Spin-lozenge thermodynamics and magnetic excitations in Na(3)RuO(4).
We report inelastic and elastic neutron scattering, magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity measurements for polycrystalline sodium ruthenate (Na(3)RuO(4)). Previous work suggests that this material consists of isolated tetramers of S = 3/2 Ru(5+) ions in a so-called lozenge configuration. Comparisons of magnetic susceptibility and inelastic and elastic neutron scattering results with analy...
متن کاملBiCu 2 VO 6 : a new narrow - band spin - gap material
– A new spin-ladder family material BiCu2VO6 is studied by means of the magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity and neutron inelastic scattering measurements on powder sample. Singlet ground state and a finite spin gap are confirmed by thermal-activated type susceptibility and by distinct peak at 16 meV in spin excitation. Triple narrow band structure in spin excitation spectrum, probably due to...
متن کاملSpin-wave dispersion in magnetostrictive Fe-Ga alloys: Inelastic neutron scattering measurements
Fe-Ga alloys of appropriate Ga concentration and heat treatment show a very large enhancement in the tetragonal magnetostriction over that of pure α-Fe [λ100(Fe-Ga)∼15λ100(Fe)]. In order to gain further understanding of the extraordinary magnetoelastic characteristics of this system, the spin dynamics of two of these alloys, Fe1−xGax (x=0.160 and 0.225), were studied using inelastic neutron sca...
متن کاملUniversal magnetic excitation spectrum in cuprates
Wehave recently used inelastic neutron scattering to measure themagnetic excitation spectrum of La1.875Ba0.125CuO4 up to 200 meV. This particular cuprate is of interest because it exhibits static charge and spin stripe order. The observed spectrum is remarkably similar to that found in superconducting YBa2Cu3O6+x and La2−xSrxCuO4; the main differences are associated with the spin gap. We sugges...
متن کاملThe Ground State of the Spin-12 Kagomé Lattice Antiferromagnet: Neutron Scattering Studies of the Zinc-Paratacamite Mineral Family
The magnetic properties of the geometrically frustrated quantum magnets clinoatacamite, Cu2(OH)3Cl, and herbertsmithite, ZnCu3(OH)6Cl2, are studied by means of neutron scattering measurements as well as specific heat, susceptibility, and magnetization measurements. These materials are studied to investigate the nature of the ground state of the spin2 kagomé lattice antiferromagnet, as such a sy...
