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 ...

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Peter Babkevich, Bastien Dalla Piazza, Julian Piatek, Neda Nikseresht Ghanepour, Conradin Kraemer, Ivan Kovacevic

We present a systematic study of the phase diagram of LiHoxY1-xF4 (0.25

Probing Entangled States of the Nuclear-Electronic Quantum Magnet LiHoF₄

Ivan Kovacevic

Two objects are entangled when their quantum mechanical wavefunctions cannot be written in a separable product form. Entangling dissimilar quantum objects, or hybridization, has been suggested as a promising route to efficient quantum information processor ...

Probing strongly hybridized nuclear-electronic states in a model quantum ferromagnet

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Giovanni Boero, Peter Babkevich, Julian Piatek, Ivan Kovacevic

We present direct local-probe evidence for strongly hybridized nuclear-electronic spin states of an Ising ferromagnet LiHoF4 in a transverse magnetic field. The nuclear-electronic states are addressed via a magnetic resonance in the GHz frequency range usi ...

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 ...

Nonequilibrium hysteresis and spin relaxation in the mixed-anisotropy dipolar-coupled spin-glass LiHo0.5Er0.5F4

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Peter Babkevich, Bastien Dalla Piazza, Julian Piatek, Ivan Kovacevic, Stephen Paul Neithardt

We present a study of the model spin-glass LiHo0.5Er0.5F4 using simultaneous ac susceptibility, magnetization, and magnetocaloric effect measurements along with small angle neutron scattering ( SANS) at sub-Kelvin temperatures. All measured bulk quantities ...
