In the metal-organic perovskite copper guanidinium formate, correlated Jahn-Teller distortion gives rise to a 1D magnetic structure made up of Heisenberg antiferromagnetic... -
Dynamics of an antimicrobial oligopeptide
Abstract. In experiments at LLB and ILL we have measured low-resolution INS spectra and elastic scans for H2O- and D2O-hydrated samples of a 15-residue oligopeptide between 30... -
Investigation of two frustrated quantum magnets with a novel interaction scheme
The isostructural compounds ACuTe2O6 (A=Sr, Pb) consist of a 3-dimensional arrangement of spin-1/2 Cu ions. There are 3 potentially strong interactions, the first neighbor... -
Investigation of the magnetic frustration in ACr3As3 (A = K, Rb and Cs)
The recently discovered quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) superconductor A2Cr3As3 (A=K, Rb and Cs with TC ≈ 6.1 K, 4.8 K and 2.2 K, respectively) has intrigued intensive... -
