Experimental observation of short-range magnetic correlations in amorphous Nb2O5 and Ta2O5 thin films
We use muon spin rotation/relaxation/resonance (μSR) to investigate the magnetic properties of niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) and tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) thin films. In both oxides, we observe a magnetic response at the lowest available temperature of 2.8 K ...
Vanishing ordered moment in the frustrated triangular lattice antiferromagnet CuNdO2
The steady decline of neutron imaging (NI) facilities—driven in part by the shutdown of several research reactors—has increased the need to maximize the use of existing infrastructure. In this context, a collaborative effort between PSI-CNM, PSI-NES, and EPFL-LRS has led to the development ...
Exploring 3d systems for quantum spin liquids
Using neutron and muon experiments, a team from South Korea, the USA, the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), and ISIS investigated the structure under ambient conditions and dynamics of a magnetic field-induced intermediate ...
