Multiferroics, defined for those multifunctional materials in which two or more kinds of
fundamental ferroicities coexist, have become one of the hottest topics of condensed matter …

There is a long time gap between the formulation of the basic theory of low-dimensional (low-
D) magnetism as advanced by Ising, Heisenberg and Bethe and its experimental …

We report our discovery of ferroelectricity in the spiral-magnetic state in the quantum quasi-
one-dimensional (1D) S= 1/2 magnet of LiCu 2 O 2. Electric polarization (P) emerges along …

Inelastic neutron scattering, susceptibility, and high-field magnetization identify LiCuVO 4 as
a nearest-neighbour ferromagnetic, next-nearest-neighbour frustrated, quasi–one …

In magnetism, of which molecular magnetism is a part, the term frustration is used rather
sloppily. Sometimes one gains the impression that if the reason for some phenomenon is not …

The discovery of magnetism by the ancient Greeks was enabled by the natural occurrence of
lodestone–a magnetized version of the mineral magnetite. Nowadays, natural minerals …

Measurements of polarized neutron scattering were performed on a S= 1/2 chain multiferroic
LiCu 2 O 2. In the ferroelectric ground state with the spontaneous polarization along the c …

We have investigated magnetic properties of Rb 2 Cu 2 Mo 3 O 12 powder. Temperature
dependence of magnetic susceptibility and magnetic-field dependence of magnetization …

The quasi-one-dimensional helimagnet Li Cu 2 O 2 was studied by single crystal inelastic
neutron scattering. The dispersion relation of spin wave excitations was measured in the …

We report a detailed examination of the magnetic structure of anhydrous cupric chloride
CuCl 2 carried out by powder neutron diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat …
