Field tunable spin density wave phases in Sr3Ru2O7
C. Lester, S. Ramos, R. S. Perry +7
The conduction electrons in a metal experience competing interactions with each other and the atomic nuclei. This competition can lead to many types of magnetic order in metals. Fo…
Dispersive Spin Fluctuations in the near optimally-doped superconductor Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 (=0.065)
C. Lester, Jiun-Haw Chu, J. G. Analytis +3
Inelastic neutron scattering is used to probe the collective spin excitations of the near optimally-doped superconductor Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 (=0.065). Previous measurements on the…
A polarized neutron diffraction study of the field-induced magnetization in the normal and superconducting states of Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 (x=0.65)
C. Lester, Jiun-Haw Chu, J. G. Analytis +3
We use polarised neutron diffraction to study the induced magnetization density of near optimally doped Ba(Fe0.935Co0.065)2As2 (T_C=24 K) as a function of magnetic field (1<H<9 T)…
Magnetic-field-controlled spin fluctuations and quantum criticality in Sr3Ru2O7
C. Lester, S. Ramos, R. S. Perry +8
When the transition temperature of a continuous phase transition is tuned to absolute zero, new ordered phases and physical behaviour emerge in the vicinity of the resulting quantu…
A neutron scattering study of the interplay between structure and magnetism in Ba(FeCo)As
C. Lester, Jiun-Haw Chu, J. G. Analytis +6
Single crystal neutron diffraction is used to investigate the magnetic and structural phase diagram of the electron doped superconductor Ba(FeCo)As. Heat capaci…
Polarized neutron scattering studies of magnetic excitations in electron-overdoped superconducting BaFeNiAs
Mengshu Liu, C. Lester, Jiri Kulda +5
We use polarized inelastic neutron scattering to study low-energy spin excitations and their spatial anisotropy in electron-overdoped superconducting BaFeNiAs$_{2…
Critical Doping for the Onset of Fermi-Surface Reconstruction by Charge-Density-Wave Order in the Cuprate Superconductor LaSrCuO
S. Badoux, S. A. A. Afshar, B. Michon +11
The Seebeck coefficient of the cuprate superconductor LaSrCuO (LSCO) was measured in magnetic fields large enough to access the normal state at low temp…
Charge density wave fluctuations in La2-xSrxCuO4 and their competition with superconductivity
T. P. Croft, C. Lester, M. S. Senn +2
We report hard (14 keV) x-ray diffraction measurements on three compositions (x=0.11,0.12,0.13) of the high-temperature superconductor La2-xSrxCuO4. All samples show charge-density…
