Determination of the Spinon Confining Potential in a 1D, Spin-1/2 XXZ Antifer...
SrCo2V2O8 is a quasi-1D, S-1/2 antiferromagnet with XXZ anisotropy. Weak interchains coupling result in long-range magnetic order at a finite temperature TN. A spinon continuum... -
Fractionalized spin excitation and crystal electric field study in the rare-e...
A new rare-earth triangular quantum spin liquid (QSL) candidate, YbMgGaO4, has an odd number of electrons per unit cell and spin-orbit entangled effective spin-1/2 (Yb3+).... -
Unveiling the exotic quantum critical point in CeCu6-xAgx
The heavy fermion system CeCu6-xAux is arguably the most important (and studied) heavy fermion series which exhibits a quantum critical point. In recent years several new... -
Spin dynamics in the extended Kagome system YBaCo4O(7+x)
A recently discovered new class of geometrically frustrated magnets is the family of cobalt oxides RBaCo4O7 (R=rare earth or Y). The structure is built up CoO4 tetrahedra which... -
Field-induced transition in a brownmillerite
The objective of this proposal is to solve the field-induced magnetic structure of a newly synthesized brownmillerite. Under normal conditions there are three different magnetic... -
E/T scaling and quantum critical fluctuations in Sr3Ru2O7
Many novel electronic ground states form in close proximity to quantum critical points (QCPs), that is, the point where a continuous phase transition occurs at zero temperature.... -
Critical and quantum critical spins fluctuations in URhGe
Ferromagnetism in URhGe is continuously suppressed with a magnetic field leading to a Quantum Critical Point (QCP) at around 12 T engulfed by a pocket of superconductivity. The... -
Resonant Spin Excitation in Single Crystal of Ba0.8K0.2Fe2As2
We recently observed a resonant spin excitation in Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2, one of the newly discovered iron arsenide superconductors with Tc=38K, on MERLIN. This demonstrates that the... -
Quantum Criticality in YFe2Al10
Quantum phase transitions, where correlation length and time scales diverge, are of broad interest to the condensed matter physics community. The new layered material YFe2Al10... -
What is the cause for the gapped mode in the `BEC' phase of DTN?
Arguably the most-famous quantum phase transition is the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of magnons. It can be studied experimentally in gapped quantum paramagnets when an...
