Terahertz Magneto-optical investigation of quadrupolar spin-lattice effects in magnetically frustrated Tb2Ti2O7
K. Amelin, Y. Alexanian, U. Nagel +9
The significance of spin-lattice coupling in the phase diagram of the quantum spin-icepyrochlore Tb2Ti2O7 has been a topic of debate for some time. Here, we focus on the aspect of…
The effect of local distortions on magnetic and magnetoelectric properties of paramagnetic Pr3Ga5SiO14 langasite
A. Tikhanovskii, V. Yu. Ivanov, A. Kuzmenko +3
Magnetic field-induced electric polarization has been observed in trigonal non-centrosymmetric paramagnetic Pr3Ga5SiO14 langasite. We detected quadratic electric polarization along…
Unusual magnetoelectric effect in paramagnetic rare-earth langasite
L. Weymann, L. Bergen, Th. Kain +13
Violation of time reversal and spatial inversion symmetries has profound consequences for elementary particles and cosmology. Spontaneous breaking of these symmetries at phase tran…
Effects of Ca substitution on quasi-acoustic sliding modes in SrCaCuO
E. Constable, A. D. Squires, J. Horvat +8
The low energy lattice dynamics of the quasi-periodic spin-ladder cuprate SrCaCuO are investigated using terahertz frequency synchrotron radiation. A hig…
Infrared phonon anomaly and magnetic excitations in single-crystal CuBi(SeO)OCl
K. H. Miller, P. W. Stephens, C. Martin +5
Infrared reflection and transmission as a function of temperature have been measured on single crystals of CuBi(SeO)OCl. The complex dielectric function and…
Field-induced double spin spiral in a frustrated chiral magnet
M. Ramakrishnan, E. Constable, A. Cano +14
We report the direct observation of a magnetic-feld induced long-wavelength spin spiral modulation in the chiral compound Ba3TaFe3Si2O14. This new spin texture emerges out of a chi…
Resolving the local distortions of Ising-like moments in magnetoelectric Ho-doped langasite
A. Yu. Tikhanovskii, V. Yu. Ivanov, A. M. Kuzmenko +9
The magnetic properties of Ho-doped langasites (La:Ho)GaSiO are dominated by the Ising-like magnetic moments of the Ho ions. In their saturated regime, the in…
Proceedings of the 35th Annual Australian/New Zealand Condensed Matter and Materials Meeting
K. Radhanpura, S. Hargreaves, R. A. Lewis +42
The 35th Australian/New Zealand Annual Condensed Matter and Materials Meeting was held at the Charles Sturt University campus in Wagga Wagga, NSW, Australia from the 1st to the 4th…
Magnetic and dielectric order in the kagome-like francisite CuBi(SeO)OCl
E. Constable, S. Raymond, S. Petit +8
We report a single-crystal neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering study on the spin 1/2 cuprate CuBi(SeO)OCl, complemented by dielectric and electric…
Double Vibronic process in the quantum spin ice candidate TbTiO revealed by terahertz spectroscopy
E. Constable, R. Ballou, J. Robert +8
The origin of quantum fluctuations responsible for the spin liquid state in TbTiO has remained a long standing problem. By synchrotron-based terahertz measurements, we…
