Topological magnon band structure of emergent Landau levels in a skyrmion lattice

The motion of a spin excitation across topologically nontrivial magnetic order exhibits a deflection that is analogous to the effect of the Lorentz force on an electrically charged particle in an orbital magnetic field. We used polarized inelastic neutron ...

Revealing three-dimensional quantum criticality by Sr substitution in Han purple

Frédéric Mila, Bruce Normand, Christian Rüegg, Gregory Scott Tucker

Classical and quantum phase transitions (QPTs), with their accompanying concepts of criticality and universality, are a cornerstone of statistical thermodynamics. An excellent example of a controlled QPT is the field-induced ordering of a gapped quantum ma ...

Multiple Magnetic Bilayers and Unconventional Criticality without Frustration in BaCuSi2O6

Frédéric Mila, Bruce Normand, Gregory Scott Tucker, Christian Rüegg, Nicolas Laflorencie

The dimerized quantum magnet BaCuSi2O6 was proposed as an example of "dimensional reduction" arising near the magnetic-field-induced quantum critical point (QCP) due to perfect geometrical frustration of its interbilayer interactions. We demonstrate by hig ...

Multiphase magnetism in Yb2Ti2O7

Gregory Scott Tucker

We use neutron scattering to show that ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism coexist in the low T state of the pyrochlore quantum magnet Yb2Ti2O7. While magnetic Bragg peaks evidence long-range static ferromagnetic order, inelastic scattering shows that sh ...

Energy domain versus time domain precursor fluctuations above the Verwey transition in magnetite

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Fabrizio Carbone, Gregory Scott Tucker, Simone Borroni

We study the dynamics and interactions of the critical fluctuations of the Verwey transition in magnetite (Fe3O4) in the pretransition region by means of inelastic neutron scattering experiments on a natural single crystal. We find that a Delta(5) mode int ...

Metastable and localized Ising magnetism in alpha-CoV2O6 magnetization plateaus

Gregory Scott Tucker

alpha-CoV2O6 consists of j(eff) = 1/2 Ising to investigate the magnetic periodicity in the vicinity of these plateaus. We find these steps to be characterized by metastable and spatially short-range (xi similar to 10 angstrom) magnetic correlations with an ...

Ferrimagnetic 120 degrees magnetic structure in Cu2OSO4

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Ivica Zivkovic, Helmuth Berger, Nicola Casati, Lin Yang, Gregory Scott Tucker, Virgile Yves Favre, Romain Sibille

We report magnetic properties of a 3d(9) (Cu2+) magnetic insulator Cu2OSO4 measured on both powder and single crystal. The magnetic atoms of this compound form layers whose geometry can be described either as a system of chains coupled through dimers or as ...

Tomonaga-Luttinger Liquid Spin Dynamics in the Quasi-One-Dimensional Ising-Like Antiferromagnet BaCo2V2O8

Martin Mansson, Christian Rüegg, Jonathan White, Gregory Scott Tucker, Thierry Giamarchi

Combining inelastic neutron scattering and numerical simulations, we study the quasi-one-dimensional Ising anisotropic quantum antiferromagnet BaCo2V2O8 in a longitudinal magnetic field. This material shows a quantum phase transition from a Neel ordered ph ...

Non-reciprocal magnons in non-centrosymmetric MnSi

Thomas Alois Weber, Gregory Scott Tucker

Using two cold-neutron triple-axis spectrometers we have succeeded in fully mapping out the field-dependent evolution of the non-reciprocal magnon dispersion relations in all magnetic phases of MnSi. The non-reciprocal nature of the dispersion manifests it ...
