Magnetization measurements of Sr{14-x}Ca_xCu_{24}O_{41} with 0 <= x <=12 in magnetic fields up to 16 T show that the low-temperature magnetic response of the CuO_2 spin chains changes strongly upon Ca doping. For x=0 quantum statistical…
Experiments in the antiferromagnetic phase of a quasi 2D $S=1/2$ quasi-square lattice antiferromagnet Cu(pz)2(ClO4)2 reveal a biaxial type of the anisotropy, instead of the easy-plane one, considered before. The weak in-plane anisotropy,…

The parallel stripe phase is remarkable both in its own right, and in relation to the other phases it co-exists with. Its inhomogeneous nature makes such states susceptible to random fields from quenched magnetic vacancies. We argue this is…
