We demonstrate that the spin dynamics in underdoped Y(1-z)Ca(z)Ba(2)Cu(3)O(y) for y=~6.0 exhibit qualitatively the same behavior to underdoped La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4) for an equal amount of hole concentration p=z/2=x<0.11. However,a spin-gap…

Twenty seven years after the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity \cite{BedMu}, consensus on its theoretical explanation is still absent. To a good extent, this is due to the difficulty of studying strongly correlated systems…
We have studied magnetically frustrated Tb$_2$Sn$_2$O$_7$ by neutron diffraction and high resolution energy-resolved neutron scattering. At 0.1 K, we observe short range magnetic correlations with a typical scale of 4 \AA, close to the near…
The mechanism of the high temperature hole-doped superconductivity was investigated by Raman scattering. The Raman selection rule is unique, so that anisotropic magnetic excitations in a fluctuating spin-charge stripe can be detected as if…
A Dirac quantum spin liquid hosts Dirac spinons, which are low-energy fractionalized neutral quasiparticles with spin 1/2 that obey the Dirac equation. Recent inelastic neutron scattering studies have revealed a cone spin continuum in…

We present a microscopic theory of Raman scattering by a two-dimensional Fermi liquid (FL) with Rashba and Dresselhaus types of spin-orbit coupling, and subject to an in-plane magnetic field (B). In the long-wavelength limit, the Raman…
Based on the Zhang-Rice singlet picture, it is argued that the half-skyrmion is created by the doped hole in the single hole doped high-T_c cuprates with N'eel ordering. The spin configuration around the Zhang-Rice singlet, which has the…
We report a synchrotron x-ray scattering study of the diluted spin-Peierls (SP) material Cu_(1-x)Mg_xGeO_3. We find that for x>0 the temperature T_m at which the spin gap is established is significantly higher than the temperature T_s at…
Recent neutron diffraction studies have yielded evidence that, in a particular cuprate family, holes doped into the CuO(2) planes segregate into stripes that separate antiferromagnetic domains. Here it is shown that such a picture provides…
We present neutron scattering studies of the inter-planar correlations in the high-temperature superconductor La1.88Sr0.12CuO4 (T_c=27 K). The correlations are studied both in a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the CuO2 planes, and…
While the dominant magnetic interaction in La$_2$CuO$_4$ is superexchange between nearest-neighbor Cu moments, the pinning of the spin direction depends on weak anisotropic effects associated with spin-orbit coupling. The symmetry of the…
Topologically ordered states, such as chiral spin liquids, have been proposed as candidates that host fractionalized excitations. However, detecting chiral character or proximity to these non-trivial states remains a challenge. Resonant…
