The spin-orbit coupled Mott insulator $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ has emerged as a prime candidate for realizing the Kitaev quantum spin liquid (KQSL), characterized by Majorana quasiparticles, whose edge states exhibit a distinctive half-integer…
High resolution inelastic neutron scattering is used to study excitations in the organometallic magnet DMACuCl$_3$. The correct magnetic Hamiltonian describing this material has been debated for many years. Combined with high field bulk…
The spin liquid phase is one of the prominent strongly interacting topological phases of matter whose unambiguous confirmation is yet to be reached despite intensive experimental efforts on numerous candidate materials. Recently, a new…
We report the synthesis and properties of (H,Li)$_{6}$Ru$_{2}$O$_{6}$, which is shown to be a $J_{\text{eff}}=\frac{1}{2}$ system made out of Ru$^{3+}$ moments in a honeycomb geometry. Bulk magnetization, heat capacity, nuclear magnetic…
CuGeO$_3$ undergoes a transition from a spin-Peierls phase to an incommensurate phase at a critical field of $H_c\approx 12.5$ T. In the high-field phase a lattice of solitons forms, with both structural and magnetic components, and these…
Quantum phase transitions in quantum matter occur at zero temperature between distinct ground states by tuning a nonthermal control parameter. Often, they can be accurately described within the Landau theory of phase transitions, similarly…
We study the spin excitation spectra in magnetically ordered phases proximate to the Kitaev quantum spin liquid (KQSL). Although the low-energy universal features should be governed by the magnetic orders, the $\textit{non-universal}$…
Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements of powder D$_3(^{7}$Li)($^{193}$Ir)$_2$O$_6$ reveal low energy magnetic excitations with a scattering cross section that is broad in $|Q|$ and consistent with a Kitaev spin-liquid (KSL) state.…
Bilayer strontium ruthenate Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ displays pronounced non-Fermi liquid behavior at magnetic fields around 8 T, applied perpendicular to the ruthenate planes, which previously has been associated with an itinerant metamagnetic…
We report an unprecedented quantum criticality crossover representing two different universal scaling behaviors in a Kitaev quantum magnetic material $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$. $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ presents both a symmetry breaking antiferromagnetic…
Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) host a variety of fractionalized particles. In Kitaev's paradigmatic honeycomb model a spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}$ fractionalizes into $Z_2$ flux due to emergent $Z_2$ gauge field and matter Majorana fermions. Although…
The Kitaev quantum spin liquid (KSL) is a theoretically predicted state of matter whose fractionalized quasiparticles are distinct from bosonic magnons, the fundamental excitation in ordered magnets. The layered honeycomb antiferromagnet…
The magnetic susceptibility of the gapped quantum spin liquid compound (C$_4$H$_{12}$N$_2$)Cu$_2$Cl$_6$ and its chemically disordered derivatives (C$_4$H$_{12}$N$_2$)Cu$_2$(Cl$_{1-x}$Br$_{x}$)$_6$ are systematically studied in magnetic…
Under the hydrostatic pressure $P=1.48$ GPa, polarized neutron elastic scattering experiments have been carried out on the coupled spin dimer system TlCuCl$_3$ with the gapped ground state at ambient pressure. Pressure-induced magnetic…
Quantum spin liquids can arise from Kitaev magnetic interactions, and exhibit fractionalized excitations with the potential for a topological form of quantum computation. This review surveys recent experimental and theoretical progress on…
Quantum spin liquids represent exotic states of spin systems characterized by long-range entanglement and emergent fractionalized quasiparticles. It is generally believed that disorder is hostile to quantum spin liquids. In our study, we…
Inelastic neutron scattering provides a powerful probe of the magnetic excitations of quantum magnets. Altermagnets have recently emerged as a new class of magnets with vanishing net magnetization characteristic of antiferromagnets and with…
We compute the rotational anisotropy of the free energy of $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ in an external magnetic field. This quantity, known as the magnetotropic susceptibility, $k$, relates to the second derivative of the free energy with respect to…
Neutron scattering is a powerful tool to study magnetic structures and dynamics, benefiting from a precisely established theoretical framework. The neutron dipole moment interacts with electrons in materials via their magnetic field, which…
We report on neutron-scattering results on the impact of a magnetic field on stripe order in the cuprate La$_{1.875}$Ba$_{0.125}$CuO$_4$. It is found that a 7 T magnetic field applied along the {\it c} axis causes a small but finite…
