Dimerization and effective decoupling in two spin-1 generalizations of the spin-1/2 Majumdar-Ghosh chain

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

We perform a systematic DMRG investigation of the two natural spin-1 generalizations of the spin-1/2 Majumdar-Ghosh chain, the spin-1 J(1)-J(2) Heisenberg chain, where J(2) is a next-nearest-neighbor Heisenberg coupling, and the spin-1 J(1)-J(3) model, whe ...

Spin dynamics of coupled spin ladders near quantum criticality in Ba2CuTeO6

Frédéric Mila

We report inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the magnetic excitations in Ba2CuTeO6, proposed by ab initio calculations to magnetically realize weakly coupled antiferromagnetic two-leg spin-1/2 ladders. Isolated ladders are expected to have a sing ...

Phase control of spin waves based on a magnetic defect in a one-dimensional magnonic crystal

Dirk Grundler, Sho Watanabe

Magnonic crystals are interesting for spin-wave based data processing. We investigate one-dimensional magnonic crystals (1D MCs) consisting of bistable Co20Fe60B20 nanostripes separated by 75 nm wide air gaps. By adjusting the magnetic history, we program ...

Spin polarization and attosecond time delay in photoemission from solids

Mauro Fanciulli

In the photoemission process electrons are emitted from a solid upon excitation with UV light. From the measurement of their energy and momentum, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) allows to reconstruct the electronic properties of the solid ...

Spin dynamics from time-dependent density functional perturbation theory

Iurii Timrov

We present a new method to model spin-wave excitations in magnetic solids, based on the Liouville-Lanczos approach to time-dependent density functional perturbation theory. This method avoids computationally expensive sums over empty states and naturally d ...

Bound States and Field-Polarized Haldane Modes in a Quantum Spin Ladder

Bruce Normand, Christian Rüegg, Pierre Bouillot, Daniel Biner

The challenge of one-dimensional systems is to understand their physics beyond the level of known elementary excitations. By high-resolution neutron spectroscopy in a quantum spin-ladder material, we probe the leading multiparticle excitation by characteri ...
