Determining the Hamiltonian of a New Quantum Spin Ice Material
Pr2Hf2O7 is a potential quantum spin ice compound. Compared to the classical spin ice ions Ho3+ and Dy3+, Pr3+ has weaker Ising anisotropy and significant XY terms leading to... -
Understanding anaesthetics: Ethanol partitioning into lipid membranes, effect...
Ethanol plays an important role in the human metabolism. It is in particular known to act as a drug enhancer by increasing trans-membrane permeability, and as an anesthetic.... -
Dispersionless spin waves and field-induced magnetic order in Gd3Al5O12
Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG) is the archetypal frustrated magnet with unusual short-range order and magnetic excitations. Recently we have found that the dominant contribution to INS in GGG... -
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+)....
