Field induced spin Luttinger liquid phase in a spin ladder
Spin ladders present a class of low-dimensional quantum magnets that occupy a regime of rather subtle behavior which lies between the stark extremes of a one-dimensional chain... -
An ALC study of the organic ferroelectrics TTF-CA and TTF-BA
The study of organic ferroelectrics based on mixed-stack charge-transfer salts is currently a rapidly developing research field. These materials attract interest as highly... -
Investigating the effect of magnetic impurities on ALC resonances
This proposal aims to investigate the effect of magnetic impurities on the ALC resonance amplitude of an organic semiconductor (RRa-P3HT), to determine whether the effect can be... -
Investigation of charge transfer in P3HT:PCBM under the condition of photoexc...
Alternative energy sources such as solar cells demand is rapidly increasing due to the limited amount of fossil fuels that exist and the rising amount of CO2 in the environment.... -
