We measured the temperature dependences of the static magnetization and the spin excitation in a square-lattice multiferroics Ba$_2$MnGe$_2$O$_7$. An anisotropy gap of the observed low energy mode is scaled by electric polarization rather than a power of sublattice moment. Spin nematic interaction in effective spin Hamiltonian, which is equivalent to interaction of electric polarization, is responsible for the easy-axis anisotropy. The nontrivial behavior of the anisotropy gap can be rationalized as change of the hybridized $d$-$p$ orbital with temperature, leading to the temperature dependence of the spin nematic interaction.

We report on spherical neutron polarimetry and unpolarized neutron diffraction in zero magnetic field as well as flipping ratio and static magnetization measurements in high magnetic fields on the multiferroic square lattice antiferromagnet Ba$_2$CoG e$_2$O$_7$. We found that in zero magnetic field the magnetic space group is $Cmm2$ with sublattice magnetization parallel to the [100] axis of this orthorhombic setting. The spin canting has been found to be smaller than $0.2^circ$ in the ground state. This assignment is in agreement with the field-induced changes of the magnetic domain structure below 40 mT as resolved by spherical neutron polarimetry. The magnitude of the ordered moment has been precisely determined. Above the magnetic ordering temperature short-range magnetic fluctuations are observed. Based on the high-field magnetization data, we refined the parameters of the recently proposed microscopic spin model describing the multiferroic phase of Ba$_2$CoGe$_2$O$_7$.
In the quest to realize a quantum spin liquid (QSL), magnetic long-range order is hardly welcome. Yet it can offer deep insights into a complex world of strong correlations and fluctuations. Much hope was placed in the cubic pyrochlore Yb$_2$Ti$_2$O$ _7$ as a putative U(1) QSL but a new class of ultra-pure single crystals make it abundantly clear the stoichiometric compound is a ferromagnet. Here we present a detailed experimental and theoretical study of the corresponding field-temperature phase diagram. We find it to be richly anisotropic with a critical endpoint for $vec{B},parallel,langle 100rangle$, while field parallel to $langle 110 rangle$ and $langle 111 rangle$ enhances the critical temperature by up to a factor of two and shifts the onset of the field-polarized state to finite fields. Landau theory shows that Yb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ in some ways is remarkably similar to pure iron. However, it also pinpoints anomalies that cannot be accounted for at the classical mean-field level including a dramatic enhancement of $T_{mathrm{C}}$ and reentrant phase boundary by fields with a component transverse to the easy axes, as well as the anisotropy of the upper critical field in the quantum limit.

We have investigated the microwave non-reciprocity for a non-centrosymmetric antiferromagnet Ba$_2$MnGe$_2$O$_7$. The magnon modes expected by the conventional spin wave theory for staggered antiferromagnets are certainly observed. The magnitudes of exchange interaction and magnetic anisotropy are obtained by the comparison with the theory. The microwave non-reciprocity is identified for one of these mode. The relative magnitude of microwave non-reciprocity can be explained with use of spin wave theory and Kubo formula.
We report low temperature specific heat and muon spin relaxation/rotation ($mu$SR) measurements on both polycrystalline and single crystal samples of the pyrochlore magnet Yb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$. This system is believed to possess a spin Hamiltonian suppo rting a Quantum Spin Ice (QSI) ground state and to display sample variation in its low temperature heat capacity. Our two samples exhibit extremes of this sample variation, yet our $mu$SR measurements indicate a similar disordered low temperature state down to 16 mK in both. We report little temperature dependence to the spin relaxation and no evidence for ferromagnetic order, in contrast to recent reports by Chang emph{et al.} (Nat. Comm. {bf 3}, 992 (2012)). Transverse field (TF) $mu$SR measurements show changes in the temperature dependence of the muon Knight shift which coincide with heat capacity anomalies. We are therefore led to propose that Yb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ enters a hidden order ground state below $T_csim265$ mK where the nature of the ordered state is unknown but distinct from simple long range order.
The elementary excitations of the spin-ice materials Ho$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ and Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ in zero field can be described as independent magnetic monopoles. We investigate the influence of these exotic excitations on the heat transport by measuring the magnetic-field dependent thermal conductivity $kappa $. Additional measurements on the highly dilute reference compounds HoYTi$_2$O$_7$ and DyYTi$_2$O$_7$ enable us to separate $kappa $ into a sum of phononic ($kappa_{ph}$) and magnetic ($kappa_{mag}$) contributions. For both spin-ice materials, we derive significant zero-field contributions $kappa_{mag}$, which are rapidly suppressed in finite magnetic fields. Moreover, $kappa_{mag}$ sensitively depends on the scattering of phonons by magnetic excitations, which is rather different for the Ho- and the Dy-based materials and, as a further consequence, the respective magnetic-field dependent changes $kappa_{ph}(B)$ are even of opposite signs.
