Based on ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the low-temperature crystal structure of Li2NH which in spite of its great interest as H-storage material is still a matter of debate. The dynamical simulations reveal a precise correlation ...
Strong electron correlation lies at the root of many quantum collective phenomena observed in solids, including high Tc superconductivity. Theoretically, the problem of many interacting electrons is difficult to treat, however, and a microscopic understand ...
We present an experimental study of the two-dimensional S=1/2 square-lattice antiferromagnet Cu(pz)(2)(ClO4)(2) (pz denotes pyrazine-C4H4N2) using specific-heat measurements, neutron diffraction, and cold-neutron spectroscopy. The magnetic field dependence ...
This report is the summary of what has been done for my TP4 project in second semester at "laboratory of quantum magnetism (LQM)" under the supervision Prof.H.Ronnow. This project is the continuation of first semester regarding to measurement of specific h ...
A systematic study was carried out to assess property changes in CaCu3Ti4O12 thin films upon annealing in air in order to evaluate the impact of oxygen vacancies on their colossal dielectric constant behavior. Highly preferentially oriented thin-film sampl ...
VOCI develops magnetic order below T-N=80.3(3) K. Employing single-crystal x-ray diffraction and powder neutron diffraction it is shown that the magnetic phase transition is accompanied by a small, temperature-dependent monoclinic lattice distortion with g ...
Phonon frequency and linewidth as well as quasielastic scattering due to spin energy fluctuations are used to evaluate the evolution of spin correlations in a spin chain system with considerable interchain coupling. In the compound CuSe2O5 these interactio ...
Based on the results of field-dependent dielectric and magnetic measurements, we observe several interesting behaviors and phase transitions in this geometrically frustrated spinel system CdCr2S4. (1) A glassy dipolar state occurs near T-C similar to 85 K, ...
Long needle-shaped single crystals of Zn1-xCoxO were grown at low temperatures using a molten salt solvent technique, up to x=0.10. The conduction process at low temperatures is determined to be Mott variable range hopping. Both pristine and cobalt-doped c ...
We report on magnetization and specific heat measurements on single-crystalline CuTe2O5. The experimental data are directly compared to theoretical results for two different spin structures, namely an alternating spin-chain and a two-dimensional (2D) coupl ...
