Neutron Scattering - Magnetic and Quantum Phenomena provides detailed coverage of the application of neutron scattering in condensed matter research. The book's primary aim is to enable researchers in a particular area to identify the aspects of their work where neutron scattering techniques might contribute, conceive the important experiments to be done, assess what is required to carry them out, write a successful proposal for one of the major user facilities, and perform the experiments under the guidance of the appropriate instrument scientist. An earlier series edited by Kurt Sköld and David L. Price, and published in the 1980s by Academic Press as three volumes in the series Methods of Experimental Physics, was very successful and remained the standard reference in the field for several years. This present work has similar goals, taking into account the advances in experimental techniques over the past quarter-century, for example, neutron reflectivity and spin-echo spectroscopy, and techniques for probing the dynamics of complex materials of technological relevance. This volume complements Price and Fernandez-Alonso (Eds.), Neutron Scattering - Fundamentals published in November 2013. Covers the application of neutron scattering techniques in the study of quantum and magnetic phenomena, including superconductivity, multiferroics, and nanomagnetism Presents up-to-date reviews of recent results, aimed at enabling the reader to identify new opportunities and plan neutron scattering experiments in their own field Provides a good balance between theory and experimental techniques Provides a complement to Price and Fernandez-Alonso (Eds.), Neutron Scattering - Fundamentals published in November 2013

Both Dy/sub 1/ /sub 2/Mo/sub 6/S/sub 8/ and Tb/sub 1/ /sub 2/Mo/sub 6/S/sub 8/ are superconducting below T/sub c/ = 2.05 K. Neutron scattering studies show that these compounds in zero applied magnetic field develop long-range antiferromagnetic order (greater than 300 A) at T/sub M/ = 0.4 K and T/sub M/ = 1.0 K, respectively, which does not destroy the superconducting state. Magnetization measurements at temperatures below T/sub M/ suggest the development of ferromagnetic order as the applied magnetic field increases. In the case of Tb/sub 1/ /sub 2/Mo/sub 6/S/sub 8/ the neutron data show long-range ferromagnetic order developing for H greater than or equal to H/sub c2/ = 1.9 kOe where H/sub c2/ is the upper critical field for superconductivity. However, for Dy/sub 1/ /sub 2/Mo/sub 6/S/sub 8/ long-range ferromagnetic order begins to develop at H = 200 Oe, a field much less than H/sub c2/ = 1.2 kOe. As the ferromagnetic intensity increases, the antiferromagnetic intensity decreases. Between H = 200 Oe and H = 1.2 kOe both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order occur with the sample in the superconducting state.

The NMR probe has yielded a panorama of data on the static and dynamic magnetic properties of high-Tc materials. This volume aims to provide a comprehensive exposition of the various facets of the technique itself and to apply those results to the task of creating straightforward physical meaning for the elements of the available data. While some aspects of the underlying theory remain mysterious, this book renders nearly every available measurement understandable.

This book studies the structural, magnetic and electronic properties of, as well as magnetic excitations in, high-temperature BaFe2-xNixAs2 superconductors using neutron diffraction and neutron spectroscopic methods. It describes the precise determination of the phase diagram of BaFe2-xNixAs2, which demonstrates strong magnetoelastic coupling and avoided quantum criticality driven by short-range incommensurate antiferromagnetic order, showing cluster spin glass behavior. It also identifies strong nematic spin correlations in the tetragonal state of uniaxial strained BaFe2-xNixAs2. The nematic correlations have similar temperature and doping dependence as resistivity anisotropy in detwinned samples, which suggests that they are intimately connected. Lastly, it investigates doping evolution of magnetic excitations in overdoped BaFe2-xNixAs2 and discusses the links with superconductivity. This book includes detailed neutron scattering results on BaFe2-xNixAs2 and an introduction to neutron scattering techniques, making it a useful guide for readers pursuing related research.

While the mechanism for the high transition temperatures (Tc) in the cuprate superconductors remains unsolved, antiferromagnetic fluctuations on the copper-oxygen sheets are thought to play an important role. Long-range antiferromagnetic order is present in the undoped insulating parent compounds, whereas superconductivity is observed when these materials are doped with a sufficient number of holes or electrons. Because these two phases are well separated on the hole-doped side of the phase diagram, the interplay between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity is perhaps better studied in the electron-doped compounds, where the two phases appear to overlap. In this Thesis work, single crystals of electron-doped Nd{2-x}Ce{x}CuO4 (NCCO) were grown over a wide range of cerium concentration, and the following two neutron scattering studies were performed on these crystals. In the first study, an energy-integrating neutron scattering method is used to measure the two-dimensional instantaneous magnetic correlation length as a function of temperature and doping. For x 0.12, the correlation length diverges at the same temperature at which magnetic Bragg peaks appear, as expected. For x 0.12, on the other hand, the correlation length remains finite down to the lowest measured temperatures. Since bulk superconductivity is only found above about x=0.13, this shows that there is no genuine coexistence between superconductivity and long-range antiferromagnetic order, which was previously thought to extend to x = 0.17. The second study is the first inelastic neutron scattering investigation of an electron-doped cuprate superconductor in an applied magnetic field. This experiment measures how the weakening of superconductivity due to a magnetic field affects the antiferromagnetic response. An advantage of the electron-doped cuprates is that the critical field Hc2 required to completely suppress superconductivity is relatively low (~10 T). In zero field, the antiferromagnetic excitation spectrum of NCCO (x=0.166) is gapped below 2.5 meV. The gap energy is found to decrease linearly with applied field and to extrapolate to zero near Hc2. The observed behavior indicates that the non-superconducting ground state is similar to the (zero-field) paramagnetic state at temperatures above Tc, and thus that superconductivity and antiferromagnetism are not competing orders in this part of the phase diagram.

This thesis describes neutron scattering experiments on strongly correlated systems exhibiting a range of emergent phenomena: antiferromagnetism, charge order, superconductivity and multiferroicity. I have examined the La_{2}CoO_{4} compound which is a Mott insulator and orders antiferromagnetically near room temperature. The La_{2}CoO_{4} sample was studied using spherical neutron polarimetry and I present magnetic structure models to describe the two antiferromagnetic phases of the compound. Furthermore, the magnetic fluctuations have been investigated using neutron time-of-flight technique. This has allowed us to extract the dominant exchange interactions in the system. More interestingly, the work on La_{2}CoO_{4} presented in this thesis provides a basis for the experimental evidence of an hourglass dispersion in La_{5/3}Sr_{1/3}CoO_{4}, previously only observed in the copper oxide based superconductors. This dispersion has been understood in terms of a stripe ordered magnetic phase and was found to be well described by a linear spin-wave model. Neutron scattering experiments were also carried out on the new iron-based high-temperature superconductors, FeSe_{x}Te_{1-x}. A range of compositions were studied, including both antiferromagnetically ordered and superconducting. Below the superconducting phase transition temperature, a spin resonance mode was found centred on the antiferromagnetic wavevector. This is an important feature shared by many unconventional superconductors. The spin resonance intensity was found to reflect the order parameter of the superconducting state. Polarised inelastic neutron scattering experiments have revealed a small anisotropy between the in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic fluctuations at the resonance. This anisotropy cannot be readily explained by the usual anisotropic terms in the Hamiltonian. This could be evidence of new physics in the FeSe_{x}Te_{1-x} superconductors. Finally, I have studied CuO - a high-temperature multiferroic. Analysis of polarised neutron diffraction experiments shows that the magnetic domain population can be varied using an externally applied electric field. This unambiguously demonstrates coupling between the magnetic and ferroelectric degrees of freedom. Using representation analysis I derive the incommensurate magnetic structure in the multiferroic phase. The origin of the magnetoelectric coupling is consistent with models based on the inverse Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction.

The proceedings provide a topical survey of the static and dynamical magnetic properties of condensed matter studied by neutron scattering which has been the key technique in this field for a long time. The static aspects deal with the determination of long-range ordered spin structures and magnetization densities. The dynamic aspects concentrate on the determination of magnetic excitations such as spin waves and crystal-field transitions. The use of polarized-neutron techniques is particularly emphasized. All these topics are thoroughly introduced, methodically discussed, and highlighted with recent experimental results obtained for a vast variety of magnetic materials (e.g., strongly correlated electron systems, multilayers, nanocrystals, molecular complexes, etc.) by acknowledged experts. Other experimental methods (x-ray scattering, muon spin rotation) in the study of magnetism are compared to neutron scattering.
