Tuning confinement potential of spinons in an Ising chain using magnetic fields
The Ising chain realises the fundamental paradigm of spin fractionalization, where locally flipping a spin creates two kinks (spinons) that can separate away at no energy cost,... -
Probing time-reversal-symmetry breaking superconductivity in LaPt3P
Recently, a new family of ternary platinum phosphide superconductors have been synthesised with the chemical formula APt3P (A = Sr, Ca, and La, with Tcs of 8.4, 6.6, and 1.5 K,... -
Spin dynamics in the quantum spin ice state of Yb2Ti2O7
We propose to carry out a muSR study of the spin dynamics in two single crystal samples of Yb2Ti2O7. Both samples are notionally stoichiometric but they have been prepared using... -
Probing the local magnetic structure and magnetic ground states in strongly s...
Strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) has often lead to exotic properties in otherwise banal pool of 'paramagnetic' heavy ion oxides. In this context d4 Ir systems are exciting... -
Tuning the low-temperature magnetism of spin ice Dy2Ti2O7: Y-substitution and...
The spin ice compounds Dy2Ti2O7 and Ho2Ti2O7 have come to enormous attention in the past year with the observation of excitations resembling magnetic monopoles. Here we propose... -
Spin Dynamics in the isotopically enriched spin ice 162Dy2Ti2O7
In an attempt to study the dynamics of Dy2Ti2O7 measured using muons we have made a sample of 162Dy2Ti2O7 where the 161 and 164 isotopes are reduced to a minimum (max. 0.6% of...
