Pressure-Induced Quantum Phase Transition in the Spin-Liquid TlCuCl3
Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 257201/1-4 (2004)
Abstract:
The condensation of magnetic quasiparticles into the nonmagnetic
ground state has been used to explain novel magnetic ordering
phenomena observed in quantum spin systems. We present neutron
scattering results across the pressure-induced quantum phase
transition and for the novel ordered phase of the magnetic insulator
TlCuCl3, which are consistent with the theoretically
predicted two degenerate gapless Goldstone modes, similar to the
low-energy spin excitations in the field-induced case. These novel
experimental findings complete the field-induced Bose-Einstein
condensate picture and support the recently proposed field-pressure
phase diagram common for quantum spin systems with an energy gap of
singlet-triplet nature.
