Magnetic excitation spectrum of a potential spin liquid candidate
PbCuTe2O6 consists of a 3-dimensional arrangement of spin-1/2 Cu ions. There are 3 potentially strong interactions, the first neighbor interaction couples the magnetic ions into... -
Spin anisotropy of Seff=1/2 triangular rare-earth based antiferromagnets
The rise of quantum materials observed in the past decades has been a source of great excitement for condensed matter scientists, with the flourishing of new concepts and... -
Crystal symmetry change at the magnetic transition in MnB and FeB compounds p...
The "magnetocaloric effect" (MCE) is based on the entropy difference encountered when themagnetic state of a material is changed and it can be used for refrigeration. However,... -
Hydrogen production from ammonia using lithium imide: an isotope study
We have recently discovered that light metal amides and imides are excellent cattalysts for the decomposition of ammonia. We request 3 days on POLARIS to perform in situ neutron... -
