Sr2IrO4 is a prototype of the class of Mott insulators in the strong spin-orbit interaction (SOI) limit described by a J(eff) = 1/2 ground state. In Sr2IrO4, the strong SOI is predicted to manifest itself in the locking of the canting of the magnetic momen ...
High Cr (9-14% Cr) ferritic/martensitic steels are considered as one of the most promising candidates for structural materials for advanced nuclear power plants. Therefore, the understanding of the evolution of properties under operation conditions is of p ...
Frustrated systems exhibit remarkable properties due to the high degeneracy of their ground states. Stabilised by competing interactions, a rich diversity of typically nanometre-sized phase structures appear in polymer and colloidal systems, while the surf ...
We performed inelastic neutron scattering measurements on single crystals of NdFe3((BO3)-B-11)(4) to explore the magnetic excitations, to establish the underlying Hamiltonian, and to reveal the detailed nature of hybridization between the 4f and 3d magneti ...
Advances in growth technology of oxide materials allow single atomic layer control of heterostructures. In particular delta doping, a key materials' engineering tool in today's semiconductor technology, is now also available for oxides. Here we show that a ...
We report magnetic and thermodynamic properties of a 4d1 (Mo5+) magnetic insulator MoOPO4 single crystal, which realizes a J1−J2 Heisenberg spin-1/2 model on a stacked square lattice. The specific-heat measurements show a magnetic transition at 16 K which ...
We demonstrate the occurrence of compensated spin configurations in Fe clusters and monolayers on Ru(0001) and Rh(111) by a combination of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism experiments, first-principles calculations, and Monte Carlo simulations. Our result ...
We report a single-crystal neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering study on the spin 1/2 cuprate Cu3Bi(SeO3)(2)O2Cl, complemented by dielectric and electric polarization measurements. The study clarifies a number of open issues concerning this ...
Magnetic, electric and mechanical properties can be strongly coupled in multiferroic materials. However, only few models were developed to describe electro-magneto-mechanical coupling effects on them. We report the influence of the strain induced phase tra ...
The anisotropic spin-flip-induced multiferroic property of the Kagome single-crystal Cu3Bi(SeO3)(2)O2Cl was recently investigated. The doping effects on the structural and magnetic properties of Cu3Bi(Se1-xTexO3)(2)O2Cl (0
