We revisit the phase transition from the N\'eel ordered to a valence bond solid (VBS) state in the two-dimensional $J_1-J_2$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model. In the first part we address the question whether or not this transition could…
We present neutron diffraction analysis of BaFe$_2$(As$_{1-x}$P$_x$)$_2$ over a wide temperature (10 to 300 K) and compositional ($0.11 \leq x \leq 0.79$) range, including the normal state, the magnetically ordered state, and the…
We show numerically that the `deconfined' quantum critical point between the N\'eel antiferromagnet and the columnar valence-bond-solid, for a square lattice of spin-1/2s, has an emergent $SO(5)$ symmetry. This symmetry allows the N\'eel…
Temperature-dependent x-ray diffraction of the low-dimensional spin 1/2 quantum magnet TiOBr shows that the phase transition at T_{c2} = 47.1 (4) K corresponds to the development of an incommensurate superstructure. Below T_{c1} = 26.8 \pm…
