被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Magnetic excitations in the noncentrosymmetric magnet SrMnSiO were investigated through inelastic neutron scattering measurements. Major magnetic excitations are limited up to the energy transfer of 0.5 meV, and two magnon branches under zero magnetic field were well explained in the framework of linear spinwave theory. The magnitudes of the square-lattice in-plane and interplane nearest-neighbor interactions, spin anisotropy term, and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction are, respectively, estimated to be J

= 4.10(1) eV, and calculations using these parameters reproduce experimental data quite well. SrMnSiO appears to have the smallest energy scale among the melilite-type compounds, and the small J/J = 0.0114(2) indicates the strong two dimensionality.

被引用回数：5 パーセンタイル：72.87(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Magnetic, thermodynamic, neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering are used to study spin correlations in the easy-axis XXZ triangular lattice magnet KCo(SeO
). Despite the presence of quasi-2D supersolid magnetic order, the low-energy excitation spectrum contains no sharp modes and is instead a broad and structured multiparticle continuum. Applying a weak magnetic field drives the system into an m = 1/3 fractional magnetization plateau phase and restores sharp spin wave modes. To some extent, the behavior at zero field can be understood in terms of spin wave decay. However, the presence of clear excitation minima at the M points of the Brillouin zone suggest that the spinon language may provide a more adequate description, and signals a possible proximity to a Dirac spin liquid state.

We investigated neutron flux at a sample position and energy resolution of a direct-geometry disk-chopper spectrometer AMATERAS under various chopper conditions and compared them with simulations and calculations. The measured flux was comparable to other similar spectrometers with high flux. The resolution when using a pulse-shaping chopper was in close agreement with the analytical calculations, including the thickness of the disk chopper, the sample size, and the penetration depth into the detector. It is found that the chopper, placed at the intermediate distance of the primary spectrometer, works as a pulse shaper that optimizes the flux and resolution below the incident energy of 10 meV.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：53.15(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Materials manifesting the Kitaev model, characterized by bond-dependent interactions on a honeycomb lattice, can host exotic phenomena like quantum spin liquid states and topological magnetic excitations. However, finding such materials remains a formidable challenge. Here, we report high-resolution inelastic neutron scattering measurements performed on VI, a van der Waals ferromagnetic Mott insulator, covering a wide range of reciprocal space. Our measurements unveil highly anisotropic magnetic excitations in momentum space. Through a comprehensive comparative analysis of various models that incorporate diverse symmetry-allowed magnetic interactions, we find the observed excitations are well captured by a model with a large bond-dependent Kitaev interaction. These results not only help to understand the intriguing properties of VI, such as the pronounced anomalous thermal Hall effects and strong pressure or structure dependence of magnetism, but also open a new avenue for exploring Kitaev physics.

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.

Recent status of cryogenic sample environment equipment at the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) has been reported. We have reviewed the specifications and performance of cryogenic sample environment equipment and a newly installed Gifford-McMahon (GM) cryofurnace, which are mainly managed by the Cryogenic and Magnet group in the sample environment team at the MLF. Moreover, the recent maintenance and update of each piece of equipment, the improved temperature-control function, and the expansion of the usable beamline of the cryogenic sample environment equipment are described.

The instrument control software framework "IROHA2" is used for the neutron and muon experiments at J-PARC MLF. IROHA2 consists of four core software components: i) The device control server controls and monitors devices, ii) the instrument management server authenticates users, manages measurements and configures device combinations, iii) the sequence management server builds and controls automatic measurements, iv) the integrate control server has centralized control over the device monitoring and measurement. Since IROHA2 is equipped with a web user interface, the control system can be accessed remotely using a web browser. MLF's sample environment team developed several device modules of the device control server in order to be able to use the sample environment equipment for automatic measurements. For example, the modules currently used in the experiments are those for 
He and 
He cryostats, superconducting magnets, niobium furnaces, and so on. In this presentation, we will introduce the features of IROHA2 and the functions of the device modules for the sample environment equipment.

The former is crystalline, and the latter is amorphous, where their spin glass state is well separated from magnetically ordered phases. Bose-scaled localized magnetic excitations were observed in both compounds below the spin-freezing temperature (

Above the , the spectrum considerably changes with temperature, thereby indicating the emergence of the magnetic relaxation process. The magnetic excitation in the spin glass state has much in common with the boson peak in structural glasses. We consider that the Bose-scaled broad excitation peak is an elementary excitation inherent in disordered systems.

被引用回数：19 パーセンタイル：94.23(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The magnetization of a quantum magnet can be pinned at a fraction of its saturated value by collective effects. One example of such a plateau phase is found in spin-1/2 triangular-lattice antiferromagnets. They feature strong geometrical frustration and the plateau phase therein is often interpreted as arising from an order-by-disorder mechanism driven by quantum fluctuations. Here we observe a one-third magnetization plateau under an applied magnetic field in the spin-1 antiferromagnet NaNiBiO
with a honeycomb lattice, which, with conventional magnetic interactions, would not be geometrically frustrated. Based on our elastic neutron scattering measurements, we propose the spin structure of the plateau phase to be an unusual partial spin-flop ferrimagnetic order. Our theoretical calculations indicate that bond-anisotropic Kitaev interactions are the source of frustration that produces the plateau. These results suggest that Kitaev interactions provide a different route to frustration and phases driven by quantum fluctuations in high-spin magnets.

被引用回数：4 パーセンタイル：63.17(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We demonstrate and elucidate quantum effects on the honeycomb lattice through comprehensive inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the prototype honeycomb lattice quantum magnet YbCl as a function of applied magnetic field. Examining the spectrum above the saturation field where linear spin-wave theory is essentially exact, we accurately determine the dominant nearest-neighbor Heisenberg interaction. Below the saturation field, we reveal a field-dependent energy renormalization of the entire magnetic spectrum; the sharp spin-wave modes as well as the multimagnon continuum. This renormalization is a quantum effect that can be accurately captured by the first 1=S correction in nonlinear spin-wave theory. Furthermore, we find that the application of a magnetic field induces a qualitatively new sharp feature inside the multimagnon continuum; the lower edge of a specific two-magnon component; which is complementary to the previously observed Van Hove singularity and demonstrates that structures within the multimagnon continuum can occur over a wide experimental parameter space and can be used as an additional means of identifying quantum phenomena.

CEF excitations observed at approximately 7 and 39 meV are consistent with the two inequivalent Ce-ion cites in the chiral structure. Because of broader CEF excitations and a strong 4
peak at the Fermi level in the Ce 4 on-resonance spectrum, the hybridized Ce 4 electrons contribute to the semimetal carriers. In addition, the spin fluctuation associated with the Kramers doublet ground state is characterized by the peak located at 0.15 meV. The electronic state involving the spin fluctuation causes the 
behavior of specific heat below 0.6 K, which is attributed to linear dispersion relations of electrons of the Weyl Kondo semimetal in the chiral-lattice symmetry.

O, that comprises an AlO network incorporated into a hexagonal Ba(Sr) sublattice. Pair distribution function analyses and inelastic neutron scattering experiments provide clear-cut evidence of the AlO network forming a continuum of Al-O short-range correlations similar to glasses, whereas the Ba(Sr) sublattice preserves the original translational symmetry. This glassy network significantly dampens the phonon spectrum and transforms it into the broad one resembling those typically observed in glass materials.

The quasi-elastic scattering has the strongest intensity and the sharp profile around the magnetic transition temperature. From the temperature dependence of the quasi-elastic scattering, the existence of the Z vortex transition is expected in YBaCoO.

イットリウム鉄ガーネットの磁気ブラッグピークに対する超音波注入効果を、準弾性中性子散乱によって研究した。磁気ブラッグピークは、温度の低下とともに大幅に強化さる。エネルギー幅は、超音波注入によって引き起こされる試料温度上昇の平方根に比例して増加した。磁気ブラッグピークは格子振動によって増強されることから、この増強はスピン-格子結合と密接に関連していると予想される。縦波モードで100Kを超えると観測された急激な散乱信号の低下は、スピン-格子結合の劣化を示唆している。これは、温度が100Kを超えるとスピンゼーベック効果が低下することと一致しており、スピン-格子結合による劣化メカニズムに証明を与えている。
