Thermal conductivity via magnetic excitations in spin-chain materials
We discuss the recent progress and the current status of experimental investigations of spin-mediated energy transport in spin-chain and spin-ladder materials with antiferromagnetic coupling. We briefly outline the central results of theoretical studies on the subject but focus mainly on recent experimental results that were obtained on materials which may be regarded as adequate physical reali...
متن کاملMagnetic Excitations in Thulium
We have observed, for the first time, magnetic excitations in a single crystal of thulium, using inelastic neutron spectroscopy. In the ferrimagnetic phase three modes with energies around 4 meV, 8 meV and 15 meV were clearly seen. We have considered our results in terms of crystal field level schemes for thulium. The rare earth metal thulium (hcp, electronic configuration 4f12) exhibits a part...
متن کاملElectronic Properties of Topological Materials: Optical Excitations in Möbius Conjugated Polymers
Electronic structures and optical excitations in Möbius conjugated polymers are studied theoretically. Periodic and Möbius boundary conditions are applied to the tight binding model of poly(para-phenylene), taking exciton effects into account. We discuss that oligomers with a few structural units are more effective than polymers for observations of effects of discrete wave numbers that are shif...
متن کاملTopological excitations in a kagome magnet.
Chirality--that is, left or right handedness--is present in many scientific areas, and particularly in condensed matter physics. Inversion symmetry breaking relates chirality with skyrmions, which are protected field configurations with particle-like and topological properties. Here we show that a kagome magnet, with Heisenberg and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, causes non-trivial topologi...
متن کاملPhotonic simulation of topological excitations in metamaterials
Condensed matter systems with topological order and metamaterials with left-handed chirality have attracted recently extensive interests in the fields of physics and optics. So far the topological order and chirality of electromagnetic wave are two independent concepts, and there is no work to address their connection. Here we propose to establish the relation between the topological order in c...
