Lifting the degeneracy of quantum spin liquid phase by uniaxial pressure

Shams Sohel Islam, Zurab Guguchia, Orion Gerguri +13

We report muon spin relaxation/rotation (SR) measurements of the candidate three-dimensional (3D) quantum spin liquid (QSL) PbCuTeO, hosting moments, under contr…

Quantum spin liquid on a 3D bipartite lattice of spin trimers stabilized by enhanced effective anisotropy

M. Gomilšek, L. Mangin-Thro, T. Arh +22

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) represent highly entangled states of matter in which frustration-induced quantum fluctuations suppress any symmetry-breaking phase transition down to ab…

Melting upon cooling in a quantum magnet

K. Jaksetič, T. Arh, M. Pregelj +19

Heating enhances thermal fluctuations and typically leads to melting of solids, but in exceptional cases, heating can also cause liquids to solidify. The paradigm of this counterin…

Magnetic and phononic dynamics in the two-ladder quantum magnet (C5H9NH3)2CuBr4

J. Philippe, F. Elson, T. Arh +20

In quantum magnetic materials it is common to observe both static and dynamic lattice effects on the magnetic excitation spectrum. Less common is to find that the magnetic correlat…

Anharmonic quantum muon effects of light particles in a spin liquid material

Fabian Hotz, Matjaž Gomilšek, Tina Arh +4

The quantum behavior of light nuclei and other particles in materials challenges classical intuition and introduces novel phenomena. Here we demonstrate that muon spin spectroscopy…

Optimized flux single-crystal growth of the quantum spin liquid candidate NdTaO and other rare-earth heptatantalates, ErTaO and GdTaO

Lia Šibav, Matic Lozinšek, Zvonko Jagličić +4

Single crystals are essential for characterizing a wide range of magnetic states, including exotic ones such as quantum spin liquids. This study reports a flux method for growing s…
