Emergent Fields, Flat Bands and Phase Competition: A Study in Magnetic Pyrochlore Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-18)We investigate spins models on the pyrochlore and the breathing pyrochlore lattice. Specifically, we study polarized neutron scattering in classical spin ice modelled via Ising spins with anti-ferromagnetic interactions. ... -
An experimental investigation of the spin dynamics of dipolar spin ice
(University of Waterloo, 2012-04-27)The low temperature spin dynamics of the canonical dipolar spin ice materials is examined. The ac susceptibility of dipolar spin ice materials Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7 is measured to lower temperatures and frequencies than ... -
Hodge Theory for Geometrically Frustrated Magnetism
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-29)We present an analytical formalism based on the concept of discrete differential forms and Hodge theory as a framework for understanding geometrically frustrated magnetism. The primary insight is to treat spins as a 1-form ... -
An investigation of low energy quasiparticle excitations via thermal transport measurements
(University of Waterloo, 2017-06-16)Thermal transport measurements can provide a unique perspective of the nature of a system by exploring the behaviour of the low energy excitations from the ground state. Delocalized quasiparticle excitations can affect ...
