Quantum critical scaling

The study of quantum matter has become a great part of modern physics research. Quantum criticality appears in the vicinity of a quantum critical point where there is an interplay between quantum and thermal fluctuations. In the quantum critical region, ’e ...

Universality of jamming of nonspherical particles

Matthieu Wyart, Carolina Brito Carvalho dos Santos

Amorphous packings of nonspherical particles such as ellipsoids and spherocylinders are known to be hypostatic: The number of mechanical contacts between particles is smaller than the number of degrees of freedom, thus violating Maxwell's mechanical stabil ...

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 ...

Light scattering from the critical modes of the Verwey transition in magnetite

Fabrizio Carbone, Simone Borroni

We present inelastic light scattering data on a single crystal of magnetite (Fe3O4) across the Verwey transition. We identify anomalies of the lattice vibrations that originate from strong coupling to electronic excitations. We reveal spectroscopic signatu ...

Single-step conversion of lignin monomers to phenol: Bridging the gap between lignin and high-value chemicals

Paul Joseph Dyson, Ning Yan

Transformation of lignin into high-value chemicals is hampered by the complexity of monomers obtained from lignin depolymerization. Here we report a strategy, composed of hydro-demethoxylation and de-alkylation reactions, that is able to chemically converg ...

Singlet state formation and its impact on the magnetic structure in the tetramer system SeCuO3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Ivica Zivkovic, Helmuth Berger, Krunoslav Prsa, Peter Babkevich

We present an experimental investigation of the magnetic structure in a tetramer system SeCuO3 using neutron powder-diffraction and nuclear resonance techniques. We establish a commensurate antiferromagnetic ordering with a propagation vector k = (0, 0, 1) ...
