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 ...

Broken parity and a chiral ground state in the frustrated magnet CdCr2O4

Chern, G.-W.; Fennie, C.J.; Tchernyshyov, O. (American Physical Society, 2006-08-01)

We present a model describing the lattice distortion and incommensurate magnetic order in the spinel CdCr2O4, a good realization of the Heisenberg 'pyrochlore' antiferromagnet. The magnetic frustration is relieved through ...

Spinons in the strongly correlated copper oxide chains in SrCuO2

Broholm, C.; Perring, T.G.; Takagi, H.; Frost, C.D.; Zaliznyak, L.A.; Woo, H. (American Physical Society, 2004-08-20)

We have investigated the spin dynamics in the strongly correlated chain copper oxide SrCuO2 for energies up to ≥0.6 eV using inelastic neutron scattering. We observe a gapless continuum of magnetic excitations, which is ...

Ising phases of Heisenberg ladders in a magnetic field

Penc, K.; Fouet, J.-B.; Miyahara, S.; Tchernyshyov, O.; Mila, F. (American Physical Society, 2007-09-14)

We show that Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions can substantially modify the phase diagram of spin-1/2 Heisenberg ladders in a magnetic field provided they compete with exchange. For nonfrustrated ladders, they induce ...

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.; Chen, Y.1; Stone, M.B.1; Kenzelmann, M.1; 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 ...

Itinerant magnetic excitations in antiferromagnetic CaFe2As2

Diallo, S.O.; Antropov, V.P.; Perring, T.G.; Broholm, C.; Pulikkotil, J.J.; Ni, N.; Bud'ko, S.L.; Canfield, P.C.; Kreyssig, A.; Goldman, A.I.; McQueeney, R.J. (American Physical Society, 2009-05-08)

Neutron scattering measurements of the magnetic excitations in single crystals of antiferromagnetic CaFe2As2 reveal steeply dispersive and well-defined spin waves up to an energy of ~100 meV. Magnetic excitations above 100 ...
