The magnetic energy levels of a given magnetic solid are closely packed in energy because
the interactions between magnetic ions are weak. Thus, in describing its magnetic …

The discovery of magnetism by the ancient Greeks was enabled by the natural occurrence of
lodestone–a magnetized version of the mineral magnetite. Nowadays, natural minerals …

The magnetic susceptibility, high field magnetization, and specific heat measurements of Cu
3 (CO 3) 2 (OH) 2, which is a model substance for the frustrating diamond spin chain model …

The natural mineral azurite Cu 3 (CO 3) 2 (OH) 2 is a frustrated magnet displaying unusual
and controversially discussed magnetic behavior. Motivated by the lack of a unified …

Ground-state and finite-temperature properties of the mixed spin-and spin-S Ising–
Heisenberg diamond chains are examined within an exact analytical approach based on the …

We present a specific heat and inelastic neutron scattering study in magnetic fields up into
the 1/3 magnetization plateau phase of the diamond chain compound azurite Cu 3 (CO 3) 2 …

The natural mineral azurite Cu 3 (CO 3) 2 (OH) 2 is an interesting spin-1/2 quantum
antiferromagnet. Recently, a generalized diamond chain model has been established as a …

Abstract Azurite (Cu 3 (CO 3) 2 (OH) 2) is a model substance of a diamond spin chain, one
of frustrated antiferromagnetic quantum spin chains. The high field magnetization up to 60 T …

The geometric frustration in a class of the mixed spin-1/2 and spin-S Ising-Heisenberg
diamond chains is investigated by combining three exact analytical techniques: Kambe …

We demonstrate the unique capabilities of the Wigner function, particularly in its positive and
negative parts, for exploring the phase diagram of the spin-(1 2-1 2) and spin-(1 2-1) Ising …
