In a number of recent experiments on the pure CeB6 compound, we have revealed strong quasielastic inten-sity in the normal (paramagnetic) state with a rich momentum-space... -
Dimensional Reduction and Frustration in the 2D Quantum Dimer Magnet BaCuSi2O6
For a decade field-tuned quantum criticality in the spin-dimer system BaCuSi2O6 has been of great interest due to an unconventional dimensional crossover at its quantum critical... -
Non-magnetic impurities in a strong-leg spin ladder
Th S = ½ AF spin ladder is one of the most important models in quantum magnetism. While its properties throughout the (H,T)-phase diagram may be considered to be well understood... -
