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... -
Anomalous lattice dynamics of the elemental superconductor niobium
Phonon lifetimes in BCS superconductors provide information on the details of the electron-phonon coupling mechanism. In 2008 high-resolution neutron inelastic scattering... -
Unveiling the exotic quantum critical point in CeCu6-xAgx
The heavy fermion system CeCu6-xAux is arguably the most important (and studied) heavy fermion series which exhibits a quantum critical point. In recent years several new... -
What is the cause for the gapped mode in the `BEC' phase of DTN?
Arguably the most-famous quantum phase transition is the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of magnons. It can be studied experimentally in gapped quantum paramagnets when an... -
High-Energy Solitary Magnons in CaFe2O4:
We have recently discovered solitary magnons in the classical magnet CaFe2O4 below 3 meV. in this experiment we propose to extend this to higher energy transfers to track how...
