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 ... -
Theoretical studies of frustrated magnets with dipolar interactions
(University of Waterloo, 2009-12-18)Several magnetic materials, in the first approximation, can be described by idealised theoretical models, such as classical Ising or Heisenberg spin systems, and, to some extent, such models are able to qualitatively expose ...
