We investigated low energy nuclear spin excitations in the layered compound CoCl$_2$ by high resolution back-scattering neutron spectroscopy. We detected inelastic peaks at $E = 1.34 pm 0.03$ $mu$eV on both energy loss and energy sides of the central elastic peak at $T = 2$ K. The energy of the inelastic peaks decrease with temperature continuously and become zero at $T_N approx 25$ K at which the two ielastic peaks merge with the central elastic peak. We interpret the low energy excitations to be due to the transition between hyperfine field split nuclear levels. The present data together with the data on other Co compounds show that the energy of the nuclear spin excitations of a number of compounds follow a linear relationship with the electronic magnetic moment of the Co ion whereas that of other compounds deviate appreciably from this linear behaviour. We ascribe this anomalous behaviour to the presence of unquenched orbital moments of the Co ions.

We have investigated the ferromagnetic phase transition of elemental Co by high-resolution neutron backscattering spectroscopy. We monitored the splitting of the nuclear levels by the hyperfine field at the Co nucleus. The energy of this hyperfine sp litting is identified as the order parameter of the ferromagnetic phase transition. By measuring the temperature dependence of the energy we determined the critical exponent $beta = 0.350 pm 0.002$ and the ferromagnetic Curie temperature of $T_{text{C}} = 1400$~K. The present result of the critical exponent agrees better with the predicted value (0.367) of the 3-dimensional Heisenberg model than that determined previously by NMR.
We report the results of inelastic neutron scattering investigation on the model antiferromagnet CoF$_2$ by time-of-flight neutron spectroscopy. We measured the details of the scattering function $S(Q,omega)$ as a function of temperature with two dif ferent incident neutron wavelengths. The temperature and Q dependence of the measured scattering function suggests the presence of magnon-phonon coupling in almost all branches. The present results are in agreement with the strong magnetoelastic effects observed previously.
There has been growing interest in perovskite BaSnO3 due to its desirable properties for oxide electronic devices including high electron mobility at room temperature and optical transparency. As these electronic and optical properties originate larg ely from the electronic structure of the material, here the basic electronic structure of epitaxially-grown BaSnO3 films is studied using high-energy-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy in a transmission electron microscope and ab initio calculations. This study provides a detailed description of the dielectric function of BaSnO3, including the energies of bulk plasmon excitations and critical interband electronic transitions, the band structure and partial densities of states, the measured band gap, and more. To make the study representative of a variety of deposition methods, results from BaSnO3 films grown by both hybrid molecular beam epitaxy and high pressure oxygen sputter deposition are reported.
We performed angular and temperature-dependent electron-spin-resonance measurements in the quasi-two-dimensional organic conductor $kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu[N(CN)$_2$]I. The interlayer spin-diffusion is much weaker compared to the Cl- and Br-analogues , which are antiferromagnetic insulator and paramagnetic metal, respectively; $kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu[N(CN)$_2$]I behaves insulating when cooled below $T$ = 200 K. A spin gap ($Deltaapprox$ 18 K) opens at low temperatures leading to a spin-singlet state. Due to intrinsic disorder a substantial number of spins ($sim$ 1 $%$) remains unpaired. We observe additional signals below $T$ = 4 K with a pronounced anisotropy indicating the presence of local magnetic moments coupled to some fraction of those unpaired spins.
Studying the prototypical ferromagnetic superconductor UGe$_2$ we demonstrate the potential of the Modulated IntEnsity by Zero Effort (MIEZE) technique---a novel neutron spectroscopy method with ultra-high energy resolution of at least 1~$mu$eV---for the study of quantum matter. We reveal purely longitudinal spin fluctuations in UGe$_2$ with a dual nature arising from $5f$ electrons that are hybridized with the conduction electrons. Local spin fluctuations are perfectly described by the Ising universality class in three dimensions, whereas itinerant spin fluctuations occur over length scales comparable to the superconducting coherence length, showing that MIEZE is able to spectroscopically disentangle the complex low-energy behavior characteristic of quantum materials.
