Journal ArticleDOI

High-energy magnetic excitations from heavy quasiparticles in CeCu$_2$Si$_2$.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors mapped out the magnetic excitations in cuprate, iron-based and heavy fermion superconductors using inelastic neutron scattering, finding a strongly asymmetric dispersion for less than 1.5
Journal ArticleDOI

High-resolution x-ray scattering study of the effect of quenched random disorder on the nematic-smectic-A transition

TL;DR: Using high-resolution x-ray scattering, the effect of quenched random disorder (QRD) on the second-order nematic-smectic-A (N-SmA) phase transition in butyloxybenzilidene-octylaniline (4O.8) has been studied and the effective order parameter critical exponent shows an evolution with increasing aerosil gel density.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isothermal melting of near-monolayer xenon on single-crystal graphite

TL;DR: In this paper, the melting transition of near-monolayer xenon at three temperatures, namely, 121 K, 140 K and 145 K, was investigated, and it was shown that there is a continuous evolution of the length scale of the positional fluctuations up to approximately 1000 AA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum Fluctuations in the Frustrated Antiferromagnet Sr 2 Cu 3 O 4 Cl 2

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have shown that the band structure of the lamellar cuprates needed to calculate the anisotropic exchange constants used in this paper is similar to that of the weakly coupled CuO planes in the two-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg model.
