Inelastic neutron scattering and bulk magnetic susceptibility studies of the quantum S=1/2 spin ladder system IPA-CuCl3 are performed under hydrostatic pressure. The pressure dependence of the spin gap $Delta$ is determined. At $P=1.5$ GPa it is reduced to $Delta=0.79$ meV from $Delta=1.17$ meV at ambient pressure. The results allow us to predict a soft-mode quantum phase transition in this system at P$_mathrm{c}sim 4$ GPa. The measurements are complicated by a proximity of a structural phase transition that leads to a deterioration of the sample.

Inelastic and elastic neutron scattering is used to study spin correlations in the quasi-one dimensional quantum antiferromagnet IPA-CuCl3 in strong applied magnetic fields. A condensation of magnons and commensurate transverse long-range ordering is observe at a critical filed $H_c=9.5$ T. The field dependencies of the energies and polarizations of all magnon branches are investigated both below and above the transition point. Their dispersion is measured across the entire 1D Brillouin zone in magnetic fields up to 14 T. The critical wave vector of magnon spectrum truncation [Masuda et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 047210 (2006)] is found to shift from h_c 0.35 at H>H_c. A drastic reduction of magnon bandwidths in the ordered phase [Garlea et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 167202 (2007)] is observed and studied in detail. New features of the spectrum, presumably related to this bandwidth collapse, are observed just above the transition field.

We present a comprehensive study of the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the magnetic structure and spin dynamics in the spin-1/2 coupled ladder compound C$_9$H$_{18}$N$_2$CuBr$_4$. The applied pressure is demonstrated as a parameter to effectively tune the exchange interactions in the spin Hamiltonian without inducing a structural transition. The single-crystal heat capacity and neutron diffraction measurements reveal that the N$rm acute{e}$el ordered state breaks down at and above a critical pressure $P_{rm c}$$sim$1.0 GPa through a continuous quantum phase transition. The thorough analysis of the critical exponents indicates that such transition with a large anomalous exponent $eta$ into a quantum-disordered state cannot be described by the classic Landaus paradigm. Using inelastic neutron scattering and quantum Monte Carlo methods, the high-pressure regime is proposed as a $Z_2$ quantum spin liquid phase in terms of characteristic fully gapped vison-like and fractionalized excitations in distinct scattering channels.
The spin ice materials Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7 are experimental and theoretical exemplars of highly frustrated magnetic materials. However, the effects of an applied uniaxial pressure are not well studied, and here we report magnetization measurements of Ho2Ti2O7 under uniaxial pressure applied in the [001], [111] and [110] crystalline directions. The basic features are captured by an extension of the dipolar spin ice model. We find a good match between our model and measurements with pressures applied along two of the three directions, and extend the framework to discuss the influence of crystal misalignment for the third direction. The parameters determined from the magnetization measurements reproduce neutron scattering measurements we perform under uniaxial pressure applied along the [110] crystalline direction. In the detailed analysis we include the recently verified susceptibility dependence of the demagnetizing factor. Our work demonstrates the application of a moderate applied pressure to modify the magnetic interaction parameters. The knowledge can be used to predict critical pressures needed to induce new phases and transitions in frustrated materials, and in the case of Ho2Ti2O7 we expect a transition to a ferromagnetic ground state for uniaxial pressures above 3.3 GPa.
The phase diagram in temperature and magnetic field of the metal-organic, two-leg, spin-ladder compound (C5H12N)2CuBr4 is studied by measurements of the specific heat and the magnetocaloric effect. We demonstrate the presence of an extended spin Lutt inger-liquid phase between two field-induced quantum critical points and over a broad range of temperature. Based on an ideal spin-ladder Hamiltonian, comprehensive numerical modelling of the ladder specific heat yields excellent quantitative agreement with the experimental data across the complete phase diagram.
We report on the effects of introducing magnetic and non-magnetic disorder in the hyperkagome iridate quantum spin liquid (QSL) candidate Na$_4$Ir$_3$O$_8$ by partially replacing Ir$^{4+}$ ($S = 1/2$) with Ru$^{4+}$ ($S = 1$) or Ti$^{4+}$ ($S = 0$). Specifically, we synthesized Na$_4$(Ir$_{1-x}$Ru$_x$)$_3$O$_8 (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.2, 0.3)$ and Na$_4$Ir$_{2.7}$Ti$_{0.3}$O$_8$ samples and measured electrical transport, AC and DC magnetization, and heat capacity down to $T = 1.8$ K. Na$_4$Ir$_3$O$_8$ is associated with a large Weiss temperature $theta = -650$ K, a broad anomaly in magnetic heat capacity C$_{mag}$ at T $approx25$ K, low temperature power-law heat capacity, and spin glass freezing below $T_f approx 6$ K. We track the change in these characteristic features as Ir is partially substituted by Ru or Ti. We find that for Ru substitution, $theta$ increases and stays negative, the anomaly in C$_{mag}$ is suppressed in magnitude and pushed to lower temperatures, low temperature $C sim T^alpha$ with $alpha$ between $2$ and $3$ and decreasing towards $2$ with increasing $x$, and $T_f$ increases with increase in Ru concentration $x$. For Ti substitution we find that $theta$ and T$_f$ become smaller and the anomaly in $C_{mag}$ is completely suppressed. In addition, introducing non-magnetic Ti leads to the creation of orphan spins which show up in the low temperature magnetic susceptibility.
