Ferrimagnetic 120 degrees magnetic structure in Cu2OSO4

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Ivica Zivkovic, Nicola Casati, Helmuth Berger, Lin Yang, Gregory Scott Tucker, Virgile Yves Favre, Romain Sibille

We report magnetic properties of a 3d(9) (Cu2+) magnetic insulator Cu2OSO4 measured on both powder and single crystal. The magnetic atoms of this compound form layers whose geometry can be described either as a system of chains coupled through dimers or as ...

Direct Observation of Worm‐Like Nanochannels and Emergent Magnon Motifs in Artificial Ferromagnetic Quasicrystals

Dirk Grundler, Sho Watanabe, Vinayak Shantaram Bhat

Quasicrystalline structures and aperiodic metamaterials find applications ranging from established consumer gadgets to potential high‐tech photonic components owing to both complex arrangements of constituents and exotic rotational symmetries. Magnonics is ...

Scale-invariant magnetic anisotropy in RuCl(3)at high magnetic fields

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Maja Deborah Bachmann

Scale-invariant magnetic anisotropy in RuCl(3)has been revealed through measurements of its magnetotropic coefficient, providing evidence for a high degree of exchange frustration that favours the formation of a spin liquid state. In RuCl3, inelastic neutr ...

SrCu2(BO3)(2) under pressure: A first-principles study

Frédéric Mila

Using density-functional theory (DFT) band-structure calculations, we study the crystal structure, lattice dynamics, and magnetic interactions in the Shastry-Sutherland magnet SrCu2(BO3)(2) under pressure, concentrating on experimentally relevant pressures ...

Concentration of Multi-overlaps for Random Dilute Ferromagnetic Spin Models

Nicolas Macris, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier, Chun Lam Chan

We consider mean field ferromagnetic spin models on dilute random graphs and prove that, with suitable one-body infinitesimal perturbations added to the Hamiltonian, the multi-overlaps concentrate for all temperatures, both with respect to the thermal Gibb ...

Annealing and Replica-Symmetry in Deep Boltzmann Machines

Emanuele Mingione, Diego Alberici

In this paper we study the properties of the quenched pressure of a multi-layer spin-glass model (a deep Boltzmann Machine in artificial intelligence jargon) whose pairwise interactions are allowed between spins lying in adjacent layers and not inside the ...

Structural Disorder and Magnetic Order in Atomically Thin Crystals

Michele Pizzochero

This Thesis is mainly devoted to the exploration of the structural disorder and magnetic order in two-dimensional crystals by means of first-principles methodologies. Firstly, we present a comparative study of defect formation in the semiconducting 2H and ...

Spinon confinement and deconfinement in spin-1 chains

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga, Elisabeth Wybo

Motivated by the rich phase diagrams recently unveiled in frustrated spin-1 chains with competing next-nearest-neighbor and four-spin interactions, we investigate the nature of the elementary excitations of spin-1 chains in the vicinity of phase transition ...

Two coupled chains are simpler than one: field-induced chirality in a frustrated spin ladder

Joël Mesot, Shuang Wang

Although the frustrated (zigzag) spin chain is the Drosophila of frustrated magnetism, our understanding of a pair of coupled zigzag chains (frustrated spin ladder) in a magnetic field is still lacking. We address this problem through nuclear magnetic reso ...

Reduction of the sign problem near T=0 in quantum Monte Carlo simulations

Frédéric Mila, Jonathan D'Emidio

Building on a recent investigation of the Shastry-Sutherland model [S. Wessel et al., Phys. Rev. B 98, 174432 (2018)], we develop a general strategy to eliminate the Monte Carlo sign problem near the zero-temperature limit in frustrated quantum spin models ...
