Multi-triplet bound states and finite-temperature dynamics in highly frustrated quantum spin ladders

Low-dimensional quantum magnets at finite temperatures present a complex interplay of quantum and thermal fluctuation effects in a restricted phase space. While some information about dynamical response functions is available from theoretical studies of th ...

Thermodynamic properties of highly frustrated quantum spin ladders: Influence of many-particle bound states

Frédéric Mila, Bruce Normand

Quantum antiferromagnets have proven to be some of the cleanest realizations available for theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies of quantum fluctuation effects. At finite temperatures, however, the additional effects of thermal fluctuations in t ...

Dimensional Reduction in Quantum Dipolar Antiferromagnets

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Martin Mansson, Peter Babkevich, Ivan Kovacevic

We report ac susceptibility, specific heat, and neutron scattering measurements on a dipolar-coupled antiferromagnet LiYbF4. For the thermal transition, the order-parameter critical exponent is found to be 0.20(1) and the specific-heat critical exponent -0 ...

Quantum critical scaling for a Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain around saturation

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Mingee Chung

We demonstrate quantum critical scaling for an S = 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain compound Cu(C4H4N2)(NO3)(2) in a magnetic field around saturation, by analyzing previously reported magnetization [Y. Kono et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 037202 (2015) ...

Nanoporous Materials Can Tune the Critical Point of a Pure Substance

Berend Smit, Efrem Daniel Braun, Sondre Kvalvag Schnell

Molecular simulations and NMR relaxometry experiments demonstrate that pure benzene or xylene confined in isoreticular metal-organic frameworks (IRMOFs) exhibit true vapor-liquid phase equilibria where the effective critical point may be reduced by tuning ...

Dynamical structure factors and excitation modes of the bilayer Heisenberg model

Frédéric Mila, Tommaso Coletta

Using quantum Monte Carlo simulations along with higher-order spin-wave theory, bond-operator and strong-coupling expansions, we analyze the dynamical spin structure factor of the spin-half Heisenberg model on the square-lattice bilayer. We identify distin ...

Unconventional transformation of spin Dirac phase across a topological quantum phase transition

Jan Hugo Dil, Chang Liu

The topology of a topological material can be encoded in its surface states. These surface states can only be removed by a bulk topological quantum phase transition into a trivial phase. Here we use photoemission spectroscopy to image the formation of prot ...

Hamiltonian truncation study of the phi(4) theory in two dimensions

Lorenzo Vitale

We defend the Fock-space Hamiltonian truncation method, which allows us to calculate numerically the spectrum of strongly coupled quantum field theories, by putting them in a finite volume and imposing a UV cutoff. The accuracy of the method is improved vi ...

Neutron spectroscopic study of crystal-field excitations and the effect of the crystal field on dipolar magnetism in LiRF4 (R = Gd, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb)

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Peter Babkevich, Bastien Dalla Piazza, Conradin Kraemer, Ivan Kovacevic

We present a systematic study of the crystal-field interactions in the LiRF4 (R = Gd, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb) family of rare-earth magnets. Using detailed inelastic neutron scattering measurements, we have been able to quantify the transition energies and wave ...
