We studied the magnetic excitations in the quasi-one-dimensional (q-1D) ladder subsystem of Sr14-xCaxCu24O41 (SCCO) using Cu L-3-edge resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). By comparing momentum-resolved RIXS spectra with high (x = 12.2) and without ( ...

Static and dynamic properties of non-collinear quantum antiferromagnets explored by neutron scattering

Luc Testa

This thesis is devoted to the investigation of static and dynamic properties of two different sets of quantum magnets with neutron scattering techniques and the help of linear spin wave theory. Both systems are copper-based with spin-1/2, which makes them ...

Order and dynamics in Kagome like compound Cu2OSO4 and other quantum magnets

Virgile Yves Favre

This thesis presents results of studies of novel compounds modeling complex fundamental physics phenomena. Cu2OSO4 is a copper based magnetic Mott Insulator system, where spin half magnetic moments form a new type of lattice. These intrinsically quantum pi ...

Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study of Ca3Ru2O7

Qian Wang, Thorsten Schmitt, Johan Juul Chang, Claudia Giuseppina Fatuzzo, Yi Tseng

We present a combined oxygen K-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) study of the bilayer ruthenate Ca3Ru2O7. Our RIXS experiments on Ca3Ru2O7 were carried out on the overlapping planar and interplanar oxygen res ...

Wave Vector Difference of Magnetic Bragg Reflections and Low Energy Magnetic Excitations in Charges-tripe Ordered La2NiO4.11

Paul Gregory Freeman

We report on the magnetism of charge-stripe ordered La2NiO4.11 +/- 0.01 by neutron scattering and mu SR. On going towards zero energy transfer there is an observed wave vector offset in the centring of the magnetic excitations and magnetic Bragg reflection ...

This thesis presents a theoretical study of the Heisenberg model on a two dimensional lattice with asymmetric couplings along x and y directions. By gradually varying the coupling along y-direction we traverse the 1D, quasi 1D and 2D domains of this model. ...

Coexisting spinons and magnons in the frustrated zigzag spin-1/2 chain compound beta-TeVO4

Helmuth Berger

We investigate magnetic excitations in the frustrated zigzag spin-1/2 chain compound beta-TeVO4 by inelastic neutron scattering. In the magnetically ordered ground state, the excitation spectrum exhibits coexisting magnon dispersion, characteristic of long ...

Spin dynamics from time-dependent density functional perturbation theory

Iurii Timrov

We present a new method to model spin-wave excitations in magnetic solids, based on the Liouville-Lanczos approach to time-dependent density functional perturbation theory. This method avoids computationally expensive sums over empty states and naturally d ...

Spectroscopic Studies of the Electronic Structure in Layered Cuprates and Ruthenates

Claudia Giuseppina Fatuzzo

In materials where electrons interact strongly, a number of exotic and exciting phenomena arise. The mechanisms at the base of many of these phenomena remain debated, as strongly correlated electron physics represents one of the biggest challenges for mode ...

EPFL2017

Collective magnetic excitations are a fascinating aspect of condensed matter physics, where neutron scattering can provide valuable insight into the magnetic properties of physical realisations of model systems. This thesis focuses on the excitation spectr ...
