Interplay of Disorder and Transverse-Field Induced Quantum Fluctuations in the LiHo_xY_{1-x}F_4 Ising Magnetic Material
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-25)The LiHo_xY_{1-x}F_4 magnetic material in a transverse magnetic field B_x perpendicular to the Ising spin direction has long been used to study tunable quantum phase transitions in pure and random disordered systems. We ... -
Precision Low Temperature Calorimetry and Susceptibility of Magnetic Pyrochlores
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-19)Spin-ice models feature the same statistical disorder as water ice, which is identified as the source of zero-point entropy. Gapped topological excitations with properties of monopoles are associated with the violation of ...
