Bound spinons in an antiferromagnetic S=1/2 chain with a staggered field
(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 ...
Strong magnetic fluctuations in transition metal oxides
(American Institute of Physics, 1996-04-15)
Most magnets have long-range magnetic order when the thermal energy is less than the local magnetic exchange energy (T<|ΘCW|) effects such as reduced dimensionality and frustration, 1 however, can suppress the ordering ...
Longitudinal and perpendicular exchange bias in FeMn/(FeNi/FeMn)n multilayers
(American Institute of Physics, 2003-05-15)
Exchange bias in ferromagnetic (FM)/antiferromagnetic (AF) bilayers is usually investigated in the longitudinal configuration with the exchange coupling established in the film plane. In this work, we report on the ...
S=½ chain in a staggered field: high-energy bound-spinon state and the effects of a discrete lattice
(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 ...
Spinons in the strongly correlated copper oxide chains in SrCuO2
(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 ...
Field dependence of magnetic ordering in Kagome-staircase compound Ni3V2O8
(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)
(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 ...
Spin-trimer antiferromagnetism in La4Cu3MoO12
(American Physical Society, 2005-06-01)
La4Cu3MoO12 is a cluster antiferromagnet where copper spin-1/2 trimers form a network of strongly coupled spin trimers. The magnetic properties of this material have been examined using magnetic neutron scattering. At low ...
Neutron scattering evidence for isolated spin-1/2 ladders in (C5D12N)2CuBr4
(American Physical Society, 2009-09-01)
Inelastic neutron scattering was used to determine the spin Hamiltonian for the singlet ground-state system of fully deuterated BPCB, (C5D12N)2CuBr4. A two-leg spin-1/2 ladder model, with J⊥=(1.09±0.01) meV and J∥=(0.296±0.005) ...
Fermionic spin excitations in two- and three-dimensional antiferromagnets
(American Physical Society, 2009-10-30)
Spin excitations in an ordered Heisenberg magnet are magnons-bosons with spin 1. That may change when frustration and quantum fluctuations suppress the order and restore the spin-rotation symmetry. We show that spin ...
