High field magnetization of FePS3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Diane Virginie Marie Lançon

High field magnetization measurements in pulsed fields up to 65 T have been performed on FePS3, which is nominally a good example of a two-dimensional Ising-like antiferromagnet on a honeycomb lattice. Measurements with the field parallel to the moment dir ...

Evidence for biquadratic exchange in the quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet FePS3

Diane Virginie Marie Lançon

FePS3 is a van der Waals compound with a honeycomb lattice that is a good example of a two-dimensional antiferromagnet with Ising-like anisotropy. Neutron spectroscopy data from FePS3 were previously analyzed using a straightforward Heisenberg Hamiltonian ...

Magnetic exchange parameters and anisotropy of the quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet NiPS3

Diane Virginie Marie Lançon

Neutron inelastic scattering has been used to measure the magnetic excitations in powdered NiPS3, a quasitwo-dimensional antiferromagnet with spin S = 1 on a honeycomb lattice. The spectra show clear, dispersive magnons with a similar to 7 meV gap at the B ...

Magnetic excitations from the two-dimensional interpenetrating Cu framework in Ba2Cu3O4Cl2

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Diane Virginie Marie Lançon, Mechthild Enderle, Peter Babkevich, Noore Elahi Shaik

We report detailed neutron scattering studies on Ba2Cu3O4Cl2. The compound consists of two interpenetrating sublattices of Cu, labeled as Cu-A and Cu-B, each of which forms a square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet. The two sublattices order at different ...

Neutron spectroscopy in the layered quantum magnet SrCu₂(BO₃)₂ and in transition metal phosphorus trisulfides (MPS₃)

Diane Virginie Marie Lançon

Collective magnetic excitations are a fascinating aspect of condensed matter physics, where neutron scattering can provide valuable insight into the magnetic properties of physical realisations of model systems. This thesis focuses on the excitation spectr ...

Magnetic structure and magnon dynamics of the quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet FePS3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Diane Virginie Marie Lançon

Neutron scattering from single crystals has been used to determine the magnetic structure and magnon dynamics of FePS3, an S = 2 Ising-like quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet with a honeycomb lattice. The magnetic structure has been confirmed to have a ...

MnO nanoparticles as the cause of ferromagnetism in bulk dilute Mn-doped ZnO

Arnaud Magrez, Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Goran Nilsen, Diane Virginie Marie Lançon, Ping Huang

We show that the observed ferromagnetic behavior of ZnO lightly doped with Mn coincides with the presence of MnO nanoparticles, whereas cluster-free Mn doped ZnO behaves paramagnetically. This conclusion is reached by a study of the structural and magnetic ...

The use of selected neutron absorption resonance filters to suppress spurious events on hot neutron spectrometers

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Diane Virginie Marie Lançon

Resonant absorption can be used as a filter for high energy neutron spectroscopy. Here we report the transmission of eight thin foil filters: erbium, indium, iridium, dysprosium, hafnium, gadolinium, cadmium and samarium, measured using neutron time-of-fli ...

Pressure induced evolution of superconductivity and magnetic hourglass dispersion in Fe1.02Te0.7Se0.3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Diane Virginie Marie Lançon, Nikolay Tsyrulin

Iron based high temperature superconductors have several common features with superconducting cuprates, including the square lattice and the proximity to an antiferromagnetic phase. The magnetic excitation spectrum below T-c of Fe1.02Te0.7Se0.3 shows an ho ...

Magnetic structure of the quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet NiPS3

Diane Virginie Marie Lançon

The magnetic structure of the quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet NiPS3 has been determined by magnetometry and a variety of neutron diffraction techniques. The experiments show that the samples must be carefully handled, as gluing influences the magneto ...

Cardiolipin Models for Molecular Simulations of Bacterial and Mitochondrial Membranes

Thomas Lemmin, Diane Virginie Marie Lançon, Matteo Dal Peraro, Christophe Bovigny

Present in bacterial and mitochondrial membranes, cardiolipins have a unique dimeric structure, which carries up to two charges (i.e., one per phosphate group) and, under physiological conditions, can be unprotonated or singly protonated. Exhaustive models ...

Blob current structures in TORPEX plasmas: experimental measurements and numerical simulations

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Davoud Iraji, Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Diane Virginie Marie Lançon, Nicola Vianello

In the simple magnetized torus TORPEX, field-aligned blobs originate from ideal interchange waves and propagate radially outward due to del B and curvature induced drifts. Time-resolved two-dimensional measurements of the field-aligned current density J(pa ...
