Crystal electric field (CEF) effects in heavy fermion system YbRh3Si7
We studied a new metamagnetic heavy-fermion (HF) compound YbRh3 Si7, synthesized for the first time. This is the first HF compound in the ScRh3Si7 family, for which the only... -
PROTON DYNAMICS IN ALKYLAMMONIUM NITRATE IONIC LIQUIDS
Ionic liquids are of interest to chemistry and material sciences because of their designer properties. Protonated ionic liquids are excellent proton carriers in fuel cell... -
Spin dynamics of the Mn12 prototype nanomagnet fully unravelled by 4-dimensio...
Mn12, with an anisotropy barrier close to 65 K, has been for 20 years a prototype nanomagnet, but in spite of a number of investigations the actual link between the value of the... -
Magnetic coupling-scheme of {Cr10} wheels with S=9 ground state
Molecular magnetic wheels are models systems for the study of quantum coherence, finite-size effects and have been proposed as possible candidates for quantum bits. While AF... -
High frequency spin-fluctuations is single crystal beta-Mn(Co)
beta-Mn metal is a good example of metal close to a magnetic/non-magnetic instability. It doesn't order magnetically at any temperature, and yet has a large Somerfeld constant,... -
