Probing spin correlations with phonons in the strongly frustrated magnet ZnCr2O4.
The spin-lattice coupling plays an important role in strongly frustrated magnets. In ZnCr2O4, an excellent realization of the Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the pyrochlore network, a lattice distortion relieves the geometrical frustration through a spin-Peierls-like phase transition at T(c)=12.5 K. Conversely, spin correlations strongly influence the elastic properties of a frustrated magnet. By...
متن کاملProbing two-subband systems in a quantizing magnetic field with non-equilibrium phonons
We propose to use phonon absorption spectroscopy to study many-body gaps and phases of two-subband heterostructures in the quantum Hall regime. Implications of the spinorbit interaction for phonon absorption in this system are considered. Phonon spectroscopy is a powerful experimental technique that has been successfully used in the study of the properties of a two-dimensional (2D) electron gas...
متن کاملPlutonium problems.
Contaminants in Fish From the icy waters of Boston Harbor to the warm waves of San Diego Bay, bottomdwelling fish suffer liver damage caused by chemical contaminants, according to researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. But seafood lovers need not panic, because damaged specimens were captured primarily in urban waters where commercial fishing is prohibited, said Lyn...
متن کاملLung fibrosis in plutonium workers.
There have been few systematic studies of the non-malignant health effects of alpha-particle radiation in humans. Animal studies and a report on plutonium-exposed workers from Russia suggest an association between high doses to the lung from plutonium exposure and the development of fibrotic lung disease. Prompted by a case of lung fibrosis in a retired plutonium worker, we tested the hypothesi...
متن کاملPhonons in Nanocrystalline 57Fe
We measured the phonon density of states (DOS) of nanocrystalline Fe by resonant inelastic nuclear g-ray scattering. The nanophase material shows large distortions in its phonon DOS. We attribute the high energy distortion to lifetime broadening. A damped harmonic oscillator model for the phonons provides a low quality factor, Qu, averaging about 5, but the longitudinal modes may have been broa...
