Static magnetic susceptibility chi, ac susceptibility chi_{ac} and specific heat C versus temperature T measurements on polycrystalline samples of In2VO5 and chi and C versus T measurements on the isostructural, nonmagnetic compound In2TiO5 are reported. A Curie-Wiess fit to the chi(T) data above 175 K for In2VO5 indicates ferromagnetic exchange between V^{4+} (S = 1/2) moments. Below 150 K the chi(T) data deviate from the Curie-Weiss behavior but there is no signature of any long range magnetic order down to 1.8 K. There is a cusp at 2.8 K in the zero field cooled (ZFC) chi(T) data measured in a magnetic field of 100 Oe and the ZFC and field cooled (FC) data show a bifurcation below this temperature. The frequency dependence of the chi_{ac}(T) data indicate that below 3 K the system is in a spin-glass state. The difference Delta C between the heat capacity of In2VO5 and In2TiO5 shows a broad anomaly peaked at 130 K. The entropy upto 300 K is more than what is expected for S = 1/2 moments. The anomaly in Delta C and the extra entropy suggests that there may be a structural change below 130 K in In2VO5.

SrTm$_2$O$_4$ has been investigated using heat capacity, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization in pulsed fields, and inelastic neutron scattering measurements. These results show that the system is highly anisotropic, has gapped low-energy dispersin
g magnetic excitations, and remains in a paramagnetic state down to 2K. Two theoretical crystal field models were used to describe the single-ion properties of SrTm$_2$O$_4$without any optimization procedures; a standard point-charge model and a Density Functional Theory (DFT) based model that uses Wannier functions. The DFT model was found to better describe the system at low energy by predicting a singlet ground state for one Tm site and a doublet for the second Tm site and anisotropy of second site Tm dominating the anisotropy of the system. Additionally, muon spin rotation/relaxation ($mu^+$psr) spectra reveal oscillations, typically a sign of long-range magnetic order. We attribute these observations to lattice distortion induced by muon implantation, causing renormalization of the gap size.
The compound CaV2O4 contains V^{+3} cations with spin S = 1 and has an orthorhombic structure at room temperature containing zigzag chains of V atoms running along the c-axis. We have grown single crystals of CaV2O4 and report crystallography, static
magnetization, magnetic susceptibility chi, ac magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity Cp, and thermal expansion measurements in the temperature T range of 1.8-350 K on the single crystals and on polycrystalline samples. An orthorhombic to monoclinic structural distortion and a long-range antiferromagnetic (AF) transition were found at sample-dependent temperatures T_S approx 108-145 K and T_N approx 51-76 K, respectively. In two annealed single crystals, another transition was found at approx 200 K. In one of the crystals, this transition is mostly due to V2O3 impurity phase that grows coherently in the crystals during annealing. However, in the other crystal the origin of this transition at 200 K is unknown. The chi(T) shows a broad maximum at approx 300 K associated with short-range AF ordering and the anisotropy of chi above T_N is small. The anisotropic chi(T to 0) data below T_N show that the (average) easy axis of the AF magnetic structure is the b-axis. The Cp(T) data indicate strong short-range AF ordering above T_N, consistent with the chi(T) data. We fitted our chi(T) data near room temperature by a J1-J2 S = 1 Heisenberg chain model, where J1(J2) is the (next)-nearest-neighbor exchange interaction. We find J1 approx 230 K, and surprisingly, J2/J1 approx 0 (or J1/J2 approx 0). The interaction J_perp between these S = 1 chains leading to long-range AF ordering at T_N is estimated to be J_perp/J_1 gtrsim 0.04.
By means of electron spin resonance investigations we revealed the crucial role of the interchain coupling in the spin dynamics of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic (AF) chain material copper-pyrazine-dinitrate, Cu(C$_4$H$_4$N$_2$)(NO$_3$)$_2
$. We found that the dominating interchain interaction is of a zig-zag type. This interaction gives rise to geometrical frustration effects and strongly influences the character of AF ordering. Combining our experimental findings with the results of a quasiclassical approach we argue that at low temperatures the system orders in an incommensurate spiral state.
Here, we report the synthesis and magnetic properties of a Yb-based triangular-lattice compound LiYbS$_2$. At low temperatures, it features an effective spin-$frac{1}{2}$ state due to the combined effect of crystal electric field and spin orbit coupl
ing. Magnetic susceptibility measurements and $^7$Li nuclear magnetic resonance experiments reveal the absence of magnetic long range ordering down to 2~K, which suggests a possible quantum spin liquid ground state. A dominant antiferromagnetic nearest neighbour exchange interaction $J/k_{rm B}simeq$ 5.3~K could be extracted form the magnetic susceptibility. The NMR linewidth analysis yields the coupling constant between the Li nuclei and Yb$^{3+}$ ions which was found to be purely dipolar in nature.
We report an investigation on structure and magnetic properties of the $S=3/2$ zigzag spin chain compound BaCoTe$_2$O$_7$. Neutron diffraction measurements reveal BaCoTe$_2$O$_7$ crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric space group $Ama2$ with a canted
$uparrowuparrowdownarrowdownarrow$ spin structure along the quasi-one-dimensional zigzag chain and a moment size of $1.89(2)mu_B$ at 2 K. Magnetic susceptibility and specific heat measurements yield an antiferromagnetic phase transition at $T_N=6.2$ K. A negative Curie-Weiss temperature $Theta_{CW}=-74.7(2)$ K and an empirical frustration parameter of $f=|Theta_text{CW}|/T_text{N}approx12$ is obtained from fitting the magnetic susceptibility, indicating antiferromagnetic interactions and strong magnetic frustration. By employing ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy and first principles calculations, an indirect band gap of 2.68(2) eV is determined. We propose that the canted zigzag spin chain of BaCoTe$_2$O$_7$ may produce a change of the polarization via exchange striction mechanism.
