The incommensurate magnetic soliton lattice in the high-field phase of a spin-Peierls system results from quantum fluctuations. We have used neutron scattering techniques to study CuGeO3, allowing us to obtain the first complete characterization of the exc ...
Using a first-principles approach, we study the vibrational properties of vitreous SiO2 which are measured in neutron-scattering experiments. We adopt a model structure consisting of corner-sharing tetrahedra, which was previously generated using first-pri ...
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 ...
CuGeO3 is a good realization of a spin-Peierls system. Using neutron scattering, we have investigated the transition from the dimerized spin-Peierls phase to an incommensurately modulated high-field phase. The incommensurate period has been measured for fi ...
The magnetic resonance at 41 meV observed in neutron scattering studies of YBa2Cu3O7 holds a key position in the understanding of high-T-c, superconductivity. Within the SO(5) model for superconductivity and antiferromagnetism, we have calculated the effec ...
Third harmonic generation (THG) efficiency is shown to be a greatly enhanced at the onset of inelastic scattering of electrons on optic phonons. Scaling experiments are performed on n-type InP at the pump wave frequency of 9.43 GHz at 80 K. Monte Carlo mod ...
Small angle neutron scattering experiments have been undertaken on the tempered martensitic steel EUROFER97 after proton irradiation at 250 and 350 degreesC and for doses of 0.3 and 1 dpa. It has been qualitatively shown that the scattering arises from dis ...
We will review recent results obtained by longitudinal polarization analysis and spherical neutron polarimetry (SNP) on typical low-dimensional strongly correlated electronic systems (spin-Peierls CuGeo(3), high-T-c La0.85Sr0.15CuO4 and YBa2CU3O6+x, or spi ...
The angular distributions of the differential cross-sections for scattering of 14.1 MeV neutrons to the Q = 0, – 1.74, – 2.15, – 3.58, – 4.77, – (5.11 + 5.16 + 5.18), – (5.92 + 6.04 + 6.13), – 6.56 and – (6.88 + 7.0) MeV levels of 10B have been measured fo ...
We will review recent results obtained by longitudinal polarization analysis (LPA) and spherical neutron polarimetry (SNP) on typical "low-dimensional" strongly correlated electronic systems (spin-Peierls CuGeO3, High-T-c YBa2Cu3O6+x...), which all demonst ...
