چکیده

We report inelastic and elastic neutron scattering, magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity measurements for polycrystalline sodium ruthenate (Na(3)RuO(4)). Previous work suggests that this material consists of isolated tetramers of S = 3/2  Ru(5+) ions in a so-called lozenge configuration. Comparisons of magnetic susceptibility and inelastic and elastic neutron scattering results with analytic calculations for several cluster models show that although there may be significant spin-spin correlations within the lozenge cluster, a simple isolated lozenge model is not appropriate for Na(3)RuO(4).

Possible f - wave superconductivity in Sr 2 RuO 4 ?

– Until recently it has been believed that the superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 is described by p-wave pairing. However, both the recent specific heat and the magnetic penetration depth measurements on the purest single crystals of Sr2RuO4 appear to be explained more consistently in terms of f-wave superconductivity. In order to further this hypothesis, we study theoretically the thermodynamics and...

The Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the square-kagomé lattice

We discuss the ground state, the low-lying excitations as well as high-field thermodynamics of the Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the two-dimensional square-kagomé lattice. This magnetic system belongs to the class of highly frustrated spin systems with an infinite non-trivial degeneracy of the classical ground state as it is also known for the Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the kagomé and on the...

Spin - 12 quantum antiferromagnets on the triangular latticeP

The spin-1 2 anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet is studied at T = 0 on the triangular lattice via numerical diagonalization for system sizes up to N = 36 sites. Extrapolation to the thermodynamic limit suggests that the isotropic system possesses no, or very small, p 3 p 3 magnetic order; no helical or chiral order; and spin-spin correlations consistent with that of a critical phase. For XY...

Confinement-deconfinement transition as an indication of spin-liquid-type behavior in Na(2)IrO(3).

We use ultrafast optical spectroscopy to observe binding of charged single-particle excitations (SE) in the magnetically frustrated Mott insulator Na(2)IrO(3). Above the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature (T(N)) the system response is due to both Hubbard excitons (HE) and their constituent unpaired SE. The SE response becomes strongly suppressed immediately below T(N). We argue that this in...

Nonperturbative approach to Yang-Mills thermodynamics

An analytical and nonperturbative approach to SU(2) and SU(3) Yang-Mills thermodynamics is developed and applied. Each theory comes in three phases: A deconfining, a preconfining, and a confining one. We show how macroscopic and inert scalar fields form in each phase and how they determine the ground-state physics and the properties of the excitations. While the excitations in the deconfining a...
