A microscopic characterisation of the phase transitions associated with colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in manganese perovskite oxides is a very important ingredient in the quest of understanding its underlying mechanism. Scanning tunneling microscopy (ST ...
The excitation spectrum of a model magnetic system, LiHoF4, was studied with the use of neutron spectroscopy as the system was tuned to its quantum critical point by an applied magnetic field. The electronic mode softening expected for a quantum phase tran ...
Neutron scattering studies on powder and single crystals have provided new evidence for unconventional magnetism in Cu2Te2O5Cl2. The compound is built from tetrahedral clusters of S=1/2 Cu2+ spins located on a tetragonal lattice. Magnetic ordering, emergin ...
We have discovered that a recently reported weak excitation branch in the spin-Peierls material CuGeO3 is in fact a ghost image of the primary magnetic excitation shifted in reciprocal space by a novel multiple scattering process. A model is developed that ...
Inelastic neutron scattering, susceptibility, and high-field magnetization identify LiCuVO4 as a nearest-neighbour ferromagnetic, next-nearest-neighbour frustrated, quasi-one-dimensional helimagnet, which is largely influenced by quantum fluctuations. Comp ...
One important area of modern condensed matter research is the investigation of the nature of the superconducting cuprates. Much progress in this field has been obtained with the technique of neutron scattering. We here present a review of neutron scatterin ...
We study the effect of a magnetic field (applied along the c axis) on the low-energy, incommensurate magnetic fluctuations in superconducting La1.82Sr0.18CuO4. The incommensurate peaks at 9 meV, which in zero field were previously shown to sharpen in q on ...
This article discusses neutron scattering measurements on the cuprate, high transition temperature superconductor La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) in an applied magnetic field. LSCO is a type-II superconductor and magnetic flux can penetrate the material via the format ...
We present an inelastic neutron scattering study of the spin dynamics in the mixed phase of the high-T-c superconductor La2-xSrxCuO4, In the overdoped regime (x = 0. 17, T-c = 37 K) the application of a magnetic field induces a spectral weight redistributi ...
Using a fermiology approach to the computation of the magnetic susceptibility measured by neutron scattering in hole-doped high-T-c superconductors, we estimate the effects on the incommensurate peaks caused by higher d-wave harmonics of the superconductin ...
