We report inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the magnetic excitations in Ba2CuTeO6, proposed by ab initio calculations to magnetically realize weakly coupled antiferromagnetic two-leg spin-1/2 ladders. Isolated ladders are…
A comprehensive theoretical and experimental study is presented of the magnetic susceptibility versus temperature \chi(T) of spin S = 1/2 two- and three-leg Heisenberg ladders and ladder oxide compounds. Extensive quantum Monte Carlo…
The ordered hexagonal perovskite Ba2CuTeO6 hosts weakly coupled S=1/2 spin ladders produced by an orbital ordering of Cu2+. The magnetic susceptibility chi(T) of Ba2CuTeO6 is well described by that expected for isolated spin ladders with…
The magnetic anisotropy af a rectangular Cu-O-Cu bond is investigated in second order of the spin-orbit interaction. Such a bond is characteristic for cuprates having edge sharing CuO_2 chains, and exists also in the Cu_3O_4 plane or in…
We introduce Bi$_2$CuO$_3$(SO$_4$) as a rare example of a spin-ladder magnet with ferromagnetic interactions on the rungs. Its magnetic response is studied through measurements of heat capacity, temperature-dependent magnetic…
The crystal structure and magnetic properties of the spin-1 triangular-lattice antiferromagnet Ba$_2$La$_2$NiTe$_2$O$_{12}$ are reported. Its crystal structure is trigonal $R\bar{3}$, which is the same as that of Ba$_2$La$_2$NiW$_2$O$_{12}$…
We probed spin-spin correlations up to 725 K with 63Cu NQR in the S= 1/2 three-leg ladder Sr2Cu3O5. We present experimental evidence that below 300 K, weak inter-ladder coupling causes dimensional crossover of the spin-spin correlation…
The recently-discovered ``ladder'' compound LaCuO$_{2.5}$ has been found to admit hole doping without altering its structure of coupled copper oxide ladders. While susceptibility measurements on the parent compound suggest a spin gap and a…
The copper fluoride Cu$_2$F$_5$ is a compound with 2D-magnetic exchange interactions between the Cu ions in the $S=1$ and $S=\frac{1}{2}$ spin-states. Using ab-initio calculations, we predict that the existence of 5% vacancies in the…
The quantum antiferromagnet Cu2Te2O5Br2 was investigated by NMR and NQR. The 125Te NMR investigation showed that there is a magnetic transition around 10.5K at 9T, in agreement with previous studies. From the divergence of the spin-lattice…
The magnetic properties of polycrystalline samples of Ba3Cu3In4O12 (In-334) and Ba3Cu3Sc4O12 (Sc-334) are reported. Both 334 phases have a structure derived from perovskite, with CuO4 squares interconnected to form half-twist ladders along…
The electronic and magnetic structure, including the Heisenberg model exchange interaction parameters, was explored for the recently proposed novel cuprate Cu$_2$F$_5$. Using the DFT+U calculation, it is shown that the compound is formed by…
We have successfully synthesized single crystals, solved the crystal structure, and studied the magnetic properties of a new family of copper halides (C$_4$H$_{14}$N$_2$)Cu$_2X_6$ ($X$= Cl, Br). These compounds crystallize in an…
We have synthesized and characterized a new spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic ladder: bis 5-iodo-2-aminopyridinium tetrabromocuprate(II) dihydrate. X-ray diffraction studies show the structure of the compound to consist of well isolated…
We present specific-heat and neutron-scattering results for the \emph{S}=1/2 quantum antiferromagnet (dimethylammonium)(3,5-dimethylpyridinium)CuBr$_4$. The material orders magnetically at \emph{T}$_N$=1.99(2)\,K, and magnetic excitations…
In this paper we demonstrate the application of high magnetic fields to study the magnetic properties of low dimensional spin systems. We present a case study on the series of 2-leg spin-ladder compounds…
Frustrated transition metal compounds in which spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and electron correlation work together have attracted much attention recently. In the case of 5$d$ transition metals, where SOC is large, $j_\text{eff}=1/2$ bands near…
Two new transition-metal tellurium oxy-chlorides of the general formula Ni_5(TeO_3)_4X_2 (X=Cl, Br) have been isolated during the investigation of the ternary phase diagram NiO-NiCl2-TeO2. They crystallize in the monoclinic system, space…
We report on the microscopic magnetic modeling of the spin-1/2 copper mineral malachite at ambient and elevated pressures. Despite the layered crystal structure of this mineral, the ambient-pressure susceptibility and magnetization data can…
Spin-$1/2$ chains with alternating antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic couplings have attracted considerable interest due to the topological character of their spin excitations. Here, using density functional theory and density matrix…
