Temperature dependence of the(pi,0)anomaly in the excitation spectrum of the 2D quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Goran Nilsen, Martin Mourigal

It is well established that in the low-temperature limit, the two-dimensional quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice (2DQHAFSL) exhibits an anomaly in its spectrum at short-wavelengths on the zone-boundary. In the vicinity of the (pi, 0) po ...

Probing multi-spinon excitations outside of the two-spinon continuum in the antiferromagnetic spin chain cuprate Sr2CuO3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Thorsten Schmitt, Martin Mourigal

One-dimensional (1D) magnetic insulators have attracted significant interest as a platform for studying quasiparticle fractionalization, quantum criticality, and emergent phenomena. The spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with antiferromagnetic nearest neighbour int ...

Quantum magnets have occupied the fertile ground between many-body theory and low-temperature experiments on real materials since the early days of quantum mechanics. However, our understanding of even deceptively simple systems of interacting spin-1/2 par ...

One of the simplest quantum many-body systems is the spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain, a linear array of interacting magnetic moments. Its exact ground state is a macroscopic singlet entangling all spins in the chain. Its elementary excitations, ...

When viewed as an elementary particle, the electron has spin and charge. When binding to the atomic nucleus, it also acquires an angular momentum quantum number corresponding to the quantized atomic orbital it occupies. Even if electrons in solids form ban ...

Unified one-band Hubbard model for magnetic and electronic spectra of the parent compounds of cuprate superconductors

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Marco Grioni, Thorsten Schmitt, Helmuth Berger, Marco Guarise, Bastien Dalla Piazza, Martin Mourigal

Using low-energy projection of the one-band t-t′-t′′ Hubbard model we derive an effective spin Hamiltonian and its spin-wave expansion to order 1/S. We fit the spin-wave dispersion of several parent compounds to the high-temperature superconducting cuprate ...

Order and Dynamics of Model Quantum Antiferromagnets

Martin Mourigal

The spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnets in one and two dimensions are important models in quantum magnetism in which many-body effects play a crucial role. Their collective excitations are associated with quasiparticles the interaction of which are diffic ...

We have studied the magnetic structure of the ferroelectric frustrated spin-1/2 chain material LiCuVO4 in applied electric and magnetic fields using polarized neutrons. A symmetry and mean-field analysis of the data rules out the presence of static Dzyalos ...

Field-induced decay dynamics in square-lattice antiferromagnets

Martin Mourigal

Dynamical properties of the square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet in applied magnetic field are studied for arbitrary value S of the spin. Above the threshold field for two-particle decays, the standard spin-wave theory yields singular corrections to t ...

Effect of Magnetic Field on Dynamics of Antiferromagnets

Martin Mourigal

Motivated by synthesis of new antiferromagnetic compounds with weak exchange coupling, a study of high magnetic field properties of the Heisenberg model on a square-lattice is undertaken here. Ordered spins at zero temperature cant toward the field directi ...
