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

Helmuth Berger

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 ...
