Field induced spin Luttinger liquid phase in a spin ladder

DOI

Spin ladders present a class of low dimensional quantum magnets that occupy a regime of subtle behaviour which lies between the stark extremes of a one-dimensional chain or two-dimensional plane. The new molecular magnet (C_{7}H_{10}N){2}CuBr{4}, known as DIMPY, is a strong-leg spin ladder with a quantum critical point (QCP) at B_c ~ 3 T separating a low field quantum disordered phase with a high field spin Luttinger liquid (LL) phase. Our original experiment was designed to test whether muons were sensitive to the QCP, only recently made accessible by the new HiFi spectrometer. Despite the difficulty of the measurement, we were able to show that muons are sensitive to the QCP in spin ladders. We now wish to capitalise on this remarkable result by mapping the hitherto unexplored phase diagram of DIMPY
