-21)

Electric control of multi-ferroic domains is demonstrated through polarized magnetic neutron diffraction. Cooling to the cycloidal multi-ferroic phase of Ni3V2O8 in an electric field E causes the incommensurate Bragg ...

Bound spinons in an antiferromagnetic S=1/2 chain with a staggered field

Kenzelmann, M.; Chen, Y.; Broholm, C.; Reich, D.H.; Qiu, Y. (American Physical Society, 2004-07-02)

Inelastic neutron scattering was used to measure the magnetic field dependence of spin excitations in the antiferromagnetic S=1/2 chain CuCl2·2(dimethylsulfoxide) in the presence of uniform and staggered fields. Dispersive ...

Direct transition from a disordered to a multiferroic phase on a triangular lattice

Kenzelmann, M.; Lawes, G.; Harris, A. B.; Gasparovic, G.; Broholm, C.; Ramirez, A. P.; Jorge, G.A.; Jaime, M.; Park, S.; Huang, Q.; Shapiro, A. Y.; Demianets, L. A. (American Physical Society, 2007-06-29)

We report the first direct transition from a paramagnetic and paraelectric phase to an incommensurate multiferroic in the triangular lattice antiferromagnet RbFe(MoO4)2. Ferroelectricity is observed only when the magnetic ...

Magnetic inversion symmetry breaking and ferroelectricity in TbMnO3

Kenzelmann, M.; Harris, A. B.; Jonas, S.; Broholm, C.; Schefer, J.; Kim, S. B.; Zhang, C.L.; Cheong, S.-W.; Vajk, O. P.; Lynn, J. W. (American Physical Society, 2005-08-19)

TbMnO3 is an orthorhombic insulator where incommensurate spin order for temperature TN<41 K is accompanied by ferroelectric order for T<28 K. To understand this, we establish the magnetic structure above and below the ...

Field dependence of magnetic ordering in Kagome-staircase compound Ni3V2O8

Kenzelmann, M.; Harris, A. B.; Aharony, A.; Entin-Wohlman, O.; Yildirim, T.; Huang, Q.; Park, S.; Lawes, G.; Broholm, C.; Rogado, N.; Cava, R.J.; Kim, K. H.; Jorge, G.; Ramirez, A. P. (American Physical Society, 2006-07-01)

We present powder and single-crystal neutron diffraction and bulk measurements of the Kagome-staircase compound Ni3V2O8 (NVO) in fields up to 8.5 T applied along the c direction. (The Kagome plane is the a-c plane.) This ...

Phase diagram and spin Hamiltonian of weakly-coupled anisotropic S=½ chains in CuCl2·2((CD3)2SO)

Chen, Y.; Stone, M. B.; Kenzelmann, M.; Batista, C. D.; Reich, D.H.; Broholm, C. (American Physical Society, 2007-06-01)

Field-dependent specific heat and neutron scattering measurements were used to explore the antiferromagnetic S=½ chain compound CuCl2·2((CD3)2SO). At zero field the system acquires magnetic long-range order below TN=0.93 ...

Magnetically driven ferroelectric order in Ni3V2O8

Lawes, G.; Harris, A. B.; Kimura, T.; Rogado, N.; Cava, R.J.; Aharony, A.; Entin-Wohlman, O.; Yildirim, T.; Kenzelmann, M.; Broholm, C.; Ramirez, A. P. (American Physical Society, 2005-08-19)

We show that long-range ferroelectric and incommensurate magnetic order appear simultaneously in a single phase transition in Ni3V2O8. The temperature and magnetic-field dependence of the spontaneous polarization show a ...

Neutron scattering from a coordination polymer quantum paramagnet

Hong, T.; Kenzelmann, M.; Turnbull, M. M.; Landee, C. P.; Lewis, B.D.; Schmidt, K. P.; Uhrig, G. S.; Broholm, C.; Reich, D. (American Physical Society, 2006-09-01)

Inelastic neutron scattering measurements are reported for a powder sample of the spin-1/2 quantum paramagnet Cu(quinoxaline)Br2. Magnetic neutron scattering is identified above an energy gap of 1.9 meV. Analysis of the ...
