Spin Wave Dispersion in BaFe2As2
Understanding the magnetic exchange coupling and fundamental Hamiltonian of the parent compound of FeAs-based superconductors is extremely important, because such information... -
The effect of a vanishing pseudogap on the magnetic excitations in overdoped ...
One of the major issues in high temperature superconductivity is the nature of the so called pseudogap phase. A related question is whether the pseudogap controls the evolution... -
Paramagnetic excitations in BaFe2As2 at high temperature
One fundamental issue in the iron-based superconductors is whether the conventional local moment Heisenberg model is sufficient to describe magnetism in these materials, or... -
