Assessment of the RE(OH)3 Ising-like Magnetic Materials as Possible Candidates for the Study of Transverse-Field-Induced Quantum Phase Transitions

Pawel Stasiak, Michel J. P. Gingras

The LiHo${}_x$Y${}_{1-x}$F${}_4$ Ising magnetic material subject to a magnetic field, $B_x$, perpendicular to the Ho${}^{3+}$ Ising direction has shown over the past twenty years to be a h…
