Suppression of quantum fluctuations by high magnetic field in one- and two-dimensional spin-1/2 magnets.

Abstract: Fluctuations in the properties of materials at low temperatures give rise to unusual and exotic effects. These fluctuations, quantum mechanical in origin and allowed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, affect both magnetic and metallic systems, and could be responsible for formation of high temperature superconductivity in certain materials. These effects are expected to be suppressed by applying high magnetic fields, but only limited experimental evidence for the suppression has so far been observed real materials. We propose measurements on two recently discovered magnetic materials which, owing to their molecular building blocks, allow access to a more extensive range of field-induced physics than was previously possible. We will make use of the 14 T superconducting magnet available at WISH, the instrument most ideally suited to this measurement.
