Field-induced Tomonaga-Luttinger Liquid phase in a spin ladder
The new molecular magnet bis(2,3-dimethylpyridinium) tetrabromocuprate (DIMPY) is a strong-leg spin ladder with a quantum critical point at 3 T separating a low-field... -
Copy of: Spin Dynamics of the Central Fe Atom of Reduced Model Fe-Porphyrins
We propose to study the dynamics of the central Fe spin in reduced model Fe-porphyrins. Our aim is to clarify a relatioship between the spin dynamics of Fe and functions of... -
muSR in the presence of significant spin-orbit coupling
The great majority of known muonium defect centres and muonium substituted organic radicals have essentially spin-only magnetism, with few exhibiting any noticeable departure... -
Field induced spin Luttinger liquid phase in a spin ladder
Spin ladders present a class of low dimensional quantum magnets that occupy a regime of subtle behaviour which lies between the stark extremes of a one-dimensional chain or... -
Spin dynamics in the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid system SrCo2V2O8
SrCo2V2O8 is believed to belong to the same rare universality class as Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids, which may be descrived by the 1D XXZ model. In SrCo2V2O8, this is accomplished... -
Level crossings in open ring molecular magnets
Molecular nanomagnets (MNMs) comprise clusters of exchange coupled transition metal ions which often have a negative anisotropy constant, favouring a ground state with a large... -
Does the muon reach thermal equilibrium in a frustrated magnet?
The usual assumption that the muon's polarisation relaxes to zero at long times may be incorrect at high B and low T: for 5T and 30mK the Brillouin function gives P=49%. We plan... -
Separating static and dynamic contributions to the muon relaxation in Ca3(Co,...
Ca3CoMnO6 has alternating ions in ferromagnetic Ising chains that are antiferromagnetically coupled on a triangular lattice and realizes an important model in frustrated... -
The role of spin fluctuations, disorder and non-colinearity in the INVAR effect
The origin of the Invar effect, whereby certain ferromagnetic alloys exhibit near zero thermal expansion around room temperature is still not properly understood. Although the... -
