Crystal structure and absence of magnetic order in single crystalline RuO

Lara Kiefer, Felix Wirth, Alexandre Bertin +7

RuO was considered for a long time to be a paramagnetic metal with an ideal rutile-type structure down to low temperatures, but recent studies on single-crystals claimed eviden…

Direct evidence for anisotropic magnetic interaction in -RuCl from polarized inelastic neutron scattering

Markus Braden, Xiao Wang, Alexandre Bertin +2

Polarized neutron scattering experiments reveal the anisotropy of magnetic correlations in the candidate Kitaev material -RuCl. The anisotropy of the inelastic response at t…
