Spin correlations in the paramagnetic phase and ring exchange in La2CuO4.

چکیده
Spin correlations in the paramagnetic phase of La(2)CuO(4) have been studied using polarized neutron scattering, with two important results. First, the temperature dependence of the characteristic energy scale of the fluctuations and the amplitude of the neutron structure factor are shown to be in quantitative agreement with the predictions of the quantum nonlinear sigma model. Second, a comparison of a high-temperature series expansion of the equal-time spin correlations with the diffuse neutron intensity provides definitive experimental evidence for ring exchange.

Magnetic correlations in all four phases of pure and doped vanadium sesquioxide (V2O3) have been examined by magnetic thermal-neutron scattering. Specifically, we have studied the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases of metallic V22yO3 , the antiferromagnetic insulating and paramagnetic metallic phases of stoichiometric V2O3 , and the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases of insulating...
متن کاملSpin waves and electronic interactions in La2CuO4.
The magnetic excitations of the square-lattice spin-1/2 antiferromagnet and high- T(c) parent compound La2CuO4 are determined using high-resolution inelastic neutron scattering. Sharp spin waves with absolute intensities in agreement with theory including quantum corrections are found throughout the Brillouin zone. The observed dispersion relation shows evidence for substantial interactions bey...

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, also known as Electron Spin Resonance(ESR) especially among physicists, is a strong and versatile spectroscopic method forinvestigation of paramagnetic systems, i.e. systems like free radicals and most transition metalions, which have unpaired electrons. The sensitivity and selectivity of EPR are notable andintriguing as compared to other spec...
متن کاملClassical Ring - exchange Processes on the Triangular Lattice ⋆
The effects of the ring-exchange Hamiltonian H3 = J3 ∑ 〈ijk〉(Si · Sj)(Si · Sk) on the triangular lattice are studied using classical Monte Carlo simulations. Each spin Si is treated as a classical XY spin taking on Q equally spaced angles (Q-states clock model). For Q = 6, a first-order transition into a stripe-ordered phase preempts the macroscopic classical degeneracy. For Q > 6, a finite win...
