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 …

Magnetoelectric (ME) multiferroics are materials that combine coupled electric and magnetic
dipoles. Studies of ME multiferroics are a time-honored research subject because of their …

Inelastic neutron scattering, susceptibility, and high-field magnetization identify LiCuVO 4 as
a nearest-neighbour ferromagnetic, next-nearest-neighbour frustrated, quasi–one …

Competing ferro-and antiferromagnetic exchange interactions may lead to the formation of
bound magnon pairs in the high-field phase of a frustrated quantum magnet. With …

In the last two decades, significant progress has been made in combining ferroelectricity and
magnetism in the same material. Usually, magnetism and ferroelectricity were thought of as …

Conspectus For most chemists and physicists, electron spin is merely a means needed to
satisfy the Pauli principle in electronic structure description. However, the absolute …

A ferroelectric transition occurring simultaneously with a helical spin order has been found in
both the polycrystalline and single-crystal samples of LiCuVO 4. The system has Cu 2+ …

Polarized and unpolarized neutron scattering experiments on the frustrated ferromagnetic
spin-1/2 chain LiCuVO 4 show that the phase transition at HQ of 8 T is driven by quadrupolar …

Using elastic and inelastic neutron scattering we show that a cubic spinel, CdCr 2 O 4,
undergoes an elongation along the c axis (c> a= b) at its spin-Peierls-like phase transition at …

We report a detailed examination of the magnetic structure of anhydrous cupric chloride
CuCl 2 carried out by powder neutron diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat …
