Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We investigated the three-dimensional nature of spin fluctuations in the iron-based superconductor
by combining time-of-flight inelastic neutron scattering with DFT-based theoretical modeling. The neutron measurements revealed a clear out-of-plane modulation of the low-energy magnetic intensity, with maxima at odd
positions, indicating robust antiferromagnetic correlations along the
axis. With increasing energy, this modulation gradually disappears, signaling a crossover from three-dimensional to nearly two-dimensional spin dynamics. Calculations based on a realistic three-dimensional electronic structure reproduce both the low-energy
modulation and its energy-dependent suppression. Our itinerant approach, built on a material-specific DFT-derived band structure, captures this three-dimensional-to-two-dimensional crossover without phenomenological tuning, thereby providing a stringent benchmark for realistic electronic-structure models of iron-based superconductors.

We analyze powder-averaged inelastic neutron scattering and magnetization data for the distorted honeycomb compound Cu
SbO
using a first-order dimer expansion calculation and quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We show that, in contrast to the previously proposed honeycomb lattice model, Cu
SbO
accommodates interacting dimerized spin chains with alternating ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic couplings along the chain. Moreover, unlike the typical couplings observed in other Cu
-based distorted honeycomb magnets, the spin chains in Cu
SbO
primarily couple through an antiferromagnetic coupling that arises between the honeycomb layers, rather than the expected interchain coupling in the layers. This finding reveals a different magnetic coupling scheme for Cu
SbO
. In addition, utilizing X-ray spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy, we also refine the crystal structure and stacking-fault model of the compound.

which is the primary order parameter, and a weakly induced
