Triplons, magnons, and spinons in a single quantum spin system: SeCuO3

Helmuth Berger, Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Ivica Zivkovic, Bruce Normand, Luc Testa

Quantum magnets display a wide variety of collective excitations, including spin waves (magnons), coherent singlet-triplet excitations (triplons), and pairs of fractional spins (spinons). These modes differ radically in nature and properties, and in all co ...

Strong decoupling between magnetic subsystems in the low-dimensional spin-1/2 antiferromagnet SeCuO3

The search for and understanding of low-dimensional magnetic materials is essential for both fundamental and technological purposes. Here we propose a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of such a system, namely the monoclinic phase of SeCu ...

Analysis of the low-frequency spectrum of the cubic noncentrosymmetric ferrimagnet Cu2OSeO3

The IR reflectance spectra of the cubic noncentrosymmetric ferrimagnet Cu2OSeO3 (T-C approximate to 60 K) were investigated in the temperature range 10-80 K. Detailed analysis of the symmetry and composition of vibrational modes was conducted on the basis ...

Magnetic and resonance properties of the two-dimensional S=1 compound Ni-5(TeO3)(4)Cl-2 with frustrated geometry

The magnetic and magnetoresonance properties of a new single-crystal compound Ni-5(TeO3)(4)Cl-2 are studied. Measurements of the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility of the crystal in a wide temperature range (5-300 K) make it possible to conclude tha ...

Ferrimagnetism of the magnetoelectric compound Cu2OSeO3 probed by Se-77 NMR

Helmuth Berger, Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Frédéric Mila

We present a thorough Se-77 nuclear-magnetic-resonance (NMR) study of a single crystal of the magnetoelectric compound Cu2OSeO3. The temperature dependence of the local electronic moments extracted from the NMR data is fully consistent with a magnetic phas ...

Excitation energy map of high-energy dispersion anomalies in cuprates

The anomalous high-energy dispersion of the conductance band in the high-T-c superconductor Bi(Pb)(2)Sr2CaCu2O8+delta (Pb-Bi2212) has been extensively mapped by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy as a function of excitation energy in the range from ...

Soft-mode dynamics and sublattice polarization in an archetypal antiferroelectric

Terahertz and far-infrared techniques are combined with complementary Raman and inelastic neutron scattering results to probe the low-energy phonon dynamics of archetypal antiferroelectric candidate - francisite (Cu3Bi(SeO3)(2)O2Cl). The combined results c ...

Field-induced reorientation of helimagnetic order in Cu2OSeO3 probed by magnetic force microscopy

Cu2OSeO3 is an insulating skyrmion-host material with a magnetoelectric coupling giving rise to an electric polarization with a characteristic dependence on the magnetic-field (H) over right arrow. We report a magnetic force microscopy imaging of the helic ...

Differential-thermal analysis around and below the critical temperature T-c of various low-T-c superconductors: A comparative study

We present specific-heat data on the type-II superconductors V3Si, LuNi2B2C and NbSe2 which were acquired with a low-temperature thermal analysis (DTA) technique. We compare our data with available literature data on these superconductors. In the first par ...

Magnetoelectric effects in single crystals of the cubic ferrimagnetic helimagnet Cu2OSeO3

Helmuth Berger, Jean-Philippe Ansermet

We present magnetodielectric measurements in single crystals of the cubic spin-1/2 compound Cu2OSeO3. A magnetic-field-induced electric polarization (P) and a finite magnetocapacitance (MC) is observed at the onset of the magnetically ordered state (T-c = ...

Low-temperature magnetic and thermal properties of the frustrated two-dimensional S=1 compound Ni-5(TeO3)(4)Cl-2

The temperature and magnetic field dependent magnetization of the two-dimensional quantum spin system Ni-5(TeO3)(4)Cl-2 has been investigated using single crystals in temperature range 1.8-100 K and in magnetic fields up to 14 T. The magnetization below th ...

Microscopic evidence for strong periodic lattice distortion in two-dimensional charge-density wave systems

Helmuth Berger, Ji Dai

In quasi-two-dimensional electron systems of layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) there is still controversy about the nature of the transitions to charge-density wave (CDW) phases, i.e., whether they are described by a Peierls-type mechanism or ...

Observation of charge-transfer-driven antiferroelectricity in 3d-pyrochlore multiferroic Cu2OCl2

Very recently, multiferroic behavior close to the boiling temperature of liquid nitrogen was reported in oxohalide-based Cu2OCl2. In this study, we have established yet another novel mechanism for the origin of charge ordering in multiferroic Cu2OCl2. The ...

Magnetic structure of the S=1Ni(5)(TeO3)(4)Br-2 layered system governed by magnetic anisotropy

Magnetization, neutron diffraction, and antiferromagnetic resonance measurements were employed to investigate the magnetic ground state of Ni-5(TeO3)(4)Br-2 single crystal. Despite the layered topology of the Ni2+ sites, typical for frustrated antiferromag ...

Raman study of the Verwey transition in magnetite at high-pressure and low-temperature: Effect of Al doping

We employed Raman spectroscopy to investigate how the hydrostatic pressure affects the temperature of the Verwey transition in pure (Fe3O4) and Al-doped (Fe2.8Al0.2O4) magnetite. In both samples, pressure suppresses the transition. The Al-doped sample disp ...

Torque magnetometry study of magnetically ordered state and spin reorientation in the quasi-one-dimensional S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet CuSb2O6

The antiferromagnetically ordered state of the monoclinic quasi-one-dimensional S = 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet CuSb2O6 was studied combining torque magnetometry with a phenomenological approach to magnetic anisotropy. This system is known to have a num ...

Anomalous frequency and intensity scaling of collective and local modes in a coupled-spin tetrahedral system Cu2Te2O5Cl2

We report on the magnetic excitation spectrum of the coupled-spin tetrahedral system Cu2Te2O5Cl2 using Raman scattering on single crystals. The transition to an ordered state at T-N(Cl)=18.2 K evidenced from thermodynamic data leads to the evolution of dis ...

Photoemission as a probe of coexisting and conflicting periodicities in low-dimensional solids

Helmuth Berger, Marco Grioni, Luca Perfetti

When two different periodic potentials are present at the same time in a solid, the electron wavefunctions must conform to the resulting overall periodicity. It is the case of the broken-symmetry phases which are often observed in low-dimensional systems. ...
