Generalized resolution matrix for neutron spin-echo three-axis spectrometers

Thomas Keller, Felix Groitl

This article describes the energy resolution of spin-echo three-axis spectrometers (SE-TASs) by a compact matrix formalism. SE-TASs allow one to measure the line widths of elementary excitations in crystals, such as phonons and magnons, with an energy reso ...

Spin excitations in the skyrmion host Cu2OSeO3

Arnaud Magrez, Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Ivica Zivkovic, Jonathan White, Peter Babkevich, Ping Huang, Felix Groitl, Gregory Scott Tucker

We have used inelastic neutron scattering to measure the magnetic excitation spectrum along the high-symmetry directions of the first Brillouin zone of the magnetic skyrmion hosting compound Cu2OSeO3. The majority of our scattering data are consistent with ...

A combined radial collimator and cooled beryllium filter for neutron scattering

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Felix Groitl

A flexible, combined, radial collimator and beryllium (Be) filter have been designed and manufactured at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI), Switzerland. The Be is integrated in the radial collimator by placing thin Be slices between the collimator lamellas. ...

Neutron Larmor diffraction investigation of the rare-earth pyrochlores R2Ti2O7 (R = Tb, Dy, Ho)

Thomas Keller, Felix Groitl

In this work, we present a neutron Larmor diffraction study of the rare-earth pyrochlores R2Ti2O7 with R = Tb, Dy, Ho. We measured the temperature dependence of the lattice parameter with precision 10(-5), between 0.5 and 300 K in each of the three compoun ...

Luttinger liquid behavior in the alternating spin-chain system copper nitrate

Felix Groitl

We determine the phase diagram of copper nitrate Cu(NO3)(2)center dot 2.5D(2)O in the context of quantum phase transitions and novel states of matter. We establish this compound as an ideal candidate to study quasi-1D Luttinger liquids, 3D Bose-Einstein-Co ...
