We investigate the rare-earth-based frustrated quantum antiferromagnet PrBWO, previously considered a spin-liquid candidate. Our experimental and theoretical analysis reveals that its ground state is better described as a quantum paramagnet, governed by an Ising model in a transverse field. While in-plane correlations exist, the dominant interactions form frustrated triangular spin tubes via competing ferro-antiferromagnetic bonds. The system's thermodynamic and dynamic properties are significantly influenced by hyperfine interactions and weak structural disorder.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We investigate the magnetic structure and magnetoelectric (ME) effect in the high-field phase of the antiferromagnet LiFePO above the critical field of 31 T. A neutron diffraction study in pulsed magnetic fields reveals the propagation vector to be q = 0 for the high-field magnetic structure. In addition, neutron diffraction measurements in low magnetic fields show no observable field-induced spin canting, which indicates negligible Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. The observed spin-flop field supports the Hamiltonian recently deduced from inelastic neutron studies and indicates that the system is less frustrated and with a larger single-ion anisotropy than originally thought. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of combining pulsed-field neutron diffraction and electric polarization measurements to elucidate the magnetic structures and symmetries at the highest attainable field strengths.

被引用回数：17 パーセンタイル：93.61(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Magnon polarons are novel elementary excitations possessing hybrid magnonic and phononic signatures, and are responsible for many exotic spintronic and magnonic phenomena. Despite long-term sustained experimental efforts in chasing for magnon polarons, direct spectroscopic evidence of their existence is hardly observed. Here, we report the direct observation of magnon polarons using neutron spectroscopy on a multiferroic Fe
MoO
possessing strong magnon-phonon coupling. Specifically, below the magnetic ordering temperature, a gap opens at the nominal intersection of the original magnon and phonon bands, leading to two separated magnon-polaron bands. Each of the bands undergoes mixing, interconverting and reversing between its magnonic and phononic components. We attribute the formation of magnon polarons to the strong magnon-phonon coupling induced by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Intriguingly, we find that the band-inverted magnon polarons are topologically nontrivial. These results uncover exotic elementary excitations arising from the magnon-phonon coupling, and offer a new route to topological states by considering hybridizations between different types of fundamental excitations.

被引用回数：40 パーセンタイル：86.10(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We report an inelastic neutron scattering study on the spin resonance in the bilayer iron-based superconductor CaKFe
As. In contrast to its quasi-two-dimensional electron structure, three strongly 
-dependent modes of spin resonance are found below 
= 35 K. The mode energies are below and linearly scale with the total superconducting gaps summed on the nesting hole and electron pockets, essentially in agreement with the results in cuprate and heavy fermion superconductors. This observation supports the sign-reversed Cooper-pairing mechanism under multiple pairing channels and resolves the long-standing puzzles concerning the broadening and dispersive spin resonance peak in iron pnictides. More importantly, the triple resonant modes can be classified into odd and even symmetries with respect to the distance of Fe-Fe planes within the Fe-As bilayer unit. Thus, our results closely resemble those in the bilayer cuprates with nondegenerate spin excitations, suggesting that these two high- superconducting families share a common nature.
